Nintendo has recently announced an 274 page art book known as 'Hyrule Historia' in honor of the 25 years of Zelda gaming!
The 'Legend of Zelda' is mind-blogging over 25 years the series has been going on strong, making the 'series' an legend of its own right living up to its name.
And to end the 25th anniversary party in epic fashion, Nintendo is releasing an 274 page book filled with tons of art divided into three main chapters!
The first details the story of Skyward Sword, as the origin of Hyrule and the series in general.
The second chapter is a compendium of Hyrule's history across the entire series.
The third chapter contains a collection of concept artwork from each game, nicely rounding out the package.
Furthermore, the book will also include a 32 page comic based on Skyward Sword, featuring 8 pages in full color and a story that was edited by series producers from the games.
Sadly, no news of English translation has been announced, but for true Zelda collectors that 'fact' will not matter, and they will be happy to spend the $41 USA and shipping cost to import this book once it goes on sale just before the holidays on December 21st.
I wonder how much it will be selling on eBay when Zelda is 50 years old! :)
