Summary: A walkthrough with personality
Review: A lovely walkthrough, beautifully-designed layout and packed full of game illustrations, hints and reminders, drawn-out maps of every dungeon and region, and great text descriptions. Mr. Loe and Guess have a refreshingly acerbic sense of humor when it comes to random nonsensical parts of the game that sets this book apart from all the other Ocarina of Time guides, and especially appeals to me as an older Zelda fan...

Summary: Of all the Zelda OOT guides this is the one to get!
Review: Alright, back when VERSUS BOOKS really truly did make the best guides on the market (in this present day I think they lost it somewhere) you couldn't go wrong. They'd just proved to use that you could go beyond the game with crystal-clear, high-rez screenshots. Not to mention that this guide came after three of their best-sellers (FF7, RE2 and MGS) and they were going to show us once again why VERSUS BOOKS makes the best games on the market.

And they did a damn good job with this one! The most organized and complete guide for Zelda you could ever buy is right here! The "Featuring" section tells you what page holds what secret so that we don't have to fish them out of the walkthrough like some other guides make you. In-depth boss strategies that will make you feel invincible at times.

The best part about this guide were it's insanely detailed maps! Every other guide had some pretty bad maps. Well, they weren't bad but I didn't like that they had no detail. These maps are drawn by hand and to scale. Making these maps easy to use and I think that this is how every Zelda guide should look!

You can be content that you'll be able to open this guide up to any section and be able to see every map, item, and secret that the game has to offer. You'll be able to conquer the game pretty easily using this guide. Not only that but this guide tells you where to find every item and gold skulltula and all the hidden bosses. New enemies are introduced as the walkthrough progresses as well.

I have TWO gripes with this guide. One is that there are no game basics or battle tips. In fact, the guide jumps right into the walkthrough. Second, while new enemies are called out in the walkthrough it would've been nice to have a separate enemies list.

Still, of all the Zelda guides I've ever seen, this one is the best that you can buy. You won't be disappointed with this guide at all. This goes to show that the best Video Game guides on the market (back then at least) are from VERSUS BOOKS!

Summary: THIS IS THE BEST GUIDE EVER!
Review: Anybody who has Zelda, get this guide! It shows you how to grab tricky heart pieces with the Boomerang! I couldn't have beaten Dodongo's Cavern or Jabu Jabu's Belly without this guide!

Summary: Author's comments!
Review: Hey everyone! I just noticed that my Zelda book has finally appeared here at Amazon, and some twit has already written a comment claiming to be the author. Okaaaay... Please ignore his strange comment, since such a trick does not, of course, exist.

Well, anyway, I'm the real author (I swear!) and I just wanted to thank everyone for all the wonderful comments they left below, and beg the rest of you to buy my book!

I know it's mysteriously the only one that's NOT on sale (what's up with THAT?) but Zelda is a masterpiece and you deserve the best guide! We have fully detailed maps drawn by a team of professional fantasy artists, detailed instructions on how to get all of the hidden items, all 36 pieces of heart, all 4 bottles (and all the poes), all 100 gold skulltulas, all the masks, all the... Uh... Just everything!

And best of all: NO SPOILERS! So you can flip through it without ruining certain plot twists that other books recklessly ruin for you.

And the text is kinda fun and witty... But, well, I guess I'm hardly an unbiased source in that department. But please buy it anyway.

Thanks!

Summary: A Mom Buys it a Second Time It's That Good
Review: I am buying this book for a second time. We started the book when my son was 6, couldn't read yet, so I read it to him and helped him through the game. It was thorough, creative, and very humorous writing that I enjoyed using with my son. Now that my son is 7 and can read it for himself, he has used it so much that the book is in tatters. I think the book is very beautiful to look at, and indeed, worth having in newer condition, so I am buying it again. I would have given it 5 stars except for, like the other commentator, the swearing (I am, after all, a mom).

Summary: You Can't Go Wrong With Versus Books
Review: I bought the Prima Guide & this one, I have to say this guide rules! Not even up against Prima, but up against anything! The only downside to the guide is that sometimes it takes things for granted and some of the incredibly stupid gamers (such as myself) might be stuck for a minute or two, but it always works out. Although the features of the book sound cliche (i.e. all 36 Heart Peices, All 100 Gold Skulltallas) they do it in such detail that it puts other guides to shame. Detailed maps of EVERY place in the game (and I mean every place, there's even a map of Hyrule Field provided for Poe Hunting) round out this fantastic book. MUST BUY!

Summary: the best
Review: i had the ocarina of time for my N64 and this guide was extremely helpful back then. it has every little secret. now i have the ocarina of time for gamecube(got it with the pre-order of the windwaker) and even though the master quest is a tad bit different from the regular ocarina of time i still find that i probably couldn't pass some dungeons or find some secrets without this guide. the writers are also very entertaining so if you want a good laugh it's also good for that too.
