Wonderful.... submitted by Blackberry Elf-Glitter on July 9, 2013, 11:03am For ALL Zelda lovers, this book tells you things you would never even realize about every, single. Zelda game. there. is. I only have Skyward Sword, but there are detailed descriptions of each game individually, so by the end of the book, you know more about the games than people who have them. As well as story lines, history, characters, settings, and themes, the book also covers behind the scenes stuff. It shows sketches and scenes from deleted ideas, characters, settings, etc etc etc. I found it very cool, and it was really funny looking at the deleted sketches for DIFFERENT VERSIONS of the people who are in the game. All this stuff is so complex, but that just shows how cool the book is! It goes into so much detail!!!!

Awesome submitted by alemerand on July 10, 2013, 8:37am This book not only tells you the order of the games and the story behind them. It also has never before seen concept art from the creators of the games.
