    • Zelda Fans Unite!
Format: Hardcover
My kids have LOVED this book. They got a gently used copy from their cousin, and since then have read it cover to cover countless times over the years. Its the book that is duct taped together because it is because it is everyone's favorite. So this new nice copy is just the replacement. One would think that it would be too advanced for a 10 and 8 year old, but it has not been- in fact I thank this book for making my younger reader want to become a faster reader.

    • Huge, super detailed and beautiful.
Format: Hardcover
Beautiful book. Amazing art and fully detailed lore. The book is HUGE though. Not carry-around kind of reading. I don’t mind that. Makes me look smart. Anyways, 10/10. They include details from all games, but not mangas. Tons of images, and they do a good job of explaining the complicated timelines. Thanks for fueling my hyperfixation ... show more

    • Photos don't do this justice. It's the size of an encyclopedia; because it is.
Maybe the fact it is styled off of an NES cartridge caused me to guess it was on the smaller side but I wasn't prepared for what was delivered. The box it came in was big enough to house a laptop and it weighed several kilos and inside, pristinely packaged safely, was the most gorgeously bound book I have ever owned. From cover to cover, even the gilded edges of each page, the book is gold upon gold; it is a treasure to behold. Every square inch of it's exterior surface is gilded and brilliant. The sleeve is made of a similar material as an actual NES cartridge and I have little doubt it will protect the corners and cover of the book for many years. Something tells me it's not something many people are going to keep filed away in a bookcase though. This book begs to be shown as a centerpiece. Inside, the book is well bound and constructed in a similar fashion as an encyclopedia. It's binding is robust and I don't expect it to show much wear even with heavy use. Even the edges of each page are pristine and cleanly cut with no lines or uneven edges as sometimes happens in modern print books. In short, the book is perfect in every way. Once you get past the cover and start judging the book, it's broken up into several sections including historical, and a database of characters and items. The book even has an instruction manual on the outside of the box, in the same giant sized scale, but familiar shape of an NES game manual. It helpfully advises not to immerse in liquid, or store next to any pots which may be shattered. The art work is top notch and pays homage to the beautiful artwork of the early NES instruction manuals. Half of the fun of owning The Legend of Zelda on the NES was looking at the manual and the maps. In my pre-adolescent mind, the instructions artwork showed me how the game was actually supposed to look, rather than how the limitations of the system could display it. Using my imagination as I played the game, the blocky stand ins for mount doom, became craggy mountain peaks and the overworld became a fantasy theme park cover ocean, sea, and air. This book is like an NES manual, taken to fantastic lengths, and penned with the most fantastical artwork and writing that any gamer could ask for. Well worth the $35. Buy these while you can because I can see these only increasing in value for many years to come. ... show more
