My last art book was Hyrule Historia , a Zelda art book which was also published by Dark Horse Comics. I’m very excited for this one. :D
The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia is meant to be the definitive source for now.

it's official. buy a copy of hyrule historia
It's also #1 on amazon.ca for the time being.
When I pre-ordered it a few days ago it was already sitting at #2.
Dark Horse is definitely going to be happy they are releasing this in North America if the pre-orders continue this way.
Also interesting of note is that there is still no cover image on any of the amazon sites that I have seen. I have a feeling Dark Horse will be creating one themselves but it will be interesting to see how it differs from the Japanese version.
4th by my count
It's all in here.
But you can read all about it in here if you don't want to buy the awesome book.
US: $20.99 (£13.37)
UK: £22.09 ($34.66)

A wall scroll? I got a huge, nice wall scroll off eBay of the Twilight Princess cover picture.
Maybe a Zelda-theme controller/Wiimote?
You could pre-order this, but it's not coming out until after Christmas.
Or clothes/t-shirts!
Hyrule Historia contains the timelines as well as a lot of things from Zelda lore. Here's a link.
Will this be a good present for someone who says they love Legend of Zelda? She's only 14.
Look on Etsy lots of custom made stuff. Hyrule Hystoria is a pretty good book for any fan.

Looks like you can pre-order from here for $25.89. Aww yeahhh!
I'm the same way with A Link to the Past. I recommend this. Every Zelda fan should have it. Worth EVERY penny.
For my nostalgia fix haha
|Say something
Sure, I'll even give you an awesome GIF for free!
It's worth noting too that this is the official timeline, found in the Hyrule Historia, not a fan interpretation.
What do I need to read to learn about the Zelda lore and all this chonological time splitting stuff?
Edit: The Hyrule Historia. Is that all I need or is there more stuff.
Other than something like Hyrule Historia?
Hyrule Historia. Great book for reasonably cheap, a real collectors item and essential to understanding Zelda timelines, previous games and lore.
Hyrule Historia Amazon Link
You should get Hyrule Historia. My friend gave it to me for my birthday and it's beautiful and informative. Full color, lot's of pictures, timeline, concept art.
The one is the exact same one I pre-ordered and it was the one that ranked number 1 on best selling books.
Link
That's a very nice collection. I'm assuming you've already got Hyrule Historia preordered then, huh?
If he is in to video games there's a good chance he's a Zelda fan. If he also reads, The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia would be a great gift.
You make me hard as a Goron when I'm with you. <3
Oh, and this would have to be one of the most awesome Zelda-related items I've heard of- though I can't say it mentions that Link has twinkle toes.
You can be the Zelda to my Link. :) Haha.
The Hyrule Historia There is no more awesome Zelda item. I was gifted this and it is the crowning item in my Zelda collection. Purely amazing. :) <3

