A review by telthor
The Legend of Zelda: Art & Artifacts by Nintendo
3.0
Well.
It sure is a thing.
It's just a collection of pictures from the series from start to finish--and it's basically all completed artwork and official promotion pieces. There's no concept art, there's no artist comments or explanation, no rejected characters or ideas. Just polished, polished, polished.
I guess it's kind of nice to have all the official manual art in one place, especially for some of the older games, which had pictures I've never seen before--but only because I haven't looked for them. All these pictures can be found online with little effort.
It's nice that it goes from beginning to Breath of the Wild, so it's very up to date, and the interview in the back is all right.
So, it's a coffee table book to flip through once and then ignore, basically. It's just another piece to add to a Zelda collection, but has no new information or real merit.
