5.0 out of 5 stars The Secrets to the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, November 4, 2000

By	Gordon Bellaver (St. Charles, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This book is superb. There is no better way to describe it. The maps and coloring done by the makers, gives excellent detail and description on how to beat the game. Everything you need to walk through this game successfully is here, and nothing can compare to it. This book is excellent, and I recommend it to anyone who would like to have the best book for The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

2.0 out of 5 stars Save your money, January 15, 2001

By	"mabro" (United States) - See all my reviews

I'm not sure what guide the other reviewers were talking about but it couldn't have been this one. I got Zelda: Majora's Mask for X-Mas and quickly realized I'd need some outside help if I were to beat the game anytime soon. When I got Zelda: Ocarina of Time, I bought the Official Nintendo Strategy Guide and it was superb. But this Bradygames guide for Majora's Mask is cheaper than Nintendo's so I bought it sight unseen from Amazon thinking it'd be good enough. In all fairness I suppose it is 'just good enough'. Here are the problems with it:

1) A _ton_ of typos and outright mis-labeling. Typos are a big deal when you're in a dungeon and the guide says to go to a certain room and about 2 hrs later you figure out that they'd made a mistake. 2) They made the maps in this guide with some sort of 3D program that is supposed to be a copy of the real game. The problem is these fancy 3D maps distort the actual areas. Good luck finding a hidden hole in the game when the guide's map says that the hole is in a completely different place than where it really is. 3) There are 2 Gold Skulltula Houses in the game that each have 30 spiders hidden within. This guide does an absolutely _horrible_ job showing you where they are. It basically just says, 'There are 5 Spiders in this room' and leaves you on your own to find them. 4) If you don't know already, Majora's Mask has a 3 day time period that you keep replaying by going back in time. You keep Masks/Weapons you earn when you go back in time but everything else reverts. For example: After you beat a dungeon the land in that area goes back to normal (poisonous waters are cleaned, snows melt, etc) and that allows you to enter new places in that area to get Heart Pieces or whatever. If you don't get those items before you go back in time you can't get to them unless you go back to the Dungeon that you've already beaten and fight the boss again. Kinda a pain. Now here's the problem: After beating a Dungeon, this guide doesn't tell you what new things you can now get in that area. Very frustrating.

About the only thing this Guide does well is tell you where and how to get the 15 Fairies in each Dungeon. Of course this Guide does list where all the Masks and Heart Pieces are but you can find a similar list on about a hundred websites for free.

I'd recommend that you either find a walkthrough on the Internet (there are a ton of them) or get the Official Nintendo Guide (I flipped through one at a local store after I'd already bought this one and it's alot better but costs about ...).

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay..., December 30, 2004

A Kid's Review

You could use this guide and get through the game, but I wouldn't pay more than $10.00 to get it. This book is FULL of typos. The enemy description page is loaded with them. The maps are also confusing. If you can figure out your way from the maps, and you can read them and stuff, I suppose it's worth the money. I would highly suggest looking at it before spending any money on it however.
