Get all your hardcore Zelda knowledge in January 2013.

Hyrule Historia, the official history of the Zelda universe, is coming to North America, UK, Australia, and parts of Europe in the new year courtesy of Dark Horse Comics, as Diamond Book Distributors listed the book for a January 29, 2013 release for $34.99.
The book, originally released in Japan in late 2011, contains the official Zelda timeline, as well as behind-the-scenes features, unreleased pages of manga, and concept and official artwork for the series. This version will be bigger than the original Japanese version.
According to Dark Horse Comics, Nintendo proposed the idea of localizing the book to them, as the two companies have been discussing various projects for years.
More information on the book can be seen at Diamond Book's website.
"The book, originally released in Japan in late 2010,"
I'm pretty sure that this came out last year. Not 2010.
Looking forward to a purchase. It would have been cool if it released in the same time frame as Skyward Sword, but whatever. I expect this to be pretty awesome, anyways.
No, it came out in 2010; December 21, 2010 to be exact.
I just looked it up-- It came out December 21, 2011 just as I thought.
I don't why I ever doubted myself, considering according to this same article, Australia and North America are located in Europe. :-P
You guys really ought to proofread these articles more thoroughly before you post them. Just sayin'...
It was out a whole year before the news of the translation was reported here? If that's really true the gaming press (including you, NWR) should be ashamed...
While we're playing this game, the translation was only just officially announced several hours ago - the conversation was talking about the release of the Japanese version of the book. You know, the one that's in Japan, and not in English... or sold in book stores outside of Japan?
I guess readers should also start proofreading what they say. Just sayin'...
The internet can be a terrible place for sarcasm.
