Hefty price, but it might end up being limited like the Hyrule Historia Limited Edition.

[Letrico]

Looks fantastic

[Twisted]

does look really cool!!!!..but 1-2 years down the road..we will be seeing at least 2 more Zelda games on the horizon..meaning 2 more new guides...which probably will end up in another exclusive box set..let's face it..if this thing sells well..they will come up with a more shiner, glossier, bigger, better more costly version for the next holiday season.

[Lemur]

I like how they reprint the CE guides then throw them together and force you to buy them all. People missing any of the CE guides would jump on this since the other option would be ebay prices. Genius! :2cool:

There is 2 special thing in this guide. First is the Hardcover guide for Ocarina of time 3D which was never released as hard cover before. Second is the Skyward Sword is 100+ pages more than the initial hard cover version.

Im getting this one since I never own any of them yet haha

[SwiftDeath]

Im getting this one since I never own any of them yet haha

This :)

So glad I never got around to getting them all lol

[Clusks]

Wow, and I was just about to bid for Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass guides on Ebay!

Just went on Amazon UK and it says out of stock instead of the release date, but it still lets you pre-order it for only 55GBP! That's about $83USD.

Hope they don't end up cancelling it on me.

[Letrico]

Awesome find there clusks. Seems like it is the amazon UK first orders dip again. I suspect it will increase later on

[asiak75]

Cheers mate!!!
But I have a feeling this is going to be similar scenario as the Final Fantasy Box Set and Bayonetta Art book.
I would suggest you pre order either form the US or CA in case to ensure you will score a copy...

[kittychloe]

I preorderd mine, considering 2 more to sell for greed :D or birthday presents

[johnymohny]

Hopefully this is no hyrule historia ce amazon situation - can imagine this selling extremely well and for ?55 where can you go wrong :)

Thanks for the heads up.
I'm going to assume it was put up not that long ago in amazon.co.uk since when I originally checked, it wasn't up yet.

After shipping from the UK Amazon, total was about $96 for me.
Still a better

[Cosmic_Link]

Bah! >.< This sucks. :( Just managed to get around to getting myself a hardback TP guide and now this... -_- Quite annoying to say the least. Will still be picking one up, especially at the amazon UK price, but how annoying! >.<

Is there any more info about these though. Do they come with the cloth maps and other goodies that the original prints came with? 0.o

[KnightOfTruth]

Do you think there's any difference in the labels/etc of the UK version vs. the USA version? I'm not a fan of the labels on UK games so just hoping this wouldn't have any of those?

I checked ISBN number with us, canadian and uk amazon sites. They are under the same number, so they must be all same copies.


By the way, amazon.co.uk increased their price to 74.50.

Glad I bit on it earlier

Yeah, in your cart doesn't provide Pre-Order Price Guarantee.
It's only if you actually pre-order.

[SwiftDeath]

Amazon's system is so confused by me

Pre-ordered originally on Amazon US then Amazon CA then Amazon UK

Must be like

i did the exact same thing.... exact same thing bro...

[johnymohny]

Spoke to prima at sdcc today

- all books will be unsealed
- all of them will be using high gloss paper like there new guides - so twilight princess for example will be much thicker
- book is considered 'limited' told me they will be making as many as they foresee being pre ordered, got told they reckon less then 100,000
- all certificates will be numbered
- the chest will be of a high quality, chest is being approved of the developer of zelda series (can't think of name) chest will come with a magnetic strip for a locking mechanism
- they scrapped the idea of having zelda chest theme tune due to annoyance of having to have batteries
- ocarina of time guide has extra features compared to the original std guide

Hope this helps anyone :)

That's cool to know! ^^ Thanks for the info. :D

One more thing though, do the guides come with any of the original items that were in the books with the first prints, Suchas the cloth maps and book mark with PH?

[johnymohny]

Ill let you know tomorrow

[Cosmic_Link]

Ill let you know tomorrow

YAY! ^^ Thanks. :D

[canuckcollector]

amazon.com price is increased again to 161.99, which makes canadian price even more appealing. lol

lol should I shuffle my order around more? :think:

[LyricalOne]

Basically, at this point, there is no point in Amazon.com
It'll probably ship the fastest to me & you, but to me it won't justify the huge price gaps.

I hope you managed to pre-order from Amazon.co.uk Swifty, before they raised their prices that is

[canuckcollector]

I have ca and uk preorder now. I may cancel one towards the release date.

