5.0 out of 5 stars You Can't Go Wrong With Versus Books, November 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time Perfect Guide (Paperback)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Zelda book on the planet, March 5, 2000

This book does not give away the plot, and at the same time gives an insanely detailed walkthrough of everything there is to know about the game. The writing is kind of funny too. I have honestly never read a videogame guide that has had more detail to it. The maps are great and give tons of help. If you buy any Zelda book, make it this one.

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!
