Get Your Hands on The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia Next Year

Hyrule Historia is a massive encyclopedia chock-full of The Legend of Zelda information, history, and concept art, as well as containing the official series' timeline. It was released in Japan some time ago and it seems that we lucky Zelda fans in the U.S. will be getting our own release. According to a Diamond Book Distributors sales kit (that is seemingly unavailable now), book publisher, Dark Horse, plans to make the encyclopedia available in the U.S. on January 29, 2013. Here's the product description:

"Dark Horse Books and Nintendo team up to bring you The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia, containing an unparalleled collection of historical information on The Legend of Zelda franchise. This handsome hardcover contains never-before-seen concept art, the full history of Hyrule, the official chronology of the games, and much more! Starting with an insightful introduction by the legendary producer and video-game designer of Donkey Kong, Mario, and The Legend of Zelda, Shigeru Miyamoto, this book is crammed full of information about the storied history of Link’s adventures from the creators themselves! As a bonus, The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia includes an exclusive comic by the foremost creator of The Legend of Zelda manga — Akira Himekawa!"

Hyrule Historia is hardcover and 272 pages long. The best part is that it plans to sell for a modest $35. I can't wait to get my own copy!

Will you be purchasing a copy of Hyrule Historia when it comes out?
