Nintendo Music: The Wind Waker Added

Let's start the Zelda year 2025 with some small news, where another game has been added to the Nintendo Music catalogue – The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. It's based on the original Japanese soundtrack for the GameCube title, which comes with 133 tracks in total, including the "Game Demo Theme" at the end, which is from the Master Quest bonus disc trailer.

Curiously, they haven't linked The Wind Waker HD from the Wii U to this, but the remaster also got its own soundtrack in Japan with the "Sound Selection". They also had adjusted the quality here and there, which might mean that The Wind Waker HD will get an individual entry in the future of Nintendo Music. The same might be also true for Ocarina of Time 3D at some point, which got its own CD for the 25th Anniversary.

But before they add any of these more redundant soundtracks, they should focus on getting as many of the other (Zelda) games in there as possible. Tears of the Kingdom and Echoes of Wisdom would be especially nice to have.
