Mark this down as things I just recently found out about that now alter my Christmas list. Hyrule Historia is an upcoming joint venture by Dark Horse Comics and Nintendo that outline the history of Hyrule and seem to tackle its history. Relevant snip from the Amazon product page:

"Dark Horse Books and Nintendo team up to bring you the limited collector's edition of The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia, containing an unparalleled collection of historical information on The Legend of Zelda franchise. This handsome book contains never-before-seen concept art, the full history of Hyrule, the official chronology of the games, and much more! The limited edition of Hyrule Historia looks like it could have been pulled off the shelf of one of the sages in Hyrule. The faux-leather hardcover bears the symbol of the Gate of Time, debossed, on the cover, and gold gilded pages. The limited collector's edition of The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia is perfect for the hardcore The Legend of Zelda fan!"

This book will solve many mysteries as its been somewhat of a unknown to how the games fit in with the history of Hyrule. I have read many articles and watched videos but always felt it a bit odd as Nintendo hasn't really officially talked about it much.

You can pre-order the book on Amazon here:

Wanted to share with you a Angry Video Game Nerd segment he did on the Zelda timeline. It was originally not something he originally wanted to release, but later did and I am glad because its quite good.

Is this something you might pickup or have you moved on from the Zelda games?
