- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 June 2021I will be honest I get a lot of collectors stuff from different game franchises. But the size of this book and the quality is amazing Nintendo smashed this one. So much quality and amazing illustrations and so good all items are brilliant the orb is so well designed at £60 well worth it every penny personally this is worth the RRP £70 easily. I am actually a big final fantasy fan and this game has personally been the best adventure game I have played in ages. Out done many games I have played even PS5 titles everything is thought through so well and the enemies are so fun to fight. The content in the set is beautiful. If your a Zelda fan you will love this it’s not cheap but worth it honestly I don’t even take the time to review things but this deserves the review big time. 5 stars is not enough.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 April 2024This set is amazing. I was lucky to get one off here for £60, only £20 more than the normal version. This set is for super fans, the Spirit orb is made of heavy glass and gorgeous, the map is well detailed and intricate. The book offer a great in-depth look at characters, enemies and locations both in the final version and scrapped prototypes.
Not a necessary book, but a truely great addition to the Zelda library
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 June 2024It’s really good quality, and just awesome if you love breath of the wild. Only issue was some adhesive on the drawer that made it stick so was tricky to open. But that was likely to keep it from sliding out and it’d just been sitting there too long, i’ve seen others which open fine.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2019This product is perfect for anyone who considers themselves a fan of The Legend of Zelda. The packaging itself contains lots of neat little hints and references to the game and it's clear that a lot of care has gone into making this particular collectors edition feel special.
The included map of Hyrule has a clothy texture and looks great hung up on a wall, while the 'Champion's Photo' comes on pleasant glossy paper with a well-made protective cover. The Spirit Orb is also great and while it can be hard to see the inner design under dim lighting, when properly lit it looks fantastic.
As for the art book itself, it's a huge collection of amazing artwork with truly interesting notes from the developers that detail their thought processes while they were designing each of the characters, settings and monsters found within the game. Even if you DON'T know the Zelda games all that well, it's still a gorgeous book filled with lively and colourful pieces that are sure to catch the interest of anyone with an eye for art and design, all contained within a hardback cloth cover.
So, in case you haven't realised from all my gushing, I think this product is fantastic and I'm looking forward to many more hours poring over its contents. Highly recommended.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 February 2025The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Creating a Champion Hero's Edition is an absolute masterpiece! As a huge Zelda fan, I was blown away by the quality of this book. The hardcover design feels premium, and the attention to detail is outstanding. It’s a hefty, well-made book that looks stunning on any shelf.
The artwork inside is truly breath taking. From detailed character designs to intricate landscapes, every page is filled with stunning visuals that bring Breath of the Wild to life in a whole new way. The behind-the-scenes content, concept art, and developer insights make it even more special, offering a deeper look into the creative process behind the game.
Whether you’re a long time Zelda fan, an art enthusiast, or both, this book is a must-have. It’s the perfect companion to Breath of the Wild and a fantastic tribute to one of the greatest games ever made. Highly recommended!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 August 2024A brilliant book detailing the making of the game. My son loves it and the extras included are the icing on the cake.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 December 2018If you enjoyed Breath of the Wild as much as I did (a lot!), you'll love this item.
The artwork is amazing, and all the litte details and pieces of trivia shared along the way are really interesting!
I was pleasantly surprised by the map, it was bigger than I was expecting, and the material is high quality.
The Spirit Orb and photo of the Champions are also nice additions. This definitely belongs in every Zelda fan's collection!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2023This book set is AWESOME. Arrived in pristine condition. So much to this set! The spirit orb is cool. I brought this mainly for the photo in this set that is featured in the game. But I am blown away by the sheer content of this collection and the quality of the art. Love this purchase. A MUST for any Zelda fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is perfect for collectors. A high quality product
I've had the opportunity to open two of these collector's editions and the art is really impressive. The content is of great quality and I think every Zelda fan should have it!
- ReasonableSteveReviewed in the United States on 25 March 2025
5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful companion to an all-time great game
If you really love Breath of the Wild, you owe it to yourself to grab this if you can. It's a gorgeous book, and all the included items are a lovely bonus. I adore this thing so much I kept the cardboard box it's shipped in just to keep it pristine (it's very snug and has sufficient padding to keep it in excellent condition during shipping).
