This review is from: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX (Prima Strategy Guide) (Paperback)

From the co-authors of Prima's Star Ocean: The Second Story Official Strategy Guide (an product of pure excellence) comes another FULLY COMPLETE guide to what is hands down the greatest Game Boy game ever made [to date, of course]. Every single area is mapped out in full color, all items, weapons, heart pieces, and seashells are revealed, all the new photograph opportunities are shown, and the enemy/boss strategies are right on the money. The walkthrough is very well done as well, for those who need step-by-step directions for getting through the game's dungeons (including the new secret color dungeon). The only thing I feel could have been added woould be to point out to players how to open up some of the rooms (i.e., the map in the book shows the players where to go next, but a player might not know to throw a pot at a door, or kill all of the enemies, to allow them passage to get there). But even that will not reduce the overall rating of this excellent guide. It's too bad it was not released months earlier when the game was; it probably would have done much better in sales. Add this one to your collection today (and you can't beat amazon's price!).

I enjoy playing with the Zelda game just as much as my children, but we were almost at a standstill until I ordered the Legend of Zelda book. We are now flying through areas we never would have found otherwise. It is a great help not only in finding trading items and secret shells, as well as different dungeons, but it has also decreased our frustration of the unknown.

I was stuck on a leval, when I stumbled on this Bible in its own way. It got me through the game in no time. it goes over all the levles and tells you what to look for and where. It tells locations of all seashells and hearts, how to beat bad guys, and even where to bomb. I won this game one week after I bought this book! Buy it!
