Dark Horse and Nintendo team up to bring Hyrule Historia to America

[Qtis]

These are quite hard to get in England, orders getting cancelled everywhere, Amazon selling its for £35, way too much.

Buy it off of Amazon.com? Going for under $20 there and they should ship to Europe

the 3rd timeline is still bs and a cop out though

I agree, and I don't know what's worse... The fact that it's a cop-out, or the fact that most of the real classics take place on it (aLttP, Link's Awakening, the Oracle games, the NES originals).

That is a good point, does the free delivery still apply?

I have been a huge fan of Dark Horse ever since they began their original Star Wars line back in the 90's. Granted some stuff the churn out is crap, I.E. anything pertaining to the notion that Darth Maul survived being cut in half and falling into the planet's core, but that aside, their comics are generally right on! Looking forward to this!

You can try this : http://www.archonia.com/comicshop/en/article/136355/ , I've ordered mine from here(as well as several other items) and I've never had any problems with them. Shipping isn't free though.
I was lucky though. I preordered it and ended up getting it for 20 pounds, shipping included.

Ah, it works out around £34 after shipping, still I'll add them to my bookmarks, might have something else that I need

Well it's around $27 shipped to Finland, so I'd guess it's around the same or less for UK. That's roughly £17-18 so you're ready to go. If the shipping is too high, then you're better off trying to find it cheap on eBay. If you want my opinion, go for Amazon.com

ok now i'm gonna place this on a shelf and watch it increase in value over the years

does anyone know where to get a book sleeve/protector big enough to put this in ? (to protect it)
i can only find ones big enough for paperback books

Most of the time (or... all the time) you can buy an item from Amazon.com, or any american store...and then the cost to ship it will magically mark the price up to your regional equivalent... or maybe that's Canada.
Example being, I could buy a headset on amazon.ca for $50 + free shipping CAD, or I could pay about $20 + $30 shipping on amazon.com ....what the actual fuck, who believes it costs $30 to snailmail headphones to Canada...ugh.

Usually that is the same for the EU, but in this case, it was almost half price with shipping included

Someone ordered 45 limited edition version and posted an ad on craigslist. Trying to cash on and get something good using rare material. I hate people like that. I hope no one buys from him.

 

[Issac]

I saw it on a swedish site for $32 with free shipping (inside Sweden obv)

 

[ShadowSoldier]

I bought this on Amazon.ca few days ago. 28.30 is came to total with tax/shipping and all that. I'm so excited. Checked eBay it was going for like 50 - 100 bucks.

For all those crying about the timeline in the games should sit their a**es down, it's a rpg game it really doesn't need a timeline all (zelda) games can be enjoyed individually, rpg's tend to have messed up timelines, because they aren't meant to to be put together, or compared, why can't all of us have a simple piece of the cake rather than trying to find out the ingredients? And if you want my opinion I like the fact that a player can pick any zelda game and play through it without worrying about the overall story of "legend of zelda" because each game has its individual place in the series.

I've yet to see a single person whine about anything in this thread, except you.

PS: With the exception of Zelda II (and certain elements of Skyward Sword), Zelda is hardly an RPG. It's more of an action/adventure game, with maybe 1 or 2 extremely minor RPG elements thrown in (upgrading your hearts and occasionally magic meter, for one).

I wasn't whining -_-
Almost all zelda games I've played through really don't need the player to know the story of "zelda" at least so far it doesn't.

Zelda games have gotten more and more story heavy over time. Ocarina of time was probably the last one that wasn't overly story heavy. Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword were all extremely story-heavy.

That said, I agree with you about the timeline. It's "The LEGEND of Zelda" not "the history of Zelda," so it only makes sense that the self-contained tales are going to have some discrepancies between them.

For all those crying about the timeline in the games should sit their a**es down, it's a rpg game it really doesn't need a timeline .

it doesn't but nintendo have made one anyway and theirs is flawed. are we to believe that link lost against ganon in the battle in oot did we see this happen NO it likes saying oh if you get game over it creates the 3rd timeline which is absolutely ludicrous bs.

the third timeline is a cop out by nintendo cos they had no clue how to incorporate the other games in it. as far as i'm concerned the 3rd time is a SPINOFF there are only 2 real timelines the adult and child lines leading into tp and ww.
