I just got this the other day at a local retro game store. Didn't expect that I wouldn't have to import it from Japan. Really saved on cost. I'm pretty excited. 5-disc Breath of the Wild complete soundtrack.

Well, hooray? I don't know much about the Zelda games, but I'm happy you didn't have to spend more than you needed to on this.

The actual image itself doesn't show up. (I even tried going directly to it)
But how the heck is the soundtrack 5 discs?

Found an image of it:


Supposedly was only going to be release in Japan exclusively. So how did you get it?

Also does the eye icon remind anyone else of Neverwinter Night's eye icon?

Breath of the Wild (if I am remembering correctly) is the newest one that was out on the Nintendo Switch - I played about 2 hours of it (very open world like) because I'd borrowed it. I do plan on purchasing it (when I get caught up on the majority of other games I need to finish; so hoping by then the price goes down or I can get it used) - but it's a pretty incredible game from what I played.

Sort of, but there are some significant differences. The only similarity is that it's a weeping eye, but that's it. For instance:

1. The Zelda Eye has three "pyramids" on top. The NWN Eye has "horns".
2. The Zelda Eye is fully open. The NWN Eye is half-closed.
3. The Zelda Eye has one tear, ready to drop. The NWN Eye has three tears, already dropped.

And so on ... the rest are different aesthetics around the eye. They simply add to the different look.

(And that's not even mentioning this eye, which is different again...)

Ah interesting. I linked to the image on Twitter. I can see it but maybe that's because I'm logged in on Twitter. Here's the image from Imgur. It's got 5 discs plus a little "play button" pin that pins onto your shirt or anything and has a headphones jack and 15 of the tracks on it. Pretty neat. As well as a booklet that's entirely in Japanese lol. It was just sitting there in a local store chain called PNP Games. The guy said it's been there forever and no one has bought it. I'm glad I got it. Don't know why it was there. I guess they ordered it thinking it would be a popular item?

The eye symbol is that of the Sheikah, an ancient tribe of people from the Zelda universe that form the basis of a lot of the content in Breath of the Wild.
