The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the KingdomSuccessor from 2017 breath of the wild, will be out soon. And while there’s a big slick collector’s edition of the sequel, containing a bookNintendo is taking the time to revisit the original this week and is releasing a book titled for free The Explorer’s Guide
It needed be the crux of the special Explorer’s Edition of the gamebut with breath of the wild
As igamesnews reportNintendo has published the book as a pdf on their company website, and you can read/download it here. It is in order? I mean it’s your typical limited edition filler as it isn’t useful enough to be a true guide, there isn’t enough art to be an art book and it isn’t specific enough to be the game’s manual to be.
It’s still a nice little thing to flip through after all these years though, oddly enough the whole book wasn’t uploaded. For reasons only known to Nintendo, pages 73-84 are missing, an omission that is not made for plot reasons as there are spoiler warnings on those pages did make the cut (If you have this 2017 book at home and can tell us what’s on the pages that would be great!).
If you want to take a look, note that most of the book is devoted to explaining the general concepts of breath of the wild Open-world design for newbies so might not be the most interesting thing you’ll be reading today, but the intro section is still fun, if only because Nintendo had to try and fit the series’ convoluted timelines and history into it bring a few short pages!
