Awesome, I knew it was coming but I didn't know there was a nice preorder discount going on. Thanks!

[Multibeaster79]

Saw this on ign today didn't know about release date/preorder. Thx!

[edallasplanet]

Pre-Ordered! Thanks for the heads up

[starscream615]

Just came here to post this. Glad someone already did! Already preordered.

Do you think this will be shrink wrapped? Should I order 2?

[chicagocubsfan]

Awesome

[MoCiWe]

Thanks for posting this, I love me some Zelda and this looks great!

[aramsey1986]

Bought! I am super excited for this!

[Jodou]

Lol, did critics agree on the official timeline or are they still nerding over discrepancies?

Eh, maybe I'll pick this up if it shows up in my quick picks. Would make a good coffee table book.

[DemonsMaster]

Matches my 25th anniversary poster. Looks like a must buy

[Action!]

Big preorder. Thanks, OP.

[nomoregroundhogs]

I would have easily preordered this at full price, but this is amazing.

[waxHead]

Thanks OP! This almost makes up for missing the Borderlands 2 Ultimate Loot Chest preorder.

[sirdudeoi]

awesome find. thanks very much OP

[Zonic505]

Not bad, almost $10 off MSRP. I think I'll get some Amazon credit via Bing, then pre-order.

[technicalstylez]

already have the japanese version, and for anyone on the fence- its an amazing book. looks like ill be picking up the english version as well

[JaytheGamefan]

Definitely in for one at that price.

[Zaku77]

Will be one of the best artbooks ever!!!!!!

[RabbitSuit]

Preordered, thanks.

[valenor the bored]

I have too many art books but I can't say no to this one.

Thanks!

[Socheata]

Already have the Japanese book but will order this anyway. :]

[Gosha]

People should preorder this while you're at it. http://www.amazon.co...words=sky amano

Finally got an official release date.

[Vinny]

Already have the Japanese book but will order this anyway. :]

I have the Japanese one too and am wondering if I should get this one. I can read the translations online but I'm more or less wondering about the quality- not to knock on Dark Horse, but I'm just wondering as to how the Japanese version will compare to the US version.

And I hope that's no the cover. The Japanese version is so much classier.

[Vap]

Already have the Japanese book but will order this anyway. :]

Does it look as amazing as most Zelda fans would imagine?

I had no idea they were making this. I think I'm going to have to get this. Zelda fan + artbook fan seems like a win.

[Friend of Sonic]

*whistle* this looks pretty kick ass.

[SW4J]

Awesome, I can't believe this got an English localization. Pre-order placed, thanks OP!

[proKoyeon]

[Dark_Sage]

Let me know when they release a collection by a decent character designer.

[Kirin Lemon]

You make being awful seem so effortless. It's amazing.

[Knightbloom]

Does anyone know if Amazon charges for pre-orders upon placing the order or do they wait until the product ships?
