5.0 out of 5 stars Gets the job done ..., January 8, 2007

This review is from: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Player's Guide (Paperback)

I give this Nintendo guide 4 stars only because it doesn't have an overworld fold-out map, which is customary to Zelda literature. ;)

Anyhow, the guide is not completely clear or specific in a couple of locations and people always say: "The devil is in the details".
Some details are not spelled out thoroughly and left me guessing a bit to find the solution to gameplay.
Although I have experienced this same confusion in the past with other name brand guides as well ... It happens.

What I do like about this guide is that it does include all pertinent info and screenshots to progress and master the game. It gives you all you need to enjoy the game, but doesn't spoil the adventure of it at the same time.
I bought mine 12/12/06 for 20 bucks at a local gamers depot.

How it compares to the Prima or Brady guide I have no idea, since I haven't seen their versions.
Although having bought Prima guides in the past, I was happy with the info they had in them, but it seems they typically spoil more clues than an alzheimers patient playing Clue?.

The thing that turned me away from the other two guides is the Ocarina of Time filler pages ... If I wanted a good OoT guide I would just buy one.
I would rather have added pages filled with more spreads on the applicable game at hand: Wind Waker, but that's just me. ;)

If I was to do over, I would buy this guide again.
I can't give it 5 stars because I don't know how it compares to the other two guides available?
Although I probably should since it meets all my criteria for a guide ... well, besides the lack of an overworld map. ;)
