Dark Horse is not quite done with the Legend of Zelda series of art books/encyclopedia. Especially since Breath of the Wild was left out of The Legend of Zelda Encylopedia, Breath of the Wild will have the honour of having its own book, titled “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild — Creating a Champion.

As with every Dark Horse Zelda artbook/encyclopedia, Dark Horse has decided that it will be nice to have a special Hero’s edition of the upcoming book. This time the special Hero’s Edition will not only get its own special cover, it will also come with a beautiful glass replica of a spirit orb, a city map of Hyrule, as well as, a heartwarming art print of the Champions’ photo that Link hangs back in his crib in Hateno.

If you’re enticed by the special Hero’s edition, preorders are now open on Amazon here. Alternatively you can also get the standard edition from Amazon here as well.
