Original (2/2): Hyrule Encyclopedia was revealed as the second entry in the Zelda 30th anniversary book series last month. Now Amazon Japan has shared the cover, attached above.

The book has 320 pages. It covers 50 keywords in-depth, over 2,000 items, enemy characters, and more, plus explanatory notes and storylines of each game.

Amazon Japan lists Hyrule Encyclopedia for March 1. However, we can confirm that this is an error, and it’s actually due on February 28.

First 4 Figures is just a few weeks away from bringing out its new figure for Link based on his appearance in Breath of the Wild. Thanks to Pixel Dan, we have another good look at it below:

Reader KobobKC has also informed us that Best Buy has changed the release date of the figure. It was previously listed for early March, but now has a release date of February 27. Hopefully that sticks.

This week’s episode of Nintendo Minute has gone live. In today’s episode, Kit and Krysta share their experience at Defenders of the Triforce. Check it out below.

The Legend of Zelda is a big part of First 4 Figures’ product lineup, so it’s no surprise that the company has more figures planned.

In an interview with Zelda Universe, the company teased more additions to the Twilight Princess line. Along with Trueform Midna, it sounds like we could be getting a 1:4-scale statue of Link.

The new Breath of the Wild Link statue due out within the next few weeks also comes with a leaflet teasing two figures. Silhouettes appear to show Link riding a horse and the Sheikah Slate.

The Legend of Zelda 30th Anniversary Concert album is heading to Japan on February 15. It’ll be published as both a limited edition item as well as a standard release, both of which can be pre-ordered and imported from Play-Asia here and respectively.

In the latest issue of Nintendo Dream, the set list for the album is revealed. Pretty much all of the songs from the actual concert are included as expected, though with a couple of exceptions. The Zelda: Breath of the Wild main theme and Kakariko Village are apparently absent (from the “Encore” part of the concert).

You can find the full set list below.
