    Also coming out in Australia and the UK, so less risk of everybody from around the world jumping on that one like they did for the Japanese edition. This being said, still preordered my copy on amazon.ca.

    I just pre-ordered my copy. A lot cheaper then paying close to $100 for the Japanese version on Ebay.

    $20 bucks, huh? I might look into this myself. There are a few other art books I've been wanting to get that might have dropped in price by now.

    So, who bought it? I preordered it back in August, but Amazon.ca hasn't shipped my copy in advance, so I will only get it tomorrow or Thursday.

    My regular copy came in from Amazon today. Its much bigger than I thought it would be, especially compared to the Japanese version. Its very very nice and well worth the $20 price tag. My limited edition arrived at my local comic shop but he can't sell it until tomorrow.

    I pre-ordered and paid the whole thing in full back in November, but Amazon has yet to ship it out yet. :/

    My copy finally shipped from Amazon.ca today. Even though it fell under the $25 mark since we preordered it in August, shipping was still free. And instead of shipping it via Canada Post, Amazon is using UPS instead, so the book will be at my doorstep tomorrow.

    Nope it doesn't. Besides, even in the official Zelda website, they are shunned by Nintendo.

    Update got the zelda hh book on thursday and it's solid.Plenty of art-work and details beside notes for the people who worked on it.It's a good thing that darkhorse comics was able to publish it,given that the japanese version of it is rather pricey.

    Really? That's a shame. I would have loved a "and now for something completely different" section tucked away somewhere. Still the rest of it looks pretty good, and I'm not normally in to these kinds of things.

    My copy from Amazon arrived today. It's much bigger than I expected... it's almost like a dang history textbook, which is appropriate. Now we just need some hipster to start a college class based on the history of Hyrule. It's got some really detailed stuff in it, and I'm really digging all of the development sketches for all the characters. Some of their initial designs for Fi and Minda are insane!

    Thought I'd add in that my copy arrived with a big crease in the spine, right on the bird crest, because Amazon crammed the book into a box that barely fit it. Thanks a lot, Amazon. :P
