The Legend of Zelda Hyrule Historia book

My copy arrived yesterday & it's a huge beast of a book. Buy it. Now.

As much as I like Zelda I'm not really interested in this book, then again I don't know too much about it.

Pitch it to me.

It'd big enough to bludgeon someone with it

That's what I was told

Sold!

In seriousness, I'm in the same boat as Jaster. Happy to be sold it, but not overly enthusiastic about it at the moment.

im still waiting for mine

I bought a copy in Game today.

I pre-ordered the Limited Edition version from Forbidden Planet ages ago, and forgot all about it.
Imagine my shock when it arrived in the letterbox yesterday. I'm scared to open it.

Hey Jas and Balla, any room on the boat for me?

Go on guys, pitch it to us.

JUST GOT MY COPY

It's a little Skyward-sword-centric (I guess they have more concept art to hand) but there's a collection of cutting room floor bits and concept explanations for all the bits you'd associate with the "Nintendo Difference".

Also, you can learn to write BOOBS in Gerudo.

Hmmm.....anyone else? TALK TO ME

Buy it now because in 10 years it'll be super rare* & you'll be thinking to yourself, now why didn't I get it when it was super cheap.





*Possibly not true as there are millions of copies everywhere. Even in my local fruit n veg shop.

I love it - just one worry:

They put the timeline thing together to indicate how the canon flows (does a canon flow?). Although some things are obvious (i.e. Wind Waker -> Phantom Hourglass), and although they do put a big disclaimer in that essentially says "we reserve the right to change how this all works so we can make another awesome game"... when the WiiU Zelda game is officially announced, the internet is now going to be filled with dipshit fanboys complaining that it doesn't fit the existing story, or even that Nintendo might dilute their plans because of the structure they've now set up. #GettingMyIrrationalFearInNow - As long as Nintendo carry on retelling the Zelda story as they have done in the past, everything'll be fine.

Anyway, on to the concept art bit now.
You know who should get their own game? Queen Ambi.

I love my copy and I get lost in it for hours.

Thank you Shanks <3
