Piggyback's Official Guide For Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Releases This June

Pre ordered. The BOTW one was really good.

I really like the maps picking out places to explore.

Pre ordered collectors ed too, the UK link showed the US amazon so had to search for it. Weirdly Amazon UK have it listed twice at 2 different prices.

Yeah, pre-ordered yesterday. Shame I'll have seen the credits by the time it arrives but hey ho.. those korok seeds won't find themselves!

It has to be said, Piggyback do an incredible job with their guides, with detailed, colourful illustrations, maps and every location, recipe, enemy and weapon etc catalogued in amazing detail, so it should definitely be worth the wait for those interested.

I miss the golden age of paper strategy guides and hardbound collector's editions of them.

I've pre-ordered it, just the regular edition. There's always stuff I need help on and these are nice books.

This is one of the prizes in the Tears of the Kingdom My Nintendo sweepstakes. The cover design is amazing! Not sure if I’m going to purchase it, though.

Getting the normal version. May double-dip for the complete edition as I did with BOTW when the inevitable dlc comes out

Why is it releasing a month later though, I would of loved this straight away as by the time it comes out I will of put well over 50 hours into the game.

Eh. It won't be a complete guide anymore once DLC comes. And that's kind of the reason I stopped buying these guides even for collection purposes.

Pre-ordered the Collector's Edition yesterday from Amazon in Canada... for some reason they have it on sale for 37% off so its actually cheaper than the Standard Edition! So happy to finally hear these announced, loved their previous guides.

Wow…I didn’t even think Piggyback were still doing guides. What was the last one they did? I used to buy their guides - as well as Prima guides - all the time. Love a good game guide. Futurepress are probably the best ones right now, though they are few and far between unfortunately. I will buy this guide for ToTK, although I’m not getting the game at launch.

@UltimateOtaku91 *would've, *will have

It's crazy to think that strategy guides are so rare. I preordered it too, but it's sad not every game gets one any more. It's understandable nowadays since you can find guides freely on the Internet anywhere.

I wonder if it will be oversized like the previous one.

Hmm, is Dark Horse doing another set or sets like they did for Breath?
The Creating a Champion/Calamity ones?

@Yosher
I still need to get the expanded version for Breath of the Wild.
How many more pages is it over the standard?

Yep getting the standard. A little annoying it arrives a month later... but it will still be useful for tidying up loose ends in the late game/end game. And it's a nice collectable too.

@Spider-Kev Based on the UK version I see online it is 34 pages more.

Glad the collector's edition is normal sized unlike the BOTW monstrosity, def going to order this one!

Collector’s Edition for me. Will go with the rest of my Zelda guides.

Piggyback probably do the most comprehensive guides, I’m sure this is no different. Although I’ve stopped buying guides these days.

I still have their Wind Waker guide for the GameCube that I bought back in the day, that was excellent and I can’t get rid of it. I even have some of the first guides they did. Silent Hill & Metal Gear Solid on the PS1.

Number one best seller in books right now on Amazon (at least US site). That’s pretty crazy.

There's nothing like the smell of a guidebook, the feeling when the pages get worn from use, the frustration when a cat plops their butt right where you are trying to read. If I wasn't dead set on an organic playthrough, (no matter how flawed or incomplete it may be) I'd get this.

BOTW sat in my backlog for literal years I, played in 2020 I think and before I even played it I knew everything there was to know. I'm not letting it happen again, I'm playing day 1 and stumbling every second of the way!
