This review is from: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Game and Official Strategy Guide Bundle (Video Game)

This is the classic Zelda game, the one that enshrined the franchise in video game history. This game is still fun after almost 20 years - and it's now available on Wii. Great music, beautiful worlds, fun and challenging levels. Unique amongst video games at the time (or even today), it has a rich plot, including a dramatic opening level. The switch between the Light and Dark worlds works great. At some points the game gets ridiculously difficult, but usually it is pretty manageable. Just make sure to buy enough potions to increase your health!

As for the guide, it's more of a hint book that a genuine walkthrough. It doesn't do a good job explaining how to get around some of the obstacles. That being said, it's a beautiful book, with lots of great exclusive illustrations. It also is written more like a lore book than a modern video game guide. I recommend it for Zelda fans, but more as a collectible than a real guide.
