I wish Nintendo would get better at releasing soundtracks. I want vinyl copies of everything.

Looks really fucking cool.

But CD? What year is it?! Where's the vinyl?!

No, the irony isn't lost on me

I know the answer to this is going to be a resounding "nah fam" but does anyone think this might come to Spotify/Apple Music/etc? I really think Nintendo is missing an opportunity there.

Got it in the mail the other day. The packaging is excellent and the music sounds great. The tracks do two full loops for which is great for casual listening and the Game Boy version in particular sounds very clean and authentic (at least to my memory of the music from decades ago). It even has a full artist breakdown for each track on the Game Boy version, something that has been unknown since the game's release. The only thing that's missing is the English verison of the TV commercial vocal track for the Switch version, although if you really want that Nintendo has an MP3 download for it on their UK website: https://www.nintendo.co.uk/games/oms/zelda_links_awakening/zelda_wind_fish_ballad.mp3

It took over a quarter of a century but we finally got a Link's Awakening soundtrack release and it doesn't disappoint.
