Available exclusively to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, this release invites a new generation of fans to experience the legendary melodies that first enchanted players over three decades ago.
Originally released in 1991 in Japan as The Legend of Zelda: Triforce of the Gods for the Super Famicom, and later in 1992 for Western audiences on the SNES, A Link to the Past is widely regarded as one of the greatest video games of all time.
Developed by Nintendo, the title set new standards in game design, music composition, and storytelling, with Koji Kondo’s soundtrack playing a pivotal role in the game’s enduring legacy.
Comprising 31 meticulously curated tracks and boasting a total runtime of 46 minutes, the newly released album offers fans a comprehensive listening experience.
Highlights include beloved classics such as the "Hyrule Castle" theme, the uplifting "Kakariko Village," and the atmospheric "Lost Woods." Other iconic tracks such as "The Master Sword," "Dark World," and the epic "Ganon Battle" are also featured, reflecting the depth and variety of the original score.
According to Nintendo’s official communication, "The addition of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past to the Nintendo Music app provides fans with the opportunity to relive the timeless soundtrack of this classic adventure."
