Dark Horse, the publisher of The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia in North America, is changing the art book’s cover.

Take a look below.

Dark Horse editor Patrick Thorpe explained the decision to change the cover:

“This is the official cover for the North American version of The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia. The logo and gold colored design elements will be gold foil stamped. The large symbol on the cover is the Gate of Time from Skyward Sword. We felt that it was appropriate for a number of reasons. Hyrule Historia is a history book, not only about the development of the games, but the history of Hyrule as well. We wanted the reader to feel like they were stepping through the gate, back in time, and experiencing all aspects of the Legend of Zelda. As keen-eyed Zelda fans will tell you, the three symbols surrounding the triforce are the symbols of the three goddesses who… well, I’ll let you read the book to find out their signifance. But we loved the gate’s symbol because it is fraught with meaning, much of which is explained in different sections of the book, and appear again and again throughout the series. One of the other reasons is that there are Skyward Sword sections that bookend Hyrule Historia. It felt appropriate to put a symbol from the 25th anniversary game on the cover. I hope that you all like it as much as we do.”

What do you think about the updated image? Like it? Hate it?

Walmart is selling Kirby’s Epic Yarn for an incredible price. The Wii game is available for just $8.40 at the moment.

You’ll have to pay tax and possibly shipping (if you don’t choose in-store pickup), but it’s still a great offer.

Arguably one of the Wii U’s biggest weaknesses right now pertain to loading times. It takes quite awhile to boot up… well, pretty much everything. Switching between applications can take awhile. Even loading up a game isn’t the fastest.

Nintendo is aware of the long loads. It sounds like this is something that the company will be looking to improve going forward, at least.

According to Nintendo’s customer service site:

“We are aware that users are experiencing load times when they launch or switch between applications. We are exploring ways to enhance features for consumers’ overall experience.”

Some Wii U users have also been having issues with freezing and crashes. Nintendo advises the following:

Instances of system freezing are rare and unlikely to occur. If your system has frozen unexpectedly, do the following:

Reset your system by unplugging it from the wall for 10 seconds.
Ensure your system is kept current with available system updates (How to).
If additional assistance is needed, please contact us at 1-800-255-3700.
