986 ArchivesLegend of Zeldauniverse grows with every new game, so what better way to keep track of every person, place, and thing than with a 320-page encyclopedia.

Dark Horse Comics announced The Legend of Zelda EncyclopediaMonday, which collects and explains every character, item, map, and more from every Zeldagame from the original NES game to 2016's Twilight Princess HDin a single book.

The Legend of Zelda Encyclopediais the third book in a trilogy of Zeldabooks including 2011's Hyrule Historiaand 2017's Art and Artifacts. Hyrule Historia details the timeline and stories of the Zeldagames, while Art and Artifactsis filled with illustrations and concept art.

According to Dark Horse Comics, the encyclopedia gets down into the nitty gritty of the Zeldafranchise.

"[The Legend of Zelda Encyclopediais] a comprehensive collection of enemies and items, potions to poes, an expansion of the lore touched upon in Hyrule Historia, concept art, screencaps, maps, main characters and how they relate, languages, and much, much more," the description reads.

The only game it doesn't touch upon is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which -- given its extensive database of weapons, armor, and items -- could probably fill up its own 320-page book.

For fans of the Zeldatimeline, though, this book promises to expand upon Hyrule Historia's timeline. Whether it will include Breath of the Wildis unknown.

The Legend of Zelda Encyclopediais coming out April 24 and will cost $40.
