Summary: Awesome
Review: Although I had long since beaten the game using an online strategy guide, I had still found this guide fairly helpful. Even though it doesn't tell you exactly how or where to get all 100 Gold Skulltulas (it was also wrong in the Water Temple) it is still very detailed and tells you almost everything. One thing I didn't like is that it barely mentions, let alone tells how to get the Ice Arrows in the Gerudo Training Grounds. Overall, it was a fun book to read and use. Using it, I have perfected my gaming abilities. I can now beat the game without dying at all or even use a single fairy to replinish life. I can also beat the entire game and find every last piece of everything in 3 days or less. That is without playing it continuously. I have also found every secret in the game including Great Fairy Fountains, Fairy Fountains, all 100 Gold Skulltulas, all 36 Heart Container Pieces, and so much more. As the game progresses, the book gets more detailed, which is good. I would reccomend this book to any regular or hardcore Zelda fan. ...

Summary: I can realy get further NOT!!!!!!!!!
Review: First off, I'm going to give everyone a disclaimer and say that I haveN'T beat the whole game yet, and I've looked at no more than half the guide.

It seems >complete enough<. For a color guide with a MSRP of only ten dollars, with listings of all the equipment, gold skulltulas, and heart pieces, as well as what they do/what they're used for, what mode equipment you need, and what you need to be in (adult/young Link) It's at the very least a decent bargain.

Unfortunately, Not all of the stuff is listed in the correct place. The skulltulas are but the only shining example I can think of to illustrate this. The chart that lists the skulltulas, equipment requirements, and mode only list 57 of the 100 of them. However, all of them listed are outside the dungeons. You'll still find the rest if you read the dungeon walkthroughs. Would've been nice to have them included in that handy chart list as well, as what's the point of having everything in one handy location if you still need to flip through other parts of the book to find them?

My final gripe with this guide is that for portions of the walkthroughs and descriptions, you have black colored font on brown/dark grayish backgrounds. Sure, the backgrounds look neat, but it always makes it harder (not impossible goodness forbid) to read the words and distinguish bold type from regular type. Flip thorugh the pages yourself to judge this. Amazon let's you preview the first 10 pages or so. A guide should be as easy as possobile to follow, and those choice of colors just don't help out.

My main reason that this guide got 3 stars and NOT 2 was mainly b/c this guide is about 5 to 10 dollars cheaper than most of the competition, so I can kind of forgive missing some info here and there. My two gripes above will be my "ten dollar lesson" for next time to flip through as much of a guide as possible, compare the layout and material to other guides, THEN take price into consideration.

And it reveals the most secretest secret,Sheik is princess Zelda in disguise!It even tells that after you beat Gannondorf, you face Gannon in his final form!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Wouldn't Recommend It
Review: I preordered the Wind Waker for Gamecube and recieve the Ocarina of Time for free. I bought this guide from Amazon because it was the only one available. I should have looked elsewhere. This guide is only helpful in the dungeon walkthroughs. It doesn't provide enough details into finding the Gold Skulltulas or the Heart Pieces. If you need a guide for this game, look for the one by Versus Books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A good guide!
Review: I really like this guide because it helped me figure out how to beat Ganondorf. It has cool pictures too, especially the map of the Hyrule world.
