I don't understand the appeal of this really.
Congrats to those of you that do.
I guess it's because I dont do any collecting.

As someone who's bought the 4 of these that were released separately, I'll be very annoyed if the WW and OoT guides don't get separate releases.

Totally agree.
This box has 4 of the 5 3D Zelda games covered.
If it had Majora's Mask, I'd be ecstatic.
It's still my favorite Zelda game.
The one game that probably needed a guide. ROFL. Then again I guess the game itself does have a guide of sorts. lol.

I love the Legend of Zelda series; but I feel that I am not the demographic for this product. If it were a complete collection of the manga series in hard cover with an extended version of Hyrule Historia inside of a treasure chest with some sort of exclusive statue, I would pre-order this.
It's on Amazon UK - I got my preorder in earlier when it was £55.48.. but seems it's £74.50 now.
Thanks man! Preordered!

Tempting, but I'm getting a PS4 probably that same month.

I'm sure the Wind Waker guide will get a separate release, but their press blurb makes it clear the OoT one won't:
"For the first time ever, The Legend of Zelda™: Ocarina of Time 3D guide is available in hard cover and exclusive to this box set."
In the future, that hardcover OoT guide will be the most valuable part of this guide set.
wow, amazing price
even £74.50 is pretty good
feeling less spoiled by amazon.ca all of a sudden!

Bought. Perfect Christmas present for my son. He's played through every mainstream Legend of Zelda game released except the CDi crap... Paid a pre-release price of $129 on Amazon.ca

If the 6 zeldas contained in this were the nes games, lttp, the two n64 games, and links awakening, this would be a spiffy collectors item. But the ds zeldas? Hell no they don't deserve the timeless collectible treatment.
heads-up Canadians:
Chapters has it listed now for $129.15 (about 60 cents less than Amazon.ca). More importantly, they also have a promo atm where you can get $5 off any purchase over $25. Use promo code "5off".
Not a big difference from Amazon.ca, but it's something.

Good to know I'm not the only Zelda lunatic.
It's my all time favorite game series. The undertones of morals and ethics in the game connect to me in ways other stuff just doesn't.
I am a pretty big Wii U hater but the wallet is likely getting opened up this fall for Wind Waker HD.
My 3DS: Zelda edition. Holding out on preordering Link Between Worlds because I just know they're going to have a bundle for it with a 3DS XL.

I love Zelda strategy guides, and I'm one of the weirdos who actually reads them.
Collecting them is a ridiculous hobby of mine.
Trying to get all the US cover variations for Zelda guides is no easy task.
There are 6 Prima Majora's Mask cover variants alone.
I've got about 45 guides so far (here's some of them + the Hyrule Historias).
This box set was made for me!
You must know the games forwards and backwards!

$116.99 now and prime shipping is available when you checkout.
Book is cheaper in US than Canada and the world makes sense again
I'M IN!!! christmas present to myself
Yup. Best guide ever:
I pre-ordered this, though I'm not sure why. I already own the Twilight Princess hardcover, even though I don't really love that game, or the DS games, or Skyward Sword... curious how they're going to add 100 pages to that game. Not sure how that's even possible.
I guess I'm getting this for Wind Waker and OOT 3D...

$117 is a much more fair price. I'll have to think about it.
Preordered at Amazon UK but still pretty pissed that the OoT guide is exclusive to this set.
I already have all of the releasd hardcovers in mint condition and I love collecting them. I'm proud to have bought them all when they were first released. And now they're like "lol thanks for the support, now buy them again or you'll miss out on this one thing you'll want tol but we're not going to sell seperately!". Just release the OoT guide seperately too and only make the Aonuma signature exclusive to the chest or something. And do a promotion like when you register all your guides you get the chest sent to you, like Nintendo did with the Professor Layton box set.
But I guess I'm part of the problem because I'll bite anyway... Sometimes I condemn myself for being such a Zelda junkie.

Mmm. It's a tad expensive, but it's Zelda. And limited edition. My two weaknesses! -preorders-

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
So apparently the signature is as we expected, reproduced [not hand-signed].
I'm still likely to purchase the box set, but the fact that we're not getting an authentic autograph is kind of disappointing.
Bummer. Where'd you see that, btw?
It was posted on Amazon. Apparently a user sent Prima Guides and email and they replied back.

Hi,
Thank you for your interest in our product. It is a reproduced signature.
Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
I should have expected this, considering how many copies they seem to be selling, but even still...
Doubt it, saddly.
yup, go ahead!
