​The cover of The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia, published on June 19, 2018.


Quite a few hours have been dedicated to this Encyclopedia over the last month, in which I have been marking passages and quotes of interest; today, I finally sat down to update my website in light of what was revealed to us. From the cryptic and shocking revelations concerning Majora's Mask to the rather odd details concerning the waters of the Great Sea in The Wind Waker, the Encyclopedia has given fans more than a little to digest. It has been a fascinating read, and definitely the best book in the series of three; it goes a long way in our knowledge of the Zelda  universe, and I think we can finally tip our hats to Nintendo for delivering something of value and interest.

What happened to this post's formatting? I see some words on top of the picture, but it doesn't seem to be a complete post...

I'm not sure. Everything looks fine from both my devices. If it appears odd, I can always re-publish it.

I wish I could link a picture. The picture crosses across the top overcutting the left column. It's got the citing of what it is below it. Above it on the right hand column it has: "The universe of The Legend of Zelda is replete with multifarious" - and then breaks off.

Overwritten on top of the picture are the words Encyclopedia, Majora's Mask, The Wind Waker, Encyclopedia again, and Zelda.

Otherwise, there's nothing else visible.

Well, I've checked everything from my end, and it appears fine. I republished the post, so perhaps that has fixed it. Is everything else appearing normally for you?

Sorry about the formatting issues. I'll try something else if that failed.

Alright, so it looks like it might be due to the browser. At work I use Internet Explorer, and that's where I noticed the formatting issues. In terms of safari and google crome, no issues reading the post.

The encyclopedia is the only book I'm missing. Now I wish it was the only book I had!

    The universe of The Legend of Zelda is replete with multifarious architectural oddities, beautiful and resonating structures, and ineffably-mysterious temples hidden in the remote corners of the world. It is my hope to explore said places, shedding light upon some of their salient features, and fulfilling the goals laid out by the introduction, the main goal of which is to help people understand and appreciate the unspoken, yet deeply-felt, allure of these locations and structures.
