For those who crave a more educational dive into the Zelda universe, the Legend of Zelda encyclopedias are indispensable. 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 that starts with Ocarina of Time—one where adult Link defeats Ganondorf and another where he does not. This lore is crucial for understanding the settings of various games. The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia and Art & Artifacts delve even deeper into the universe, providing detailed breakdowns of items, characters, and enemies, alongside exclusive developer interviews. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Creating a Champion, a 400-page companion to the 2017 game, showcases design and concept art, historical insights into Hyrule, and interviews with key developers.
