The highly anticipated official Piggyback Collector’s Edition Guide for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild mysteriously vanished from Amazon this past weekend, leaving fans puzzled. Following the exciting Nintendo Switch and Breath of the Wild announcements, the guide, initially available for pre-order, is no longer listed on the retail giant’s website.
Both the UK and US Amazon product pages now display 404 errors, indicating the product has been removed. Further searches suggest the Zelda Breath of the Wild game guide is currently unavailable from other online retailers as well. This sudden disappearance has sparked speculation within the gaming community, with many wondering about the reasons behind this abrupt removal.
The prevailing theory suggests that Nintendo may have requested the removal of pre-orders due to potential spoilers contained within the book’s description. While these spoilers were not considered major – reportedly including details about side-quests and the number of shrines in Breath of the Wild – Nintendo is known for its meticulous control over game information prior to release. For those curious about the specifics, Nintendo Everything managed to capture the product description before its removal, offering a glimpse into the potentially sensitive information.
Despite the removal, the Zelda Breath of the Wild game guide Collector’s Edition promises substantial bonus content for fans. Advertised as a “collector’s edition bonus,” the guide is expected to feature a premium hardcover, a large-size map poster of Hyrule, and a dedicated 16-page retrospective celebrating thirty years of Zelda games. These additions are designed to appeal to dedicated fans and collectors, enhancing the value of the Zelda Breath of the Wild game guide beyond simple gameplay assistance.

It is widely anticipated that the Zelda Breath of the Wild game guide will reappear for purchase closer to the game’s official launch date on March 3rd. This strategic timing would allow Nintendo to control the flow of information and minimize potential spoilers before players experience the game firsthand. Fans eager to get their hands on this comprehensive Zelda Breath of the Wild game guide should monitor online retailers for its re-listing in the coming weeks. We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available regarding the Zelda Breath of the Wild game guide and its official release.
