Vinyl record collectors are being rewarded with a modern resurgence in the medium. Video game nerds have been especially spoiled, as companies like Materia Collective, iam8bit, Fangamer, and others have released some outstanding game-inspired music on vinyl. Now Materia Collective is bringing back two of its most exciting albums in The Legend of Zelda's Children of Termina and Ballads of Hyrule. Both albums are currently available from Materia Collective for a limited time.
The Legend of Zelda's Children of Termina is composed by Rozen and takes inspiration from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Each arrangement is said to evoke feelings of "mystery and wonder with undercurrents of dread and fear." The limited availability Children of Termina 2x vinyl collection is available now for a price of $59.99. The triple-gatefold design features art referencing Majora's Mask's third day as well as a special booklet.
Ballads of Hyrule is also composed by Rosen, but rather than focus on a single game takes inspiration from across The Legend of Zelda series. This album provides what Materia Collective describes as a collection of "melodic, relaxing compositions" akin to a "night walk around the lands of Hyrule." The Ballads of Hyrule album includes a single record and is available now for $34.99.
As noted, both the Children of Termina and Ballads of Hyrule LPs are only available for a limited time. It's unclear how much stock the Materia Collective has available, but once the albums are sold out who knows how much time it'll be before they're available once more. Of course, there's plenty of other Materia Collective albums available, including Rozen's other Zelda work like Sins of Hyrule or his popular Kingdom Hearts-inspired work, The Keyblade War.
