(Sentence is fishy, I doubt they were "leading" anything when they just got started in 1990. That's the problem with original research. Also, remind me to make an infobox for comapanies.)

Revision as of 17:37, 18 November 2013

Prima Games, an imprint of Random House LLC, is the leading publisher of officially licensed strategy guides, established in 1990[1]. Prima was selected by Nintendo to provide the official strategy guides for their games, including The Legend of Zelda series (as of Phantom Hourglass), after Nintendo Power ceased publication in 2007.

Official Strategy/Game Guides

Prima Box Set

The Legend of Zelda Box Set

In addition to their standard guides ("Premiere Editions") and their eGuides, Prima has released "collector's edition" guides for most of the newer Zelda games starting with Twilight Princess. These guides feature hardcovers, gilded pages, and bonus items such as maps and bookmarks[1].

On November 26, 2013, Prima will release a limited edition box set celebrating the legacy of the series. It includes 6 collector's edition guides spanning all the Zelda releases from Twilight Princess to The Wind Waker HD, along with a Treasure Chest book holder, a gilded two-sided bookmark, and a certificate of authenticity signed by Eiji Aonuma[2]. This is the only time Prima will release an Template:OOT3D collector's edition guide; it is an exclusive for this box set[3]. It also includes a revised and expanded Skyward Sword guide with over 100 pages of new content[4]. The box set has a suggested retail price of $152.99[2].
