For those craving a deeper understanding of Hyrule's lore, the Legend of Zelda encyclopedias are invaluable.

The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia and Art & Artifacts delve further into the universe, providing detailed analyses of items, characters, and enemies, along with exclusive developer interviews.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Creating a Champion is a comprehensive 400+ page companion to the 2017 game, featuring extensive design and concept art, historical insights into Hyrule, and interviews with key developers.
