Comic Review: The Legend of Zelda Art and Artifacts (Dark Horse)

Prepare to be blown your minds for all the Zelda fans out there because of this time, Dark Horse releases another historical collection of Nintendo’s most popular video game The Legend of Zelda which contains all of the artwork and artifacts of all the game series after 30 years since 1986.

This historical timeline book contains with all the artworks and artifacts which were illustrated all the concepts which contain with handwritten notes in Japanese and translated to English right after this book releases its due date. All your favorite Zelda games are here, from the first NES game to right now which is Tri force Heroes. Most of the fans are hyped for the new game “Breath of the Wild” which will be releasing next month, along with Nintendo’s newest console, the Nintendo Switch.

The whole artwork is all originally made from Japanese illustrators and designers. I always got excited when I played one of my favorite Zelda games, but this book is worth finding a real treasure because the Illustrations are well-made masterpiece in all history of Nintendo. The concepts are amazing which it gives so many details and a lot of composition. Even so, as a freelance artist like myself, I always wanted that book, because I would like to learn from the artists who made these illustrations because the artwork and artifacts of the game are beautiful and well fit for a masterpiece.

I’ve been a Zelda fan since I played Ocarina of Time for the N64, somehow it was a great game, despite how many enemies you’re fighting with and stop Ganon from ruling Hyrule and retrieving the all-powerful Triforce of the gods. From all the Zelda games that I’ve played, it amazes me because the story of the game is strong to follow every detail of the game, especially one of the rarest weapons and items that you can find that includes the Master Sword. The Legend of Zelda is a very amazing game and very memorable about this book, even as a celebration of the 30^th anniversary of this game (which is passed last year). But this book is really rare for Zelda fans to have and we hope to see Breath of the Wild next month!
