Home > English Hyrule Historia is Amazon's No. 1 Best Seller
Hyrule Historia is an encyclopedia for the video game series The Legend of Zelda. Until recently it had only been released in Japanese and many people tried translating it to share it with the rest of the world, but now Nintendo has scheduled the release of Hyrule Historia translated into English. There have been so many Legend of Zelda fans pre-ordering this book it is currently the best selling book on Amazon.com.
For the details on how long it's been the best selling book on Amazon.com, when it'll be released and how much it will cost, you can read on by clicking below.
The English Hyrule Historia is currently the best selling book on Amazon. It has been in the top 100 for three days and has knocked the Fifty Shades trilogy which has dominated the top 100 list for over 150 days off the top spot.
Hyrule Historia is said to be the "Zelda Bible" and is currently selling for $20.99 dollars (that's €17.03 for our european readers and £13.37 for our English readers) when you pre-order it and will ship on it's release date, the 29th of January 2013.
Now, English speakers will get to experience everything Hyrule Historia has to offer, such as the official Legend of Zelda timeline that put an end to the endless timeline theories, "A Complete History of Hyrule," a large amount of concept art and sketches and the Skyward Sword manga written by Akira Himekawa the leading author of the official Legend of Zelda manga series.
I'd like to end the story with a strange thing I noticed on the Amazon.com website. Amazon are listing this book as a "Pop-culture Art" book.
Does it strike you as odd that they listed it as that? What do you think about the release of a Hyrule Historia in English? Are you happy? Are you worried about the translation? What do you think of the price? Will you reach into your pocket for this item? Are you surprised and happy that it has knocked the Fifty Shades trilogy off the top spot of the Amazon.com best sellers list?
We'd love to hear what you think about this in the comments section.
