I was really looking forward to finally being able to properly listen to the OST of Koei Tecmo's latest Musou game, which serves as a prequel to *The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom*. Released on Switch 2 in late 2025, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment turned heads notably for its soundtrack, composed by **Keiichi Okabe** and many of his peers from MONACA. In other words: the very people who moved you in *NieR* and *NieR:Automata*.

It is a massive 69-track OST, spanning over three and a half hours of music, which unfolds like a majestic storybook. It naturally features musical nods to Manaka Kataoka and her team's work on the latest *Zelda*, but also brings that sense of drama typical of MONACA's signature style. A marriage as unexpected as it is worth celebrating, which you can [now stream on Nintendo Music](https://music.nintendo.com/en-US/playlist/35f05251-ddf6-4f23-9db4-27e93ceacf2d/). A Switch Online subscription is required, but here is a quick reminder that you can now enjoy the Nintendo Music catalog right from your web browser!

Earlier this week, Nintendo also expanded [the Mario Kart World soundtrack](https://nowplaying.cool/the-long-awaited-mario-kart-world-soundtrack-has-finally-arrived-on-nintendo-music-and-you-can-listen-to-it-on-your-web-browser-now/) with tracks from the touring mode. This looks set to become a weekly routine, given how many songs are still missing from the lineup.
