Nintendo continues to celebrate its storied musical legacy with the latest update to the Nintendo Music mobile app, now featuring the original soundtrack from The Legend of Zelda for both the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and the Famicom Disk System.

This latest addition gives fans and collectors unprecedented access to some of the most iconic video game music ever composed, further cementing Nintendo's commitment to preserving its audio heritage for a new generation of listeners.

Fans can now listen to such memorable selections as the "Title Theme," "Overworld Theme," "Puzzle Solved," "Underworld Theme," and others, all instantly recognizable to longtime Nintendo enthusiasts.

These themes, composed by legendary Nintendo musician Koji Kondo, have inspired countless players and have had a profound impact on the development of video game music since the franchise debuted in 1986. In a move that will delight collectors and retro gaming fans, the update also adds the complete Famicom Disk System soundtrack for The Legend of Zelda.

This version contains 12 tracks and offers subtle variations unique to the Famicom Disk System hardware, extending the runtime to about ten minutes.

Nintendo's decision to continue expanding the Nintendo Music app follows closely on the heels of previous updates.

Just last week, the app saw the arrival of the Luigi's Mansion soundtrack, which introduced an impressive 73 tracks to the service.

The consistent rollout of classic and contemporary soundtracks underscores Nintendo’s mission to make its extensive music catalog accessible through convenient mobile platforms and connected services, complementing content available through the Nintendo Switch eShop and Nintendo Direct presentations.
