Update (7/19): Down to $117 now. If you already pre-ordered, you should automatically receive the lower price.
The Legend of Zelda Box Set: Prima Official Game Guide will be releasing in November, according to a listing on Amazon.com.
This will be an extremely limited release – it will only be printed once, and will then be gone forever.
Now, let’s go over what the package contains: six hardcover collector’s editions for Ocarina of Time 3D (in hard cover and exclusive to the box set), Spirit Tracks, Phantom Hourglass, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword (revised and expanded by over 100 pages). All guides will feature gilded edges, and will come in a unique Zelda-themed box held together by an embedded magnetic clasp.
The last two items could be the most interesting for fans: a numbered certificate of authenticity signed by Eiji Aonuma and a 2-sided laser etched metallic bookmark.

All of Nintendo’s online services are experiencing technical difficulties at the moment.
