If you're a fan of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, prepare your wallets—the game's official soundtrack boxset is available for pre-order but comes with a hefty price tag of £230. Announced by the Japanese Zelda Twitter account, this comprehensive collection features 344 songs on 9 CDs, compiled from the game and its trailers, totaling around 11 hours of music. Additionally, the set includes a Master Sword-shaped USB stick with high-resolution and 5.1-channel sound sources, offering an immersive audio experience. This collector’s item is perfect for die-hard Zelda enthusiasts who prefer physical copies over streaming services.

- Also, Bandai will be releasing a physical replica of the iconic Master Sword, and an art book is in the works, though there's hope for an English translation of the latter. These collectibles add to the extensive range of Zelda merchandise set to delight fans.
