I had been waiting for a book like this since i originally heard about its release in japan, even arranged for a copy through friends/family. This book has everything a collector wants to know about a series. Times lines, concept art, character design, idea's that didn't make the games, etc...
This book weighs a fair bit due to the glossy paper and hard cover and you can easily beat a Ganon with it. I love the alternative art for characters through the games and the rich story it tells you. As an added bonus you even get a 32 page manga in the back the predates the Skyward Sword game.
Not gonna post any spoilers but if you love playing Zelda as much as me get this book. The only games it doesn't timeline are the short ones with no real plot like Links crossbow training and the Links game & watch game.

As a longtime (and hardcore) Zelda fan, as soon as this book was released in Japan, I joined the movement to have it localized for other regions as well. I have been awaiting this product for over a year now, and I can gladly say this purchase has been more than worth the wait. At such a low cost, this book about all things Zelda contains exclusive art, information, words from the creators, manga and more presented with an unrivalled finesse. You are paying to get The Book Of Zelda, to put it shortly. I can assure any Zelda fan out there that you will not regret picking this one up to add to your collection.

There's just so much that can be said about this book. It contains artwork and concept drawings for all Zelda games in existence. It also includes notes about certain pieces that are extremely interesting to read about. It also contains the timeline that was translated from the Japanese version of this book which is invaluable in understanding how the Legend of Zelda breaks down in the timeline. As an added bonus, there's a manga in the back of the book that explains events prior to the beginning of Skyward Sword (though not completely canon). Since it's a limited edition run, you don't want to miss out on buying this book. It's worth every penny.

Awesome book! Great price! My son is really enjoying it. We live in a town without a bookstore so this was a great find and shopping on Amazon was so convenient.
