The Legend of Zelda fans will surely be eagerly awaiting Hyrule Historia, the gorgeous 272-page art book which will feature the official timeline and concept art from the famous series. Its publisher, Dark Horse Books, has now announced that it will be producing 4000 limited edition copies of the book; this edition will set you back $69.99.
The limited edition doesn't appear to contain additional content compared to the standard version, but is presented with a faux-leather hardcover that has a debossed symbol of the Gate of Time on the front; gold gilded pages are also included to top it all off.
This is bound to be tempting for a lot of Zelda fans, so if you're planning on picking this up you can head over to Amazon and sign up for an email alert when it becomes available for pre-order. With it being limited to 4000 copies, we can see this selling faster than a hot deal on Black Friday. If you miss out, however, the standard version is available for $34.99.

I need this, but i don't have the money goes and sells kidney now I'm ready.
Why do these things have to be in limited quantity!? Just sell the books as a different edition!
I think the wife will probably have a spot on the couch for me in the garage if I purchase this book a third time.
I wish I could afford $70 for a book I probably won't even read...
@Popo_Man:
you may be ready, but your body isn't.
Holy crap, I could go buy the first 5 zeldas on the Wii Shop for how much this costs. What's the difference between this one and the regular one?
$70 for a book,that I would never read,bargain.
Nah, I'll get the standard edition. The limited is too expensive.
@3Dash From what I gather, only the cover
Amazon already sold their stock (in the US, at least).
dangit.
Is Amazon actually sold out or have the just not started preorders yet? FYI, Things From Another World has it, though I think their shipping is expensive....

Anywhere in the UK selling the limited edition version?
Those things are going to be worth a pretty penny on eBay someday.
Already have the regular one pre-ordered, but I can just cancel that if I get the LE
I might get this one instead of the regular edition, if I'm lucky...
$34.99, you say? Amazon is currently charging $19.43 for the regular edition. For that kind of stupid price difference, I'm just fine sticking with the cheap one.
i ordered my standard edition months ago, and since there won't be any difference between the two, i'm fine with not paying an extra $30 for a leathery cover.
Pleather and gold painted pages?
Totally worth the extra $30.
i may only order it for additional content, but the features dont bribe me
ugh i wonder how much this will cost lol i already know i can get it really cheap for the regular one in amazon.ca may be tempted to get that one and not have it opened keeping the value really high for the future
Forget it, for me it will be the normal edition. I am not paying $50 more for a fancier outside look. I better put that money towards NSMBU
Not that I'm getting this but a different cover and gold painted pages is not enough to warrant the limited edition costing around $30 more than the standard edition.
