The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was one of the best games of 2023. Its sprawling world is filled with secrets–and if you’re looking to uncover everything Hyrule has to offer, you’ll want to pick up the official Tears of the Kingdom strategy guide. And if you typically buy books from Amazon, you will definitely want to choose the hardcover collector’s edition version.
The collector’s edition is available for $27 (was $45), but the standard edition paperback is currently listed for $43. This is rather peculiar considering Amazon had the standard edition for around $20 at various points last year. What’s even stranger is that the standard edition launched with a $30 MSRP. And yet, the price at Amazon for the standard edition has been climbing for several months–and this $43 listing is indeed shipped and sold by Amazon. But you can still grab the standard edition guide for a great price, as Target has it for $18.79. Target also has the collector’s edition for $27.
This all could be a bizarre fluke, but if you haven’t picked up the guide and have any interest at all, the potential price increase, if the collector’s edition follows suit, is worth keeping in mind. At the same time, it’s certainly possible that the collector’s edition version will hover around $27 for months. That said, its all-time low price is only about a buck less, so the chances of “overpaying” at this price are pretty low.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Complete Official Guide (Collector's Edition)
$27 (was $45)
This guide features 496 pages and covers everything you’d need to know about Tears of the Kingdom. Along with a walkthrough of all the game’s quests, you’ll get a look at all the equipment in the game, tips on how to defeat various enemies, a look at all the different game systems (including building vehicles and cooking new recipes), and more. What sets this apart from the standard edition is its gorgeous hardcover design, making it a much more premium option than the paperback.