If you want the letters not to go in to each other I can do that just ask :D
I would love the Hyrule Historia book
its under my comics/books WL
thank you for the contest!!!! :D
The book came from Amazon. Oh look! A link!
To better understand the timeline and the general universe of LoZ I definitely recommend picking up the Hyrule Historia. Its a compilation book done after Skyward Sword and it depicts the original timeline and how it works within each game so far. It even touches on the Hero's Shade in Twilight's Princess. I really love the book and it's so well put together. I have beside me, so if there is any specific questions I can try to answer them that haven't already been touched on so far.
Edit: I forgot to provide a link to the book. Amazon.com
Hyrule history - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Legend-Zelda-Hyrule-Historia/dp/1616550414/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1422725394&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=zelda+book
I think the best way to spend a solitary birthday would look like this:
Wake up whenever the hell you want, but try for no later than 10AM, you want to enjoy the day after all! Make yourself your favorite breakfast even if it is just a bowl of cereal. While eating, watch your favorite show or movie. I would pre-schedule a massage! Massage envy has a special rate for first time guests (I am pretty sure) or look into a nearby massage school - you can generally get a 1-hour massage for about 20-30 dollars. Then snag a Jamba Juice to tie you over till dinner. Depending on if you are a home body or not this could then go one of two ways; either go home and play your favorite video game uninterrupted or go see a movie! If nothing is playing that day, then gift yourself some Fandango tickets to a showing later on in November. Several awesome looking movies are coming out in Nov. Then I would suggest ordering in for dinner, have a pizza delivered or chinese, whatever you prefer or if you are comfortable, go out and treat yourself to something awesome. After that, probably more video games or a new movie you haven't seen yet or maybe just some time on reddit, relaxing. You could also read a comic, manga, or book with some scented candles and a beer or glass of wine.
I think it would be awesome to gift yourself this book. I have looked at it and it is crazy awesome!
I hope those are good ideas! I hope you have a wonderful birthday!! :D
Holkan Turns 24 !! :D
Does he enjoy Zelda? Then I highly recommend these two books (unless he already bought them):
https://www.amazon.com/Legend-Zelda-Art-Artifacts/dp/1506703356/
https://www.amazon.com/Legend-Zelda-Hyrule-Historia/dp/1616550414/
Both hardcovers, one gives a detailed history/timeline of most of the Zelda games. The other covers rare artwork of the Zelda series. Any Nintendo or Zelda fan would love these!! The ultimate gift!
Gnomes is a good example. Hmm.
A SUPER popular guide book that came out in 2013 was The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia, based on the game's world and history.
Something like this that they did for LoZ BotW would be sweet to have along the way, more like you were saying with concert art, interviews with the creators, storyboards, side stories, behind the scenes, world building, lore, history, mythology, and the like. Then after the show is done, a thick compilation of those books together would be amazing! Kinda like the Goddess Collection for LoZ, lore and history and plot and making of, art and artifacts, everything else you could’ve ever dreamed of
get him hyrule historia. i suggest this, as one of my friends also loves the zelda games, but doesnt care about CIB or collecting per se. he loved this though.
Happy birthday!
I'm not sure how to show you what we'd want from Zazzle but I guess if we win you'd contact us individually about it? O_o (for me it's a custom poster)
As for your bf, well....what are some music he likes/movie genres, etc that he likes?
Oh my Zazzle!
EDIT: maybe he might like this?
Hyrule Historia
I know this is probably linked in here a hundred times, but the Hyrule Historia is seriously awesome.
Are you using a Mirror Shield or are you just naturally dazzling?
Link has twinkle toes
I've been wanting this for a while: http://amzn.com/1616550414 - I can't wait to find out all the cool little backstories and inside info on the Zelda games, it's supposedly a great read for fans of the series.
You might already know this but Hyrule Historia is being localized and is coming out Jan 29, 2013. Amazon has them available for pre-order and has a 40% discount on it, an even bigger discount than when I pre-ordered it. So yeah just letting you know if in case you were interested in it.

Oops! Here it is...