I have standing orders with Amazon.ca and Amazon.co.uk from their original prices :D

Just in case Amazon UK decides to cancel orders like the Zelda Historia CE

[johnymohny]

I'm suprised they haven't included the new link to the past :/

[Matt16]

Same here, hopefully I don't end up with two but a can't cancel either as I don't trust Amazon. Rather have two than none :)

You could always cancel closer to launch although I suppose that wouldn't guarantee you a copy

Debating about using an expiring credit card to keep the pre-order but let me cancel whenever I want even after the fact

Thought about that, maybe wait for one to change to depatching soon and cancel the other. But the UK one is cheaper and if the CA ships first I could miss the better deal :shrug:

The credit card idea isn't bad but I did that last year with Farcry 3 but it looked like they oversold it (like they always do) so when my payment didn't go though, all of a sudden they didn't have a copy for me anymore. It took 5 weeks of ranting and then I somehow ended up getting one. So I'm wary of that now :(

Its not the worst problem to have I suppose, at least if I end up with two if anyone here misses out I have a spare :shrug:

Yep I don't trust Amazon anymore

I imagine they should ship on the same date and just have placeholder dates for now

Yeah may just get both and not do the CC thing or update it when time comes

Not the worst problem for sure :)

[johnymohny]

No surface maps (said its a pain to make them and it will be too big to fit in and could damage the books if put in the chest)
Wind waker will get released by itself as well.
New link to the past was announced a week after making the prototype of the chest, so it missed out. The game guide will get a limited edition release.

Heard this elsewhere to but no real confirmation

No maps or bookmarks :(

Still it's supposed to be numbered out of total I think which is good

Signature must be a copy though

Signing thousands of time :swoon:

[johnymohny]

Signature is a copy was confirmed to me

[SwiftDeath]

Signature is a copy was confirmed to me

Thanks

As expected then

Any idea on the numbering?

Will it have the total produced on it as well?

[johnymohny]

by the looks not - I did ask them will it have a total number out of, they said no.

I did suggest a cool idea and total up the amount of chests found within the 6 games and limit to that number :) and create a scroll chest to put the 6 surface maps in - acting like a dungeon map :)

[comaamen86]

i dont think this will be massively limited if they are going to cover all pre orders and then some

[canuckcollector]

amazon.com lowered the price to 116.99. I've never seen amazon stores fluctuating the preorder price by so much in short time. wow.

Lol they're fighting each other to get your pre-order :P

Got an email today to say the release date will be 29th November!

[Likey]

amazon.com lowered the price to 116.99. I've never seen amazon stores fluctuating the preorder price by so much in short time. wow.

I just got it for $107.99 because the UK site decided to charge the max price of 119.99GBP. :(

I saw the pre-order for 74 then 78 and then 86, now it isn't available to pre-order anymore.

No way!!! 0.0 That makes it a fantastic deal for all those who got the pre-order at 55GBP. Less than half price. :v:

lol that's actually a little nicer than I expected

Must have low expectations

Bookmark looks very nice

[johnymohny]

The bookmark is very nice - but the box itself looks like cheap cardboard, I was hoping for a cheap type of wood.

also on game.co.uk listing it states -

Please note: This item is only avaliable to pre-order until 11th October 2013.

And it comes out november 26th

So I think it could be cut off point for this being made to order only. Just a theory

[canuckcollector]

http://www.amazon.ca/Legend-Zelda-Box-Set-Official/dp/0804161380/

Amazon.ca now list this at $78.28. Got my preorder price adjusted.

[KnightOfTruth]

Wow, thought mine ~$100 was good, but that's a steal! Mine says it should arrive today though, so no more price-adjusting for me.

[LyricalOne]

I got mine on on friday after thanksgiving. I still haven't opened it lol.

It does pack a nice weight to it.

[KnightOfTruth]

Was debating whether or not to keep it sealed, but I just HAD to see the CoA and see what # I got -- really surprised that it was 40,0xx/50,000 seeing as how I ordered it relatively early. Guess amazon.com had a later batch? Super happy with it though - the box seems like decent quality to me and it packs a huge weight for such a small box!

[Likey]

Mine arrived earlier this week, it's at work and I still need to carry it home but it is definitely big and a little heavy.

The outer brown box states what the item is inside and even has the price on it which is a little strange.

Hopefully there isn't import tax on this item, wish me luck.
