THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: HYRULE HISTORIA (review)

Review by Emma-Jane Corsan

Just over 25 years ago a gaming franchise began that changed my life and while that may sound melodramatic, I assure you it isn't. The Legend of Zeldahelped me through a childhood of isolation and bullying. I found strength in the Triforce and the words 'courage', 'wisdom' and 'power' became my mantra throughout my teenage years. In fact, my very first post for Forces Of Geek was all about that.

So it's no surprise that I shrieked with joy upon hearing about the Legend Of Zelda: Hyrule Historia and I was equally excited to be given a chance to review it. I vaguely knew that Nintendo had released such a book in Japan but was unaware of plans for a wider distribution and translation by Dark Horse.

Needless to say, I was over the moon to learn of its impending release and even more excited when pre-order sales for the book knocked 50 Shades of Grey off of Amazon's #1 spot (If that's not a sign that the geek will inherit the Earth than I don't know what is!).

For those of you who were lucky or quick enough, there were only 4000 limited edition books up for grabs, I imagine getting your hands on one now will cost you an organ or two and a hell of a lot of bidding on eBay.
