I bow to you, sirOriginally Posted by Interactive Fiction
I love Zelda strategy guides, and I'm one of the weirdos who actually reads them.
Collecting them is a ridiculous hobby of mine.
Trying to get all the US cover variations for Zelda guides is no easy task.
There are 6 Prima Majora's Mask cover variants alone.
I've got about 45 guides so far (here's some of them + the Hyrule Historias).
This box set was made for me!
If the chest made this sound SOLD!It comes in a treasure chest? Tempting, so tempting.
On one hand, kind of a waste and I'm not a huge fan of Prima guidebooks. On the other, Zelda. Mmmmmh.
If it had guides for Links Awakening, Link to the Past, Majoras Mask then I'd have gotten it. I don't really care much for guides for the DS versions etc.
For me, Zelda is my favorite series of all time but I just don't care about the newer games as much.
Buying the new Link game simply for the fact it's a sequel to Link to the Past.

I get that it's the most recent releases, but funny that the game that probably needs a guide the most (MM) doesn't get one.
Too expensive and missing some key games. I'll be honest though, I'm tempted by the bookmark lol.
Oh, Nintendo you sick fucks...
This looks amazing and I really want it, but knowing how many games it is missing just begs for a better set later with every game in it. I'm going to regret it the second it comes out and is sold out, but I will thank myself in 25 years when the next set comes out.
Preordered, releases around my birthday so I'll count this as a present for myself.
Is it strange that I came into this thread thinking it was about the guide to the Gamecube Zelda Collector's Edition?
Sounds awesome, but $153? I don't even know how many bushes I'd have to whack for that many rupees.
Fuck it, I'm in. It'll either be a cool edition to my collection or an investment for the future.
Why guides though? It would have been better if they were artbooks from each individual games.
Michael Damiani Day One.
Awesome...but expensive.
Thanks for the heads-up, op.
Edit: are these actually going to be signed? These things usually have a printed signature but the description makes it sound like it'll be hand-signed.

To be honest, if it's a printed signature I'll likely cancel. As I said, I'm mainly purchasing this as a collector's item, and a printed signature isn't nearly as valuable.Originally Posted by Charoncaori

Here's hoping it's actually signed. If it's individually-numbered, it's possible. I just hope we don't have another The Sky: Art of Final Fantasy situation again...
i put a pre order in. amazon doesnt charge til it ships so i still have time to decide.
looks cool though

When I first read the thread title, I thought it was going to be specifically for the Gamecube collection and was thinking they're a little late for that...
Though this is pretty cool.

I have the Twilight Princess guide, it is classy stuff. I wish Hyrule Historia was put together as well as it.
Damn that is a pretty nice set. Although I cant help but feel that this release is a bit...random? I mean it just seems so out of the blue.
Either way I'm super tempted...although I currently cannot afford it and Amazon UK doesn't seem to have it up for pre-order but the BookDepository does....and its for around £90....
I hate being a sucker for things that have the words 'Limited Edition'.

Got excited and saw it was Prima.
Pass.
Pass.
I can never pass up a Zelda related limited edition. Pre-ordered.
Lol, pre-ordering the Canadian version spared me the shitty sales tax, so I saved even more, despite the lack of free shipping. Maybe I should be getting everything off the Canadian site?
Might end up canceling anyway, but I have months to decide. We'll see how rare this becomes.

Preordered! I doubt I'll keep it since money's tight, but I still look forward to Amazon inevitably screwing it up like they often do with limited edition items.
wow, this isn't even eligible for Prime. what gives.
Just ordered will reserve judgement till November. The end of the year has a lot of Zelda related stuff coming. Again no Metroid anywhere in site =0(
Just noticed that, strange they are going to rape us for shipping I suppose.wow, this isn't even eligible for Prime. what gives.
are you guys saying there's no free shipping option from Amazon.com? That's weird, looks like Amazon.ca definitely wins this round. Pre-ordered for $129.77 w/ free shipping.

The Legend of Zelda Box Set: Prima Official Game Guide CDN$ 129.77
One of these guides, I forget which(TP?) got a second edition with extra stuff. Are we getting that?
Sexy. But unnecessary.
Annnddd my wallet hates me!
Pre-ordered!
Pre-ordered!
Ewwww. Terrible list.
These are the wrong 6 Zeldas.
Not the choice of games I was hoping to see, but man do I love strategy guides... and this seems like quite the set.
The collector in me really wants this set, even though I would not get much/any practical use out of it. I am glad I got it at the $120 price, but I still have to think about it.
Apparently this is a #1 best-seller atm on amazon.com, lol
edit: ah, only from video game books.

Looks nice, but Prima guides suck so I'm going to pass.
I hope this goes up in europe too, uk plz so i can ship it to my country!
Welp, preordered, even though I NEVER buy guides. Too good to pass up.
