For those seeking a more educational experience, The Legend of Zelda encyclopedias offer a comprehensive dive into Hyrule's lore, culture, and diverse races. The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia, released in 2013, was the first to officially establish the timeline of the series. This book clarified the fan-speculated branching timeline that originated from Ocarina of Time, detailing scenarios where adult Link either defeats or fails to defeat Ganondorf. The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia and Art & Artifacts delve even further into the universe, providing detailed breakdowns of items, characters, and enemies, along with exclusive developer interviews. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Creating a Champion is a hefty 400-page companion to the 2017 game, featuring extensive design and concept art, a historical overview of Hyrule, and interviews with key developers.
