The impending The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Collector’s Edition art book has been leaked online. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom isn’t due out for a few months, but fans of the brand are eager to learn everything they can about the game. Nintendo has been unexpectedly secretive, though, reserving the game’s numerous surprises for players to uncover at launch. This latest leak provides the most detailed look at what to expect in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to yet.
The art book in question is not sold separately. Nintendo announced a Collector’s Edition for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom as part of the Nintendo Direct in early February. The package costs $129.99 and includes a Steelbook, a poster, a pin set, and the aforementioned art book. The Collector’s Edition is expected to ship the same day as the ordinary version of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, therefore this is a huge leak of an unreleased product.
The art book for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been photographed and shared online. It’s unknown where the book comes from, but fans of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or the Zelda franchise in general will be relieved to know that it doesn’t contain any particular facts about the game’s plot, open world, gameplay, or mechanics. While all of the photographs in the art book are undoubtedly spoiler information, there isn’t anything substantial enough to make Zelda fans hide for the next three months.
Plenty of unlabeled concept art is featured in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom art book. The art focuses on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s locations, enemies, NPCs, weapons, and armour while avoiding all non-general spoilers. Most of this has previously been seen in Nintendo’s early previews, but there is also much that is brand new.
The finer details of what’s given in the art book will be a focus for ardent The Legend of Zelda fans who aren’t concerned about spoilers. While the art book itself may not contain any important discoveries, fans may use it as a puzzle book to hypothesise about greater aspects of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It’s not impossible for a fan to figure out the whole narrative of the game before it’s released.
It seems that Nintendo had foreseen potential issues with the art contained in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s art book. Even if it didn’t leak to the public, stores would have access to the art book prior to the official release of the game. As a precautionary measure, the content within the book was likely curated to avoid revealing significant spoilers deliberately. Nonetheless, the art book remains a valuable addition for Collector’s Edition customers, as it still offers a wealth of captivating information and stunning artwork, ensuring an enjoyable experience without compromising the game’s surprises. Nintendo’s thoughtful approach to this aspect of the Collector’s Edition ensures that fans will find plenty to appreciate within its pages.
