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!

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!

This guide has helped me get out of trouble every time I am stuck thus allowing me to enjoy the game without frustration. If you do not have the patience or the time to work around nearly impossible tasks with Zelda then this guide is a must for you.

This strategy guide for The Legend of Zelda: Orcarina of Time is the best guide money can buy. I especially love this guide because it shows the heart pieces and skullutulas on the page where you are currently trying to conquer. In other books you have to got to the index and then go all the way around all of Hyrule to find it. Now for the best thing in the guide: NO SPOILERS! I hate seeing endings in books and then might not even see it in the game. Also, the new game called The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is going to be great. I have already seen the Versus Books guide for that game. I highly reccomend you buy one if not, both of these incredible books. Every secret uncovered. Every skullutula found. Every heart piece recovered. Item explanations. Detailed boss fights. And the story of a hero that time forgot all in this great book.

This is the best guide for Zelda 64 that you can own! This guide gives you every secret, it has an appendix full of all the Big Poes, ALL of the 100 Gold Skulltulas, and the secret 13th song, Scarecro's Song! And Scarecrow's Song comes in handy! And it has really good tips on getting the Biggoron's Sword which rules, and how to get the horse! And because of this guide I got them both on my first try! And with this guide I beat the Water Temple easily! And the Water Temple is the hardest dungeon! This guide gives you everything about this game. It gives you every secret and awesome strategys. If you own Zelda 64, you have to get this guide to help you. IT RULES! And it makes Zelda more fun, because you actually know what you're doing! Don't buy any other guide and waste your money, buy this guide, this has EVERYTHING!

I would just like to say I am very impressed and pleased with this book and would like to say thank you to all of the people who made it.

This Book Has Step By Step instructions for every part of the game. It tells you where all of the small keys, boss keys, maps and compases are in the dungens and tells you where to learn all of the songs(including the scarecrow's song) and get all of the items (including the biggorons sword all of the magic arrows and powers. And at the end of the book there is a nice simple appendix guide to the 100 gold skullwaltulas, 36 heart pieces and 10 poes.

I would really like to thank Casey Loe for all of the effort she put in to this.

This Book has got to be the best guide book ever written for a game. It has detailed maps, but they are not so detailed that it gives you a headache or anything. It tells you how to do everything, including how to get Epona the horse. It also doesn't leave gaps like other guide books that tell you about one room, then just skip to the next one, without telling you how to get there. It also feels like the writer is talking to you, and makes it enjoyable to read.

This is the world's greatest strategy guide! It is so detailed and interesting that you could read it for pleasure (I did). With pictures and step by step instructions, any kid who can read could beat the Ocarina Of Time with it. I am almost thirteen and I've loved it since I was 9.

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.
