Praise for The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia:
“Perfect for Zelda
fans and appealing to gaming historians, Zelda:
Hyrule Historia is a shelf worthy piece of non-fiction about a great
fiction.”—Newsarama
“With the full gamut of
chronology on full display and a nearly ridiculous amount of history and
artwork to sift through, this collection is huge and exhausting. It’s also well
worth it, as this guide is the only one in its existence that could gather so
many facts about such a beloved series and make it as terrific looking as it
is.”—EGM Now / Digital Noob
“Hyrule
Historia fulfills on its premise: a history of Hyrule, the wonderful,
legendary world we’ve been falling in love with again and again since 1987. If
you’re looking for the latest collector’s piece to celebrate your love for the
franchise, look no further: Hyrule Historia is it.”—IGN
