For those seeking a deeper understanding of Hyrule's lore, culture, and diverse races, the Legend of Zelda encyclopedias are invaluable resources. The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia, released in 2013, was the first to officially establish the game's timeline, addressing fan theories about a branching timeline stemming from Ocarina of Time. This book explores two potential paths: one where adult Link defeats Ganondorf, and another where he doesn't.

The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia and Art & Artifacts further enrich the universe with detailed breakdowns of items, characters, and enemies, along with exclusive developer interviews. For fans of the 2017 game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Creating a Champion offers over 400 pages of design artwork, concept art, Hyrule's history, and interviews with key developers.

While the internet has transformed how we access game guides, older strategy guides from publishers like Prima Games and Brady Games have become coveted collector's items. However, for the latest addition to the series, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a comprehensive nearly 500-page official guide is available for the Nintendo Switch. This guide covers everything from Korok locations and cooking recipes to dungeon solutions and boss fight strategies. While similar information can be found in IGN's online guide, the physical collector's edition is a prized addition to any Zelda fan's bookshelf.
