With Nintendo and soundtracks, it can be a bit complicated: soundtrack albums are frequently released, but it’s far from automatic. When a game comes out, there’s no way to know for sure if the soundtrack will be released later down the line. Therefore, when a new soundtrack album is announced, fans always breathe a sigh of relief (even though they really shouldn’t have to!).

And this is what happened today. Nintendo announced that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD would get a soundtrack album, which will be released next month in Japan (on July 27th). It will cost 4 611 Yen, and come with 3 discs. On those discs, there will be a total of 108 tracks, with:

• Disc 1: 40 tracks
• Disc 2: 37 tracks
• Disc 3: 31 tracks

Thanks to this soundtrack album, the music of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will finally be available at the highest quality possible. It’s a pretty big deal, considering the full soundtrack was never released before (though we did get a soundtrack CD with the Limited Edition of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. We don’t know if the soundtrack album includes the improved tracks from that CD).

The album will come in a 3-side digipack, with three 12cm CDs, an 8 page booklet, and a reversible mini-poster. First-print copies will also include a 40mm badge.

Here’s what the cover of the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD soundtrack album looks like:

And here’s what the sides of the digipack, the poster, and the badge look like:
