Posted August 23, 2012 I'm not down with my Japanese to English translation, but could the book be thicker simply because our words are longer? It's because they are translating the extra Japanese text found in things like the concept art so they need the extra space. Guess they won't just be removing the original text.

Posted November 20, 2012 Dark Horse editor Patrick Thorpe: This is the official cover for the North American version of The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia. The logo and gold colored design elements will be gold foil stamped. The large symbol on the cover is the Gate of Time from Skyward Sword. We felt that it was appropriate for a number of reasons. Hyrule Historia is a history book, not only about the development of the games, but the history of Hyrule as well. We wanted the reader to feel like they were stepping through the gate, back in time, and experiencing all aspects of the Legend of Zelda. As keen-eyed Zelda fans will tell you, the three symbols surrounding the triforce are the symbols of the three goddesses who… well, I’ll let you read the book to find out their signifance. But we loved the gate’s symbol because it is fraught with meaning, much of which is explained in different sections of the book, and appear again and again throughout the series. One of the other reasons is that there are Skyward Sword sections that bookend Hyrule Historia. It felt appropriate to put a symbol from the 25th anniversary game on the cover. I hope that you all like it as much as we do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 29, 2012 Just pre-ordered this at Amazon. I intend to give it to a friend as a late Christmas present. However if I find something else for him between then and now I think I'll keep it for myself. :awesome: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Hold up now. Is this limited edition one only available in the US? I got the normal one on pre-order with Amazon.co.uk, I don't see the limited edition on available... I'd imagine delivery costs from US sites would add a hefty amount to the already pricey $69.99 EDIT Just saw that Forbidden Planet UK in the post There's none of those shops here though Checking the website EDIT2 It still not on their webiste Oh wait there is one FP store in Dublin (i did not know this)..... will have to look into this further so Edited November 29, 2012 by Mokong Automerged Doublepost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
