Earlier this week it, was announced that Xenoblade Chronicles 2 would get an Official Soundtrack in Japan. Today, Nintendo shared that Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will receive the same treatment. The Official Soundtrack for Nintendo's first open-world Zelda is set for a release in Japan on April 25th. As with the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Soundtrack, there will be several editions:

1) Limited Edition

This edition will come with its own music player in form of a play button, which is pre-loaded with 15 field tracks from the Field Music Collection CD. The songs there are hard-coded, which means you can't replace them or add new songs. It will also come with 5 CDs and special packaging with digipack. Included in the 5 CDs are 211 tracks as well as two bonus tracks (E3 2014 Trailer and Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 Trailer) and various sound effects from the game. There is also a booklet that includes a roundtable with the developers. Cost is 7000 Yen plus taxes (~$67).

2) Regular Edition

This edition costs 5000 Yen plus taxes (~$48) and includes 5 CDs and the booklet.

...but why?
I mean it looks nice, but hardcoded music players are just stupid. What are they, McDonald's?

Well, at least it comes with the CDs too.

I swear i only heard 2 soundtracks in my 120 hours of playing, where i can find the rest?

I hope they revamp the songs a bit. Not sure i want to listen to an elderly pianist with arthritis.

211 tracks for a game that have "no music at all" for some people, thats gonna be a shock for them x).

Music from the Switch version was dumped last year as .bfstm files which play fine in foobar2000 with the right plugin.

There's more variety than you think, but while the music works well in the game, it's not so great for just listening to...
