The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask heads to Nintendo Music
Nintendo has confirmed the Majora's Mask soundtrack for its music app, alongside a new card pack and icon rewards.
Nintendo will add the soundtrack of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask to its Nintendo Music app on Friday 9 October, the company confirmed on its Japanese topics page.
The score is for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, and Nintendo says it will include the main theme alongside music from “various scenes”, inviting listeners back to the looping world of Termina.
The music is only part of Nintendo's Majora's Mask push this month. Since Sunday 4 October, the second pack in its Zelda Collection Cards has been rolling out through the Nintendo Today! app, delivering a different Majora's Mask character card each day. Every card unlocks a one-attempt quiz, and correct answers earn medals that can be swapped for cards or wallpapers missed in the first, Breath of the Wild pack.
Switch Online members can also claim Majora's Mask icon parts through the Platinum Point Mission & Gift programme, available until 09:59 on Friday 23 October. The parts can be redeemed from the Nintendo Switch Online app on Switch or Switch 2, and unlocked by playing the Nintendo 64 version of the game in NINTENDO 64 Nintendo Classics.
Nintendo is already selling tickets for a Zelda 40th anniversary concert that runs across five Japanese cities from January 2027, with a ballot now open.
Our opinion
Majora's Mask has spent more than two decades as the Zelda series' strangest, saddest entry, so it is a fitting choice to carry the 40th anniversary rather than another pass at Ocarina of Time. Putting the full score on Nintendo Music is quietly smart: it gives players who only know the game through re-releases a reason to sit with the three-day loop outside the game itself. The card pack and icon rewards are lighter fare, but together they show Nintendo treating its back catalogue as something to revisit rather than simply re-sell. The real test is depth — the main theme is iconic, but Majora's Mask lives in its odd, unsettling corners, and the score should be allowed to prove that.
