Dark Horse has #1 Book in America with The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia

Feb 11, 2013

Dark Horse Comics has scored a huge coup with the number one book in the U.S. – I wrote book; not comic, or TPB, or gaming book, but overall book. Covering the entire history of the franchise, The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia is posting huge numbers and has rocketed up all booksellers’ best sellers.

From Dark Horse:

In an amazing show of demand for Dark Horse’s newest hallmark in video game art book history, The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia™ soared to the top of the Nielsen BookScan charts last week, making it the #1 book in America!

In addition, the book has reached #1 on the Wall Street Journal and New York Times Bestseller list. Dark Horse is also announcing a record print run approaching 400,000 copies, with the number continuing to grow as The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia dominates sales in the UK, China, Italy, Spain, and Canada.

This handsome hardcover contains never-before-seen concept art, the full history of Hyrule, the official chronology of the games, and much more! Starting with an insightful introduction by the legendary producer and video-game designer of Donkey Kong™, Mario™, and The Legend of Zelda™, Shigeru Miyamoto, this book is crammed full of information about the storied history of Link™’s adventures from the creators themselves! As a bonus, The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia includes an exclusive comic by the foremost creator of The Legend of Zelda manga—Akira Himekawa!

The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia is a must-have for any Legend of Zelda fan!
