Hey! Listen! Watch Out! This Looks Awesome!
This Nintendo juggernaut has arguably some of the greatest video games of all time under its belt. From Ocarina of Time all the way to the modern gem that is Breath of the Wild, it truly seems like Link can do no wrong!
…Except for that TV series that no one dares speak of.
Of course there are still plenty of gamers out there who have yet to experience the epic adventures of the green-mantled hero, and lets be honest the catalogue of titles and amount of lore is so vast that it might put some people off. If only there was a way for the uninitiated to get up to speed…
Well, Dark Horse must have been thinking the same thing, since they are due to release an encyclopedia that chronicles the entire Zelda timeline in 2018!
According to an article on Polygon –
Dark Horse is bringing its third compendium of Legend of Zelda lore to bookshelves next year with the English edition of The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia.
It covers the series from 1986âs first game through Twilight Princess HD, which launched in 2016 on Wii U. The Encyclopedia is the third and last book in a series comprising it, 2013âs Hyrule Historia, and Art & Artifacts, which released in February of this year.
The 320-page book compiles entries for enemies, items, potions, concept art, screencaps, maps, characters, language and more, Dark Horse said in a news release. It also features an interview with Eiji Aonuma, the producer of Legend of Zelda.
The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia had published earlier this year in Japanese. This edition will publish on April 24, 2018 and lists for $39.99. Preorders are being taken at Amazon and and Barnes & Noble.
If you call yourself a Zelda fan or are curious as to what all the fuss is about, this deserves a place in your collection!
