My Hyrule Historia Just Arrived! Some Differences: (Updated)


This is my personal copy and the other 2 that I bought as prizes for the Zelda Fanart Calendar Contest I hold every year: Check out the calendar we made this year. And come back soon to find out what the next one will be!


And they're GOOD differences. Anyone who likes the art will love this.

#1 Yes, it is quite a bit bigger. Here's a comparison with the Japanese version:


#2 My hopes came true: THE PRINT QUALITY IS BETTER! Only slightly, but it's still more clear. And yes, the images are larger. (I had already pointed out how that was going to be the case, but in case you missed the post I made about that ages ago, consider it confirmed ;) And, if you know me, you know what this means.

(Also, this is not the best picture. When I do a comparison review tonight or tomorrow I'll have better images.)


#3 Here's the edge of the book. It's not a big deal but, I don't think I've seen a picture of that yet, so I wanted to include it.



Mine came from Amazon, I have Prime: it was the 2 day shipping. The TFAW order is where my LE will hopefully come from, it has not shipped yet. And, like I said, I'm going to go do a write up and make some better images as soon as I can :)

(SO EXCITED! /Dies. It's like a dream!)

Small update I promised a few people: I just got the email from TFAW that says they'll be shipping soon. Both the regular and Limited Edition versions. Could be going out in 1-3 business days.

  1. Just got mine from Amazon today too. Seeing the comic in the back made me check the artist on my now decade-long wallpaper, which lead me here.

  2. Are you serious? That's just so amazing to hear! Thank you so much for telling me that, even with the book arriving, your comment might have actually been the best thing of the night. Was it one of the old manga ones I made? Or a fanart one? But, yup! I'm back after slumbering for 7 years (in the Chamber of Sages? lol) In an odd but wonderful twist of fate; I relaunched the site just a few hours before the Hyrule Historia news broke. Kinda fateful I guess :) You've been to the main site? It still doesn't have the artwork or content it should, but I'm working on getting there. :)

  3. It is one of the old manga ones: Link on a cliff. I had to mirror and warp parts of it to try to make it widescreen though. I even use it as my phone wallpaper. http://goo.gl/y6B0R

    I've only just been to the site post-relaunch yesterday, but it looks very nice. ^^
