Dark Horse once again does not disappoint, with this beautiful hardcover book featuring 424 large full color pages jam-packed with artwork, design sketches, maps, diagrams, tables, charts, and everything you could possibly want to know about this amazing game. The book is massive and has a nice weight to it, it's even larger than the Arts & Artifacts book (the largest of the three published before it).
It contains a huge amount of artwork, not only from promotional material but of every single character you run into in the game with so much detail and quality given to every page. This book is an absolute steal for it's price and is worth it purely as an art-book alone. It is however not merely an art book but also serves multiple functions. It goes into the design philosophy behind the game, what inspired the team to make it, and has numerous full page interviews with the team discussing their design choices for Breath of The Wild.
It doesn't stop there. Zelda Lore buffs will be delighted to know there's a huge section given over to the background and history of The Breath of The Wild's world including independent history of each race and the preparation and fight against Calamity Ganon both in the past and in the modern age, complete with maps illustrating battle plans and movements, and even specific entries detailing the history behind the multitude of ancient ruins dotting Hyrule.
Character buffs also have a huge amount to love here, with full color illustrations of every main character and detailed background info on many of them and their race.
Let's not forget Items and Monsters, with several pages given over to showcase the wide breadth of Breath of the Wild's weapons and armor sets, as well as the multitude of enemies you will have to fight with them, but not just enemies, it also includes the flora and fauna you can come across.
With even the additional DLC content given loving detail in this book, there is truly no stone left unturned and if you love Breath of the Wild, this companion book is an absolute treasure to add to your collection and well worth it!
Highly recommended!
The first thing I noticed when receiving this book was the weight. It weighs at least two pounds and is surprisingly thick !, there are so many pages to go through and all of them are crisp, vibrant, and not to mention gorgeous !, It has so much content from Mobs, Animals, The different races within the game, Scenery, Outfits, Weapons (including ones used by enemies), Concepts, Lore, and more stuff !
It’s definitely opens your eyes to the amount of care poured into this game, and has given me new enthusiasm for this franchise I love so much. Not only did I buy myself a copy, but also purchased a copy for my cousin and we’ve both been having fun going through this. I’d recommend this to anyone who’s eyeing this, you won’t regret it !

As for the content itself, it's a beautifully created look at all the art for the game, as well as showing the development process and showing what the characters might have looked like and such.
And as a bonus, since I'm a sculptor now, it makes for great reference material for when I decide to make something for the game ^__^
And it's a pretty hefty book too, so it's worth every penny
