- The first 60 pages of the book focus on Skyward Sword. They contain extensive and detailed concept drawings and descriptions of the game world, creatures and characters. They give an insight into the artistic processes which are behind the visual design of the game. The artworks consist of sketches, drawings and colorized images of 3D models. A feast for the eyes! Only the descriptions of the images are formulated somewhat superficial and bumpy.
- The second part (about 70 pages) is devoted to the mythology of the franchise. The chronology of the story will finally be seen, and to recognize the relationships between games. Some items are more closely linked than others, and this part of the book clarifies some questions about Zelda universe. These sites are known artwork to every game illustrated (frontispieces, cards, character drawings, etc.). The illustrations, in particular, the cards would, however, may be somewhat greater calm.
- The third part focuses more on the milestones of graphic games series. The chronology here is based on the year of publication of the Games. The almost 100 pages are filled with beautiful, detailed and large-format artwork for each game. The development of the characters, creatures, items, aspects of the game world and recurring motifs is shown impressively. A Game catalog with all games rounds out this chapter. This part is a treat for any Zelda fan and raises feelings of nostalgia. Here I have nothing to complain about.
- In the last part of the book then there a treat for manga fans. In just over 30 pages the main focuses of Skyward Sword be taken up again. The manga, which contains both black and white and color pages, tells the beginning of the Zelda story, and will stir you to tears.
All in all, this work of art worth every penny, and is a must for any Zelda fan. It is by far the most beautiful art book that has ever crossed my fingers.
