“I’m so glad I bought this!”
“If you haven’t got this you need it! This book is GORGEOUS! The pictures are amazing and the guide for the game is just excellent. I was losing interest in the game but this guide has just opened up so much more for me – there are mini games I didn’t know existed and I can find all of the shrines now! I was trying to find help online before but the guides in this book are so much better and easier to follow. I love having it by my side whilst I play and it looks gorgeous on the coffee table. I’m so glad I bought this!”

“The quality of the book is fantastic”
“Informative and appealing! Fantastic guide, everything is mentioned from shrines, korok seeds, information on areas of the map and different characters. Even food and dishes. Quality of the book itself is fantastic, the design and feel of the pages is brilliant. Overall very happy with this buy.”

“This guide is a must-have”
“Awesome guide! Wow, I’m so glad I waited for this guide and pre-ordered it, as it’s the updated one for Breath of the Wild that includes the DLC packs. I’m a stickler for details and this book definitely has it. The colors, chapters, and also the included map are amazing and of high quality visuals. I’m by no means a hardcore Zelda fan, but this guide is a must-have. The binding and production of the book reminds me of a college textbook for a course! The content is very well written and easy to follow for novices or advanced players and has plenty of tips and tricks. The guide is so meaty that it’ll definitely take hours to read from start to finish, but if not, it’s easy to find specific chapters and other references.”

“Stunningly beautiful, information-packed game documentation”
“It’s like D&D meets Nintendo Power! This book was worth the wait! Page after page of insanely beautiful visuals, maps, weapons tables, tips, and it’s all total eye candy. It’s the kind of book that’s so beautiful you want to keep it in perfect pristine condition, but it would be a sin not to naturally destroy it playing the game from start to finish. Here’s the only thing bad about it. Now I know I will never truly finish this game! I wanted tips for one of the battles I am struggling with, thinking I was maybe 75% done, but my battle is on page 60 of this 500 page book. I have a feeling I’m just getting started. This should win some type of book design award. It’s stunningly beautiful, information-packed game documentation.”

“The ultimate guide for Breath of the Wild”
“As with any of the Zelda series, you’re going to run into a few puzzles that straight out stump (and occasionally frustrate) you. With this guide, gone are the days of surfing online tutorials and walkthroughs looking for an answer. This book literally HAS IT ALL. There are chapters of step by step, incredibly easy to follow walkthroughs for absolutely everything in the game- pictures included. Or if you’re like me and need a handy reference guide on where to hunt for specific ingredients, difficult to find shrines, or elusive side quests- it’s all there. Every item , armor piece, or upgrade is documented in this easy to digest guide. Love this book. Perfect companion to BOTW and all its DLC. Oh, and it has a list of all useable amiibos and what they give you, too. Happy gaming!”
