Breath Of The Wild Is Getting An 8-LP Vinyl Box, And Nintendo Handed It To A UK Label

Right, this one is proper catnip for a physical-media obsessive. Nintendo, famously tight about letting its music out onto records anywhere outside Japan, has finally opened the vaults for one of the best-loved scores in gaming. And it handed the job to a British label, which I love.
The label is Laced Records, based down in Guildford, who have quietly become one of the best in the world at pressing game soundtracks onto proper heavyweight wax. Announced last October, the collection comes in two sizes: a 2-LP set with 34 select tracks, and the big one, an 8-LP deluxe box holding 130 tracks, all newly remastered for vinyl. That deluxe set is close to four hours of music. Four hours of Breath of the Wild's aching, sparse piano off a needle. I may need to sit down.
The object itself
You know me, I care about the thing as much as the music. The limited 8-LP box has alternating blue and gold splatter-effect discs, printed inner sleeves, and a rigid gold-and-blue slipcase, and the eight records are sequenced thematically to follow the game's own journey, exploration through to the Divine Beasts and shrines. There is archival artwork in there from the game's own development team too. The 2-LP set gets blue-and-white marbled discs in a wide-spined sleeve. There are plainer standard black-vinyl versions of both as well, same music, if you do not need the colours.
The music comes from the Breath of the Wild composing team, Manaka Kataoka, Yasuaki Iwata, Hajime Wakai and Soshi Abe, and the highlighted tracks are the ones you would hope for, "Great Fairy Fountain" among them. Hearing that crackle to life on a turntable is going to be a moment.
Prices, dates and the small print
The 8-LP box is £145 direct from Laced Records, plus a little over eight quid for postage, or £159.99 with free shipping from the My Nintendo Store. The 2-LP set is £36 from Laced. It went on sale on the 19th of June, though it is worth knowing that Laced's own page has listed an estimated shipping date closer to September, so do not expect it to land on the doormat overnight. And be quick: the limited box was already showing as sold out on the Laced site while I was writing this, so check stock before you get your hopes up.
You can find the full details in Nintendo's announcement and buy direct from Laced Records.
There is a quiet significance to this, mind. Bill Trinen at Nintendo of America told Nintendo Life it is partly a way "to gauge and understand what is the demand for physical soundtracks". So if you have ever wanted Nintendo's music on your shelf rather than a streaming app, this is the one to support. Zelda turns 40 this year, and I can think of few better ways to mark it than this.
