Apparently, a retailer shipped out a book of art that is supposed to ship with the game, and may or may not have shipped out the game itself. I wondered if anyone else here is following this. The link to the photos I saw yesterday is gone, but I’m sure they can be found somewhere. ---

It’s an artbook that’s meant to be available with the game, so there’s no real spoilers from what I’ve heard. All the mobs in it have already been showed in various trailers, for instance. ---

It’s probably helpful to mention in the thread topic that this is an upcoming Legend of Zelda game. ---

I guess. I would have expected anyone who would be interested in getting a sneak peek to already know that. As for whether there are spoilers - it’s nothing huge, but we do get to see outfits, new enemy designs, and locations that weren’t in the trailers. ---

I’d suggest heading over to YouTube when you get a chance, then. They’ve already released some official teasers and trailers. ---

I appreciate that. There have been so many gems in this franchise, I am extremely curious about this one. 😃 ---

As this site is made up from a diverse group of weirdos with many niche interests but finite brain space, a little bit of extra explanation to save us a Google does not go unappreciated. ---

My takeaway is that this is indeed, a full game sequel. Tons of new things in it and I have no concerns. I pre-ordered this game June of 2021 and can NOT wait. ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > My takeaway is that this is indeed, a full game sequel. Tons of new things in it and I have no concerns. Agreed. I heard some theories that this was going to be more of a glorified DLC, and it was good to see that be laid to rest. As an aside, it’s a bit sobering to realize people who were born the day I signed up are fully-fledged adults. ---

> [@Omega\_Glory](#): > > Agreed. I heard some theories that this was going to be more of a glorified DLC, and it was good to see that be laid to rest. Basically, they are using the main map from Breath of the Wild, but drastically altered and with a lot of new areas, like Sky Islands or caverns that go underground. It’s a completely new game taking place in the same Hyrule after major changes happened to it. I’m excited and the artbook was non-spoilery, but did get me more excited. ---

I used google translate’s camera to look and there are no major spoilers in the Japanese. This is the pre-order bonus, I guess, so they made sure it just showed some art without much explanation or context.
