Day one. Smilie

Am personally curious to see if the fan translations thus far and the official one collide in any way.

I'm definitely getting one of these. That said, I'm really hoping that the quantity won't be extremely limited but knowing how it usually is for things like this, it's hard to imagine otherwise.

They can do limited quantity runs on other stuff like statues or whatever for collectors to go nuts over but this is something I think many Zelda fans would want to have and it would be a real shame if it's going to be sold out right away.

I completely agree with SirLink. I hope they do a significant print run so many Zelda fans can get to enjoy it. It's fantastic that it'll be coming to Europe and Australia too.I'll definitely be getting it.

F***, that's one expensive book, but the art and info inside makes me want to get it. Will have to ponder this over the coming months XD.

Definitely getting this! I was a little jealous there wasn't an English one when it first came out! Smilie

Working like a fiend isn't very fun... and surprisingly isn't very fiendish either.
