Piggyback's Proven Track Record with Nintendo

This isn't Piggyback's first collaboration with Nintendo. The company previously produced official strategy guides for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, renowned for their comprehensive coverage and high-quality presentation. These guides provided players with invaluable information, from Korok seed locations to detailed weapon and armor stats, even encompassing DLC content.

Piggyback's expertise in crafting visually stunning and informative guides for the Zelda franchise promises a similarly high-quality experience for the upcoming Metroid Prime art book.
