    A must-have!

    This Collectible book is a neat piece to own. It is filled with A LOT of concept are from the Zelda Devs on all games(up to Skyward Sword). Also has a lot of extra info from the creators, their previous thoughts and Ideas for the games, what sprouted their ideas; etc. What I found most interesting, is their chronology of the games. The book is a nice, tall piece, making it feel like a collectible. Again, it's not a story or biography book, it's more illustrations and captions. But nonetheless, if you are a Zelda fan, I think it is a great piece to have.

    They said it was new, but you can notice that is not

    I was hoping get this item as new, but it was not, you can notice some scratches, and black stains in the back, still want this book and I love it and thats all the insides and the pages are perfect, only the cover have this bad stuff

  • A beautiful edition

    This is a well put-together and very attractive tome that takes you on a journey through the fictional history of the beloved franchise, The Legend of Zelda. Including notes from the creators and wonderful artwork, along with impressive artistic design, the contents offer a peek both into the early creative process that led to the characters of Link and Zelda and also the story of a millennia-old conflict between the forces of good and evil that is worthy of Tolkein. Anyone with an interest in fantasy, artwork, design, media or just anyone who enjoys a good story will find something compelling here. Kudos to Nintendo and Dark Horse for what amounts to a long-desired, and well made, gift to their fans and thanks to Shigeru Miyamoto for sharing his childhood sense of wonder with us by giving us a world that we can all play in.

  • Great reading and gift!

    All zelda fans should have this book. Beautifully illustrated. Would love to see an updated version with Breath of the Wild artwork and story included in it. The book would be twice as thick!
