The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Hyrule Historia Art Book

The English version is released.And for that English one, which I purchased this is what I have to say.There is not enough nice thighs to say about this piece.It's a magnificent book, its really great.The collective of artwork through the ages is a wonderful to see. There are character designs that never even made it to the games that's great to see.The book even includes a manga of skyward sword in the back of the book translated into English and reads like a traditional manga.I love have this book on my shelf. As a person who collects art books and as a fan of a franchise that I can only define as the Lord of the rings of my generation, this is a Zelda piece that needs to, and I mean NEEDS to be owned by a fan of this franchise.The book calls upon everything a Zelda fan could want. Great art, a manga and a timeline that connects the entirety of the Zelda multiverse.

The product itself is amazing, it truly is a must have for any Zelda fan and a wonderful way to celebrate its 25th anniversary. I waited this long because I kept on hoping there would be an english translation, but I doubt it now so I had to settle for the japanese language one. Pictures are amazing, and overall the book is great quality. It is smaller then I imagined, but it is full of content. I could do without the manga though. Overall it is a wonderful book and there are translations online, so I can enjoy my hard copy and read the translations online. This product is so great that I would buy it again if there is an english translation.edit: as stated in the comments below, apparently there is an English version coming late January 2013. more info can be found at ign and probably dark horse's website.

What can I say? I haven't even opened it. I tend to damage my personal items due to poor care, so I left it inside a shelf with anti humidity packs, and I hope it continues being as gorgeous as it is, until I learn Japanese so that I can read it.

I got the Japan version for her at Christmas, at a much higher price. She loved it... but this one is larger and in English. The packaging was terrible tho, no cushion was in the box, so all the corners are damaged, too bad!

I'm a massive fan of Legend of Zelda so had to get a book with the art work. The games have always been visually stunning and this book meets my expectations.

From this art book, I can see the Japanese elaboration and their passion to make things perfect.The date is a little bit long but the book still safely arrived.

Amazing art book, for the real Zelda fan.It's so cool that it's in japaneese. This is the origonal version of the book,there is also an english version with a green bookcover.

The book is truly a piece of art. It is expensive but its mostly worth it because there might not a English translations if u want know what's it say check out glitter berries translations
