Record label Nippon Columbia will publish The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Original Soundtrack on July 31st in Japan. The Breath of the Wild sequel launched for Nintendo Switch consoles one year ago.

As with Nippon Columbia's publication of the Skyward Sword soundtrack, the album is available in two separate editions, shipping via distributors Light in the Attic in Seattle, PixelCrib in Australia, Play-Asia and CDJapan. The standard edition ships on nine compact discs, spanning 11 hours of music across 344 music tracks. The limited edition also includes a sword-shaped USB flash drive preloaded with 5.1-channel sound files.

Music for the open-world action-adventure game is by Manaka Kataoka, Maasa Miyoshi, Masato Ohashi, and Tsukasa Usui. The Legend of Zelda Orchestra Concert from the Nintendo Live 2024 event, conducted by Taizo Takemoto, can be viewed on the Nintendo YouTube channel.
