Laced Records and Nintendo are teaming up to deliver one of the best modern soundtracks on a grand old format.

If you’re still waiting for the ultimate excuse to buy a turntable — and start another collectible habit you probably can’t afford — Nintendo and Laced Records might have finally given you it. Next year, the two are joining forces to drop two vinyl versions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s soundtrack, and they’re stunning.
The editions, which arrive on June 19, 2026, hope to deliver the Breath of the Wild OST in two different ways. For $40, the double LP offers a hand-picked selection of tracks that capture the essence of the story; meanwhile, an exhaustive, eight-LP, 130-song definitive edition goes all out, delivering the ultimate fan experience for $180.
The 8-LP special edition is a work of art.

Each version is available for pre-order through the My Nintendo Store and Laced Records, with both available in standard black vinyl and colorful finishes, which come at no extra cost. However, these more eye-catching editions are only available through Laced Records, My Nintendo Store, and Nintendo New York and San Francisco.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild limited-edition double LP
- Two heavyweight 180g (6.3oz) discs with a marbled blue and white design in a wide-spined outer sleeve with printed inner sleeves
- 34 curated tracks, including “Overworld (Day),” “Great Fairy Fountain,” and “Hyrule Castle”, aiming to represent the journey of the whole game
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild premium 8-LP box set
- Eight remastered heavyweight discs with a splattered blue and gold effect
- A dual slipcase with spined inner sleeves, including archival artwork made by the game’s dev team
- 130 tracks in total, all specifically remastered for vinyl
- Discs are themed around major sections of the game, such as exploring, freeing the Divine Beasts, and confronting Calamity Ganon
Even the two-LP set is a sight to behold.

Fans can also listen to the soundtrack on Nintendo Music, an exclusive app for Nintendo Switch Online members, but it’s not quite the same, is it? Instead, why not make another classic special-edition gaming purchase: one that’ll spend 99.5% of its life hidden away, 0.1% actively used for its intended purpose, and 0.4% being taken off your shelf to show off to friends you invite over. If you plan to fall into the latter category, check out the prices and availability of the Breath of the Wild vinyls where you are.
