This guide only released today November 4, 2008.
There are already reviews for this guide.
I think the reviews here are for older guides of this game by Prima.
Past guides either covered just the Wii or just the GameCube version.

An older guide had a gold foil stamped hardcover and was a Collectors edition released November 13, 2007
Find this guide with this isbn 0761557857
New Content! - Sixteen pages of new content added. Full Legendary Checklists for quick ref of all collectibles.
Cloth Overworld Map - A collectible poster map of the Overworld printed on cloth to keep you oriented in Hyrule. (the cloth map isn't that great it has strings coming off it one reviewers said)
Every item is covered in Prima's Guide - Every collectible item and Rupee location in the entire game world revealed.
Premier Maps - Exclusive maps for every Dungeon in the game.
(The legendary checklist at the back didn't detail the location of Poe Souls or Golden Bugs, which could've helped in many cases. The heart checlist is pretty good, though, telling you where to find them. The checklist also details on finding equipment and items. So it's not so bad. )

Another guide was a Wii Version Paperback released November 28, 2006
Written specifically for the Wii version!

Anyone who buys this guide and reviews it should see if it lists the following:

Is there a checklist telling you where to find all of this stuff so you don't have to do a lot of page flipping?
Is the guide well organized?
Are the pictures large enough?
Does it tell how to beat the Cave of Ordeals?
Does it have a fishing guide?
Does it tell how to catch legendary Hylian Loach fish?
Also include pictures of this guide.

Useless to me - I have a gamecube. They should have specified Wii version for this. But I still gave it 4 stars because it looks like a good book, but there are significant differences between my game and the one described here.

I recently bought a Wii Nintendo for the fitness part. I also bought "Zelda" because I had wanted to play it since it first came out.
This guide book is huge! And the pictures and text are very easy to read. I thought the price was very, very reasonable for what it is. If you plan on playing Zelda, though, make sure you get the right guide book, as there are several around. I consider this Wii Zelda guide book as the deal of the year.

So, ive never played a zelda game before....ever. But this was the game that came as a bundle for my wii when I got it in 2006. I had no interest in getting this game, but it was an add-on, and I only had enough money for a guide. As it happens, my only game...had this guide for it. I love guides. But i try not to use them too much. They spoil the game and make it easy. But this guide makes the game easy, but still hard. The things it instructs you to do make puzzles fun and easy to comprehend. But to actually do them is another thing. This guide right here has an item checklist, EVERY item in the entire game, you can check off. It does the same for heart pieces. The story is very long however. And this guide is SO detailed on the entire story, you may end up reading the guide more than you play the game. Not to mention the maps, amazing. I would be lost without this guides detailed maps on every section. I highly reccommend this to any zelda fans, or any fans that HAVE to collect everything in a game before putting it down (like me).

I bought this for my nephew I got him the game for xmas and he wanted the book and he's like it very much thank's

This is the best game ever! Great graphics, story line, and options for use of controllers. I don't consider myself a video game buff, but am hooked on this game and play it for horus at a time. Great combination of adventure seeking and battling. I love it! Definitely get the companion book with it or you will miss a lot and drive youself crazy! Soo much fun!!

I got this for my brother for Christmas. He really likes it. He hasn't really played the game since reading it, but he likes to look at it. He is currently involved in our new 360, but the guide will be there for him when he wants to hop back on the gamecube. Besides, Twilight Princess is my game so I too benefit off of the guide as well. And I hear that those are the best gifts ever when you benefit from what you get for someone else...heh.
