MSRP is $40 in the US, but hardly any place will sell it for that. As others stated, it is $24 on Amazon at the moment, which is about the price I've paid for all the other Legend of Zelda books.
4th by my count
The English version of the book is called “Creating a Champion” here’s an amazon link (assuming you’re in the US)

Something like this that they did for LoZ BotW would be sweet to have along the way, more like you were saying with concert art, interviews with the creators, storyboards, side stories, behind the scenes, world building, lore, history, mythology, and the like. Then after the show is done, a thick compilation of those books together would be amazing! Kinda like the Goddess Collection for LoZ, lore and history and plot and making of, art and artifacts, everything else you could’ve ever dreamed of

WHY DOESN'T THIS MATCH THE OTHERS????!!!!!
Seriously though, this is actually making me upset because it's so petty. The previous three Zelda books have all matched with ornate symbols on the front, and the Japanese version of this BotW artbook matched fairly well, albeit with blue instead of gold and the Breath of the Wild logo instead of the generic series logo.
But now, all of a sudden, the English version of this final book has changed its cover to just have a bunch of characters on the front! WHY would they do this? What on earth is the point in suddenly making this last book not match the previous ones in the series?!?!?! Why are they going out of their way and putting in more effort to make the collection worse?
Edit: Amazon page says "Cover subject to change". Not sure what would have led them to make this new English cover to begin with, considering this didn't happen with the previous titles, but I'm reeeeeeally hoping this means they'll go back to the Japanese one.
