Nintendo

I was surprised that my favourite parts by a long shot were the weapons and buildings details! That's the thing that makes this game unique to me, the pure amount of weapons, components, and attention to detail when it comes to region-specific tools or structures. I'll definitely have a keener eye for their clever details when I play it again!

This didn't have nearly enough character concepts as I'd hoped (it had more breakdowns of outfits and design decisions rather than designs that got scrapped, unfortunately for me - those are what I look at art books for), and Zelda still, stubbornly, sticks to surface-level plot and lore. It was neat to see the different forts and relics of battle, and have the events clearly attributed to locations in the game and how they were affected, but still the 'lore' sections didn't add much at all.

That said it's really worth it for the heaps of new art and thoughtful detail on all the individual tiny pieces that make up the game's visual design.… (mehr)

I like this book for the art, but the text is not to be taken as gospel. It was written by the staff of a fan magazine and not Nintendo themselves, so there are some liberties taken with the material that contradict canon. The most glaring of which (in my opinion) is the idea that Termina is just a figment of the Skull Kid's imagination that disappears once the Majora's Mask game is beaten. Baloney, nothing in the game even remotely suggests this. I don't know if they were trying to reference one of the previous games, or if they were just trying to be cute, but this is nuts and I can't believe Nintendo let them put that in there.… (mehr)
