The Legend of Zelda Art Book Set for February
If you are a Zelda fan and love art books, there’s a new art book in the works for Nintendo’s iconic Zelda franchise. Dark Horse Comics and Nintendo officially announced today that there’s going to be a special new art book for The Legend of Zelda. This is thanks in part to the success of The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia. The new book is titled The Legend of Zelda: Art & Artifacts, and it’s due out in February 2017.
The book will be over 400 pages, and feature fully realized artistic masterpieces, exclusive interviews with the design team for the franchise, pixel art of the series, rare promotional art that’s never been published before and more. The book will also feature art work from the upcoming game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild ahead of its official release.
Nintendo getting some art books published sounds like a good strategy for fans of the Nintendo and Zelda brands as well as collectors. They should do something like this for the Smash Bros. series as well.
The book is now available for pre-order on Amazon and at Random House. You can also check out some preview pages and the covert art for the book in the gallery below.
