Japanese special editions of Hyrule Warriors Legends included a rather cool Character Art Book, featuring concept designs, original artwork, and descriptions of the game’s many warriors and weapons. As the wait for HWL has moved closer to its March 25th release, fans in the US were left to wonder if they’d see this art book released outside of Japan. Luckily for us all, GameStop has officially announced that they are offering a 16-page, soft-cover edition of this character art book with preorders of Hyrule Warriors Legends.

GameStop offered this description of the art book:

“Pre-purchase the Hyrule Warriors Legends game, and receive a special-edition, soft-cover, 16-page character art book exclusively at GameStop.* Learn more about key characters and view concept art for warriors and weapons, including the new hero Linkle and her mysterious compass – along with Toon Link, Tetra, and King Daphnes, who sailed across the Great Sea to save the world from evil!”

This preorder bonus may not be quite as sweet as the hard-cover edition that was available in Japan, but it is cool that fans in the US get a chance to see the original artwork inside.

Physical and digital copies of Hyrule Warriors Legends are currently available for preorder on GameStop’s website. The art book will ship alongside the game on its March 25th release date.