Zelda
no, we can't explain, but if you go buy the Hyrule Historia you can learn for your self
relevant: awesome book
i know exactly how you feel, buy your self this http://www.amazon.com/The-Legend-Zelda-Hyrule-Historia/dp/1616550414 and dream of being link every night.
Haha, awesome.
I'm very jealous of you playing The Wind Waker, I'd love to play through it again right now, but I'm desperately trying to hold off playing it until the HD release comes in October. Just two months and a bit to gooooo. I can't blimming wait, if you'll excuse my French.
Sounds sad to say, but I've not been into the handheld console lark for a while now, and I'm not sure how comfortable I am walking about London with that kind of kit on display. :P I am tempted though, Nintendo know how to make good handheld games.
The video cable? What do you mean by that? Like the top screen detached or something? That's what happened to mine when it was dropped. But the screen still works, barely- it's just very loose.
Ah man, I'm using the word jealous a lot here. But I'm very jealous that you've got the Collector's Edition on the Gamecube. I'd love that. I suppose they're not that expensive so maybe I'm just being a cheapskate.
Something I'm really considering picking up is the 'The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia'. It makes me fuzzy just thinking about it, and I've heard great things. The last time I looked it was £16 and it's now £21, so I might be better off getting it now rather than later. It would be a perfect Christmas present from someone though, so I'll wait and see, perhaps regrettably. Or maybe I won't, depends how much I'm craving some LoZ next time I think about it.
Oo-er.
Hyrule Historia or the Manga boxset?
I own both, they are really well-written.
Here you go :D http://www.amazon.com/The-Legend-Zelda-Hyrule-Historia/dp/1616550414/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1376536686&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=hyrule+historia
Sounds like you'd be interested in this.
Yeah, you're right - it would be more. For comparison, I looked at the going price for these two Blizzard books I own:
Starcraft II Field Manual
Diablo III Artbook
And this one as well:
Hyrule Historia
They're all in the $34.99 - $39.99 range. Which I would still totally pay for a nice coffee table Destiny book.
Currently $20.99, on my wishlist since March.
I don't need this because I actually read a good chunk of this in a store when I came across it a few months ago, and I don't really have space on my fangirl shelf in my bookcase to really put it there, so it'd probably get a shelf all to itself for now.
Alternatively, going over by less than $1, a fire extinguisher I've wanted since April that I don't need 'cause I totally am not gonna burn my apartment down. Nope. Totes not gonna. You throw water on a grease fire, right? ;-)
Hyrule Historia.
There is already an official Legend of Zelda timeline that was brought out by Nintendo. This nonsense he's doing is just more look at me please I have nothing Triforce stuff we all have seen already.
I could see it being like the Hyrule Historia
The Sky art books on Amazon. They are a collection of concept art by Yoshitaka Imano from the first 10 games. I own this collection and it is really quite spectacular. Hyrule Historia is also a good gift, as it covers all Zelda games from inception through Skyward Sword. Not as much of an art book as it is a general retelling of the franchise and an order of events for the games.
If you husband is somewhat of an audiophile, I would suggest Distant Worlds 1 & 2
This should cover you for whatever birthdays/christmas/anniversaries for like a year.
I have one of the Limited Edition Arts and Artifacts it has Goddess Collection.
I checked Amazon's page for the Hyrule Historia. It doesn't have the Goddess Collection written on the picture for their Hyrule Historia. Go check the 2 picture of the back cover it is missing the Goddess Collection text.
November 10th and the baby will be a boy!
Less than $20
Less than $40
Also, congrats! Do you have any names planned yet?
I grabbed this bad boy for about $5 once. Every once in a while, I play the Zelda "found special item" sound and hold it up, just to remind everyone in my home how awesome I am.
eta: they never seem particularly impressed. dicks.
I like it because I finally got a random gift without entering a contest (: and I like how there's a really positive vibe.
Can I haz gold?
I don't know if it counts but the cover has gold on it.
The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia!
Ive been anxious to read that one since finishing Link Between Worlds!
I have a few :L I'll put them in one post to make it easier for you.
Change Jar
Make it similar to this Zelda book and I am sold.
No problem. There's actually a couple of different timelines that have presented themselves through the games. Hyrule Historia breaks it all down but it's really unnecessary... each of the games stand on their own with their own unique story. https://www.amazon.com/Legend-Zelda-Hyrule-Historia/dp/1616550414
The entire timeline of LoZ has been released as an official book called Hyrule Historia. They have zero intention of scrapping anything and I have no idea where you heard such a thing.
https://www.amazon.com/Legend-Zelda-Hyrule-Historia/dp/1616550414
Others are commenting that Zelda games don't have a great story but the Zelda Universe is actually an intricately woven tapestry. It highlights the neverending struggle between good and evil and the games balance exploration and puzzle-solving really well.
I think you might really benefit from reading The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia. It goes into the lore of each Zelda game and places it in the Zelda timeline. Granted, it'll take away from some of the suspense if you decide to go back and play the older games but their gameplay should hold your interest if you do.
I'd check your local library first - you might be able to check it out for free instead of spending the $30 or so.
my bad. THIS IS THE PROPER LINK! (no pun intended) http://www.amazon.com/The-Legend-Zelda-Hyrule-Historia/dp/1616550414/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1347586761&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=hyrule+historia
I bought one of these, they're available on Amazon if anyone is interested.
I'm sorry. I'm one of those people that did not send a reply after receiving a gift. I had a very hectic life for the following few years and I just never got around to uploading the pictures I got after receiving it. It was a large copy of a Hyrule Historia book. Link: https://www.amazon.ca/Legend-Zelda-Hyrule-Historia/dp/1616550414
I did not initially realize how much I would love that gift. With a new baby I don't really have time to finish it but am currently working on getting my 5 year old into The Legend of Zelda so as we may read it together.
I still have the pictures on an SD card somewhere I'm sure. If anyone wants to see my ugly mug just say so. May obfuscate face if I dislike the image enough.
