Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia HCMedia Release -- Following the incredibly successful prelaunch event at the Nintendo World Store in New York City, where some fans waited for twenty-four hours in below-freezing temperatures, The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia™ makes its official debut in comic shops and bookstores this week.

Immediately following Dark Horse's initial announcement of the book's publication, fans drove the book to the top spot on Amazon's bestsellers list for books—on preorders alone! Now, on the day of release, this runaway hit again tops the number-one online retailer's list of best-selling books, with copies selling out of comic shops, bookstores, and online retailers around the country!
