To end the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda in true epic fashion, Nintendo have announced an art book known as Hyrule Historia.
The 274 page book contains three main chapters.
The first details the story of Skyward Sword, as the origin of Hyrule and the series in general.
The second chapter is a compendium of Hyrule's history across the entire series. The third chapter contains a collection of concept artwork from each game, nicely rounding out the package.
Furthermore, the book will also include a 32 page comic based on Skyward Sword, featuring 8 pages in full color and a story that was edited by series producers from the games.
The book promises to be an essential collectors edition for any Zelda fan. It goes on sale in Japan for 3,255 yen (about $41 US Dollars) on December 21st this year. No news of an English translation of the book has yet been announced.
