This book is great for any Zelda fan. The hardback covers and pages are of excellent quality. There is a lot of artwork, screenshots and information contained in the book which will take hours and hours to read through.
My main gripe, and the reason I knock a star off, is this silly timeline that first appeared in the Hyrule Historia. They really try to work with it when explaining the history of Hyrule and connecting the games, and it just comes across as stupid and confusing, and as a Zelda fan I find it disappointing. I mean, why does it split into 3 timelines after Ocarina of Time? When I completed that game, I was triumphant and it ended with Link as a child. No idea where the other two timelines come from. What’s wrong with treating the games individually? Oh yes, the stupid internet won’t allow that. Hopefully this is the last book where we see this timeline.
Anyway, enough ranting about that timeline. If you can ignore it or read around it, you’ll enjoy this book, and I recommend it to all Zelda fans.

This book is fantastic. I don’t normally enjoy reading, but this ???? OMG!! I’m a huge fan of The Legend of Zelda. If you are too. You need to purchase this book ???? It describes all the lore to you that want properly explained in the games. For example, it explains Ganondorfs backstory and each individual boss within the dungeons. So interesting how dark Hyrule is.

This is the best book that Dark Horse Publishing has put out and my first Zelda game is in here which is Oracle of Ages on Game Boy Color.

Bought for my 10 year old Zelda fanatic’s birthday. Decided on this over Hyrule Historia after reading reviews. He wasn’t disappointed and has barely put it down since receiving it. Worth the money and highly recommended for fans of the series.

They loved this and thought that illustrations and factoids were great. Excellent choice for an art lover and Zelda fan.

This is a wonderful book that’s so full of information that even the most hardcore of TLOZ fans might find something they didn’t know.
If you want to know more about anything be it the history of hyrule, the many enemies or even how much each colour rupee is worth in each game then this is for you.
Each page bursts with information. Apart from Breath of the wild (its getting its own book in November) this is a great companion piece to the series as a whole.
I had alot of fun reading through this. Learning about each village in each game, seeing just how many varieties of enemies have been in the series (its alot more than you might think) and just the presentation as a whole.
I found it easy to navigate and find what I was looking for. It has the updated timeline (again without BOTW) and I can go on and on about what lies in its pages.
Pick it up, get nostalgic and see if you don’t end up playing one of the many legends of Zelda.
