How can I order this? Do I need to make an Amazon.co.jp account?
Yes. But it has an "in English" link (in the upper right) which switches many of the forms to make the process easier. The ordering procedure is generally the same Amazon.com's.

So people have more time to argue the more important things like voice acting, right?
Great.
If by more important things you mean Sheik's gender then sure!
The debates will be about how the official timeline can't possibly be right and Nintendo just forgot that Ganon was sealed during that game so he couldn't have been able to manipulate that guy to do that thing, therefore this game ACTUALLY takes place after that other game.
Hm, that's not really the idea I was trying to express. Even if I was dressing up to assume the role of someone who wasn't pre-established and they were a girl, that new character would still be a girl while the person playing that role would be male
If Nintendo is going to release the timelines they might as well put it up on their website. People are gonna translate it and put it online in a second. I also think you guys should put your best guesses in this thread so we can see how closely it matches to the real thing.

I don't believe this timeline will be in an official context. It'll be "The Timeline (According to the best guesses of the editors of this book)"
Damn. Nintendo should have just trolled for the timeline with a "who gives a shit".
So, according to that site that goes....
The table of contents is something like:
History of Hyrule
~Finally Revealed, The Genealogy of the Legend~
The Timeline of Hyrule, Kingdom of the Gods ..68
The Legend of Gods and the Hero of Time .70
The Downfall of Hyrule and the last Hero ..92
The Twilight Realm and the Heros Descendant 110
The Hero of Wind and the New World ..122
"Last Hero" that isn't the "Hero of Time"?

When is this going to be released in the USA?
Haha!
Probably sometime around never.
NA is Zelda's biggest market.
It's complete, 100% bullshit if it doesn't get released here.

That's right. This is no laughing matter

Well in the Adult Link timeline, Oot Link IS the last hero before Hyrule is flooded and never returned to again
Pretty sure that was nearly everyone's theory
Ooh interesting. That Last Hero stuff is definitely new, I'm guessing that relates to the flooding of Hyrule before Wind Waker. That aside the actual timeline itself isn't new. It only covers the 3D console and DS games which is the timeline we already knew. Guess that confirms my theory that there is no single cohesive official timeline and the only connections are the ones hinted at in the games themselves.
"The Downfall of Hyrule and the last Hero
..92"
Am I missing something? Judging by the titles, the part before that is about OoT, while the part after that are about Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. So, what is this one about? It can't be 18 pages of what lead to Hyrule being flooded, can it?

I think it's just referring to Adult Link from OOT.

I always find that whenever making orders from Amazon Japan, always order as much as you can to make the shipping fee worth it. They ship express if it's an international order no matter what, btw.
It's $30 in shipping fees to Ontario (around the GTA) from my previous experiences with them, for instance. Pretty expensive.

A lot of Zelda merchandise is only released in Japan. It would surprise me if this was released in NA, actually.

Won't stop picking the right nation
I'm torn between my hopes that this will appear in English and the possibility that this is the only chance I'll have to buy it. I could appreciate it as a collector's item but have no desire to get it in a language that I can't even read.

Except for that making absolutely no sense...the first chapter could cover MM also. Link was technically still the HoT considering the game was as much about manipulating time, if not moreso, than Oot was

4 pages of track designs, and 5 of train designs. Fantastic.

I'm bucking the sensible reaction and calling it right now: "The Last Hero" is a preview of this:
...or something similar, coming exclusively to 3DS March 2013.

I was planning on importing but for some reason it just seems like it's going to come over to the US. Only problem is I don't want to screw myself if it doesn't come out and the Japanese edition skyrockets in price.
wow,.... I mean WOW... this book, this piece of zelda memorabilia will put an end to the timeline debate... if I had the money, I'd buy this with no hesitation and I'd read slowly in the night with candle light, in silence.
fuck, if there was a Zelda accesory to buy at a high price, it is this freaking book.
congrats to those with money.

I'm more angry that Link to the Past is only 2 pages, and apparently shares those 2 pages with Link's Adventure.

TP bold? Why?
There is tons of interesting art and design in TP, and I'm sure the concepts are even more interesting. Not saying MM shouldn't have more pages, but why is TP having a number of pages bad?
