Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in General Nintendo, News | 9 Comments
At the Zelda Masterclass panel at Japan Expo in Paris, it was revealed that more Zelda behind-the-scenes books will be making their way to the West.

It is currently set to be released in September in France, though we’d be surprised if it wasn’t released at the same time in other countries and languages.
