    • The most beautiful LoZ memorabilia I own
I originally pre-ordered the standard book, before I even knew this Edition existed. Once I discovered it, I quickly changed my pre-order and began the wait. Today, it arrived and my first reaction was shock at how heavy the package was. Opening everything very carefully, I quickly realized how fortunate I was to have discovered this edition. Pros: Fabric-covered, hardcover book: I have yet to do more than a cursory glance at the pages, beyond the initial opening, but from what I saw, this is the most in-depth and beautiful book ever made about a Zelda game. Hyrule History, Art & Artifacts, and The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia are all excellent, but each of them feels like they were building to this book. Beautiful and very weighty. There is no skimping on quality here. Large, fabric map: This is, by far, the best feeling map I've ever touched. That may sound silly, but if you happen to get your hands on it, you'll know what I mean. Not only is the map artwork itself stunning, but it is huge! Champion's photo: This photo comes in a small booklet, along with a quote from Kass. It brought warm memories of the game and while I was holding it, I felt like a token of love and effort of the designers had been presented to me. Spirit Orb: I don't consider this to be a huge selling point to me, but it is a nice-sized representation of the Spirit Orb and a nice bonus. Cons: Book: The fabric cover is a nice blue right now, but if left exposed, it may collect dust, fingerprints, or smudges. I don't mind this too much, as the whole point of a book cover is to protect the book, but I don't like the idea of it getting too dirty. Maybe I'll invest in a slip-cover or case for it. Map: It is almost too large and I have no place to display it right now. In addition, it is not a standard size, so custom framing is likely the best route, as I can't stand the thought of drymounting or using putty to hold it against the wall. Plus, it is heavy enough, those options may not work. Oh well, time to save up for a beautiful frame! Photo: The photo itself is an odd dimension, and while the cover it comes in fits it well, it seems a bit wide. I will probably have to custom frame it as well, or I could just leave it out, but cracked open. Spirit Orb: Unfortunately, it is completely spherical and I have nothing to set it on at the moment to keep it from rolling around, so I'm not sure I can use it as a paperweight. Overall: There is a reason I put everything back into the decorative box all the pieces came in, and that is I don't want to risk damage or dirtiness while I figure out how to properly and safely display everything. Perhaps for now, I will put the whole assembly on a shelf and figure it out later, but each of these pieces is something I want to be able to enjoy for years. So a couple weeks/months in the box will have to make due until I get around to a more permanent display solution. Again, this is a beautiful book and everything that came with it is well work the extra cost for this edition. I almost feel like I should have paid more, but then I remember I still need to get the DLC and finish BoTW. All-in-all, get this while you can, as scalpers have likely already started buying up as many copies of this as posible. I wouldn't be surprised to see the spirit orb going for more than $20 by itself, and the entire set for more than $200. If you're at all a fan of the series or BoTW, don't hesitate. You won't be disappointed! ... show more

    • Artbook. Not a walkthrough or guide.

Comes with a leathery feeling map (very big) of Hyrule that you can hang if you don’t want to use the in game map every time.. Spirit orb is cool. The packaging on it is great. At $55 I’d say it’s worth it, anything higher I would wait for the price to go back down. There is no walkthrough or help of any kind for playing the game, so if you’re confused by the title, “creating a champion”, remember this book is a coffee table artbook. ... show more

    • Absolutely stunningly beautiful art book, with tons of bonus treasures!
I was so impressed with everything that was included in this box! Not only do you get the incredible art book, and glimpses at some very rare character development and preliminary sketches, but there's more! The spirit orb is absolutely gorgeous, and the special message on the flap in front of it was very sweet. The map is incredible, huge, and even though it's paper, it's very thick, and the front has the texture of soft fabric! Amazing! The photo of the champions with the message from Kass definitely made me cry. I love this so much, and will treasure it forever. It is an absolute "must have" for any Legend of Zelda fan. Thank you! ... show more

I received my package today and it came in perfect condition. My first thought was “wow this thing is heavy”. It comes packaged in a form fitting box and the Hero’s edition is plastic wrapped. Where do I begin. First of all I really like the minimal blue design on this collection. It’s simple, but so nice to look at. The first thing I took out was the glass orb. This thing is really neat. It looks exactly like what you’d hope for when bringing something from the game to real life. If you were to display this orb, it might be a little tricky because it is spherical. I choose to keep mine in the given compartment. The next thing I took out was the envelope with the group photo that is given to you by Kass. So sweet. It’s in a thick high quality cardboard envelope with a smooth texture on the outside. The photo itself is printed on what seems to be photo paper and it is removable. And of course on the left side of the album is printed the message from Kass. Next is the map. I have not unfolded the map yet, but other people in these reviews has stated that it is very large, and I definitely tell that it is quite big. Unfolded it’s a decent size already. The map is printed on a dense cloth material. It feels like suede, even though I know it isn’t. It’s very soft but it doesn’t feel delicate like it could rip easily. The opposite side of the map is a thick poster paper. Which is nice, because if you were to hang your map on the wall I don’t see the thumb tacks being able to damage the corners unlike a lot of posters. Next is the book. Holy crap. This book is amazing. In my option the book itself is worth 70$ at least. The book’s cover is a canvas cloth like material. It’s blue with link on the cover aiming a guardian arrow. This book is chock full of beautiful art. Every page has concept art, rough drafts, etc. it is so neat and interesting to look at. All in all this is a wonderful collection. If you loved BOTW I highly suggest getting this. ... show more
