The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia, the Dark Horse published hardcover book detailing the history of The Legend of Zelda series, has appeared on multiple best seller lists including the Wall Street Journal and New York Times Bestsellers.

This week, the book is number one on the New York Times Hardcover Advice & Miscellaneous list , and the Nielsen BookScan charts. Dark Horse is calling it "the #1 book in America," which probably isn't entirely true, but it is doing very well.

The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia contains a massive amount of concept art from all the Zelda games, some used some unused, as well as details about the making of the games, and the much theorized timeline for the series.

Just ordered mine.

Is there a set number of copies that they are making and selling, or is this going to be like regular books that are printed for an indefinite amount of time? (aka, how much haste should I have in buying a copy?)
by Companion Cube Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 02:02 PM

Crap, I forgot to order one.
by Stonecutters908 Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 02:14 PM

I got one and it is great. Any fan of Zelda would enjoy it.
by Boyzby Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 02:18 PM

I still really need to get this, especially since I saw it on Amazon for $20.
by Timothy Repasky Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 02:24 PM

I had this pre-ordered and it did not disappoint. It's a great product for Zelda fans =)
by AshaMan3000 Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 02:43 PM

Mine should arrive tomorrow!
by Zonified Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 02:47 PM

I was lucky enough to grab the limited edition on Amazon and I'm loving it. Definitely get it if you're a fan of The Legend of Zelda.

I got mine last weekend! It's great. :D
by The Oregonian Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 02:56 PM

I preordered it and am actually pretty disappointed. It focuses a TON on Skyward Sword and far less on the old titles that got me initially interested in the series. That's cool and all, but just not what I was hoping for. It'll go on a shelf. Somewhere.

The Timeline alone is what makes this book awesome it makes everything a lot more clear though it does kill many fun conspiracy theories. Other than that the book focuses way to much on Skyward Sword.
by GSWarriorsFan Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 03:26 PM

Aw I really want to get this. I think I will.....but eh I got school....F' IT! I'm buying it!
by VannahfoxTheTriforceWielder Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 03:29 PM

As a die hard Zelda fan, I seriously have to get one soon. :O
by Matt. Yeah, That One. Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 03:31 PM

Glad to be one of those 400,000+
by Solidus Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 03:36 PM

Really need to buy this.
by VinsanityV22 Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 03:41 PM

Always be hatin' Tingle.

Will pick this up. Video game art/coffee table/whatever books are some of the best, most interesting ones there are. I've picked up Halo ones, the Epic Mickey one was excellent, and "Half Life 2: Raising the Bar" - every single one was amazing. Even people who don't like video games are fascinated by these things.
by Phil Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 03:46 PM

I preordered this when gameinformer wrote an article about it releasing here in the states. that was way back in november, but i have my copy.
by The Destroyer Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 03:49 PM

I love my copy-it's so gorgeous...too bad I have...1 friend to show it too. All others are Xbots and PC master races. :P
