With just under three weeks to go until the publication of the English version of Hyrule Historia, excitement over the long-awaited book is steadily growing across the world. The demand for the Limited Edition of the book has been so overwhelming that according to some customers, many pre-orders were cancelled due to extremely high demand for a book very limited in quantity. In response to this hype, the Nintendo World Store in New York has announced that it will be holding a Launch Event on the 25th of January to commemorate the release of this landmark publication. Hit the jump to find out more!

Not only will the Standard Edition of the book be available to purchase on the day (which is four days before the official launch of the book) but it will be the only location in North America to also have the rare Limited Edition available to purchase as well. In addition to this, fans will also get the chance to participate in a costume contest, along with other Zelda-related activities for fans to enjoy.

The pre-orders for the book are on a first come, first serve basis so you’re recommended to get there early if you wish to purchase a copy for yourself. The event will be held at the Nintendo World Store in New York City between 6pm and 8pm EST, so make sure you get there early to avoid disappointment.

But what do you think? Are you going to be attending to get your copy early? Are you perhaps disappointed that you won’t be able to attend if you’re too far away form New York? Tell us in the comments below!
