Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Collector's Edition Soundtrack Preorders Live At Amazon
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's physical edition soundtrack releases this August.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is undoubtedly one of the best Switch games of all time. Weaving an engaging narrative with inventive gameplay mechanics and a sprawling world to explore, the successor to Breath of the Wild quickly proved it was far more than just an asset flip. A sometimes overlooked part of its success is its soundtrack, which is filled with powerful tracks that help bring the diverse world of Hyrule to life. And if you want to keep listening to its music while away from your Switch and have a cool display piece, you'll be glad to know that Tears of the Kingdom: Official Soundtrack preorders are now open.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Original Soundtrack
The Tears of the Kingdom: Original Soundtrack is expected to begin shipping in August. Amazon lists the release date as August 9, while Play Asia lists it for August 5. You will, however, get it sooner from Amazon if you live in the US, simply because you'll be importing from overseas at Play Asia.
The Tears of the Kingdom original soundtrack includes over 200 tracks across nine discs. Each disc features gorgeous Zelda iconography and comes with a large, decorative storage case.
Note: Play Asia's price is $72 plus shipping and import fees, while Amazon's price is $136, at least for the time being. If you preorder from Amazon now, you won't be charged until your order ships in August. Plus, you will pay the lowest price offered between the time you order and release. It's highly unlikely this soundtrack will actually sell for $136 on Amazon. We'd expect it to drop significantly--close to Play Asia's price--before release. So you could secure your preorder now and cancel later if the launch price is too high.
That said, we wouldn't be surprised if this edition sells out, so you may want to secure your preorder and then cancel later if you think the launch price is too high.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Original Soundtrack Collector's Edition
Step up to the collector's edition and you'll get the same nine discs as the standard edition as well as a stylish Master Sword USB Player with 15 additional tracks. You'll also get a case with an exclusive design, giving you an easy way to store the volume when not in use.
Note: Amazon is currently charging $194 for the collector's edition version of the Tears of the Kingdom soundtrack (versus $120 plus import fees at Play Asia). Just like with the standard edition, it's unlikely you'll actually wind up spending $194. That said, we would expect this edition to sell out, so you may want to secure your preorder and then cancel your order closer to launch if you decide against getting it.
While you're waiting for these to ship, consider checking out the existing collection of Zelda soundtracks. This includes music from Wind Waker, Majora's Mask, and Breath of the Wild. For good measure, we've also tossed in two great Mario soundtracks--one of which was released to celebrate the series' 30th anniversary. Most of these soundtracks have limited stock and prices fluctuate frequently.
