Nintendo Music has received regular updates since its launch at the end of October, with a new soundtrack coming every Tuesday. This week we're finally getting a new Zelda title up in the lists with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
This is based on the official soundtrack that was released three years ago, which offered 187 tracks in total. You may notice that the Nintendo Music release is one track short – that's the Wii Channel jingle that came at the very end.
They've also added four games to the search lists, where it simply links to an existing soundtrack:
- Metroid Prime Remastered (Switch) → Metroid Prime (GCN)
- Skyward Sword HD (Switch) → Skyward Sword (Wii)
- Mario Kart 8 (Wii U) → Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Switch)
- Breath of the Wild (Wii U) → Breath of the Wild (Switch)
That does make sense for the most part, since the music didn't really change between these releases. Only in case of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe they added a lot more, where they could offer a playlist that only has the Wii U music in it.

Looking back over the past 13 years, I could make a case for Skyward Sword having the best soundtrack of the series. So many memorable themes: Fi's Theme, the Link/Zelda relationship theme, the sky overworld, Faron Woods, most of the dungeons and cutscenes. The best use of orchestra (though BOTW and TOTK have their moments).
Not that the games that came before didn't have stellar soundtracks of their own. It's just that Skyward Sword set the bar that high.
