Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - SIMPLY GREAT!
Very nice and helpful.
Great guide for a great game.
Fully recommended.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good, but...
If you are playing on the Nintendo GameCube, not so great. There are other guides for that platform that are better.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Every Quest needs a Map and this is the Map I need.
I beat the game in 43hrs but that was without the complete amount of Hearts and side quests. But this book will change that. You HAVE to take a game on first without any help from game guides, and then take it on with the help of the guide.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Overall its great, one TINY problem (but hopefully you can live with it ^_^)
Basically here is how the guide is set up. It has a holographic cover so it's "halfway" between hardback and paperback. It starts of as any normal guide would, giving you the table of contents, controls, special items in the game, and collectables.

Now, the real part of purchasing the guide is the walk through section. Unlike many other guides I have purchased this one goes about walking you through the game differently. At the beginning of each section they give you a map with little numbers on it. Following the map each dot is presented with a paragraph describing what you need to do at each "numbered station." Because they include many pictures (don't get me wrong, the pictures are EXTREMELY helpful) you are never going to get one section where all the dots are explained on the same page. So naturally, page flipping is a problem. When I am playing, i constantly have to flip back, to the map to see where the next dot is, and forth, to see what you have to do at each dot, between pages which kind of slows down the process of reading the guide. In between telling which number corresponds to which paragraph, Nintendo decided to place other tid bits of information. For example, the very first "optional" information talks about how to make Epona jump over a fence (just in case you don't know). This proves to be pretty helpful through out the game.

Remember the collections that I had talked about in the beginning of the guide? Well after the main walk through, Nintendo gives you walkthroughs on where you can collect each item for each collection.....the only problem is that some of the items (if you miss them) will not be available later, so CONSTANTLY check the "collection guides" to see if you can get a piece of heart etc. (so that YOU don't miss it like I did.) After the mini guides, there is a section of upgrades for your weapons/money as well as side quest walkthroughs.

Following these, there is a TINY section on how to play the game for the gamecube. However, after reading everybody else's reviews:

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GUIDE FOR THE GAMECUBE.

At the VERY back of the book there is a page titled "Map Key." It can be a little bit annoying to have to flip back there when you don't know what something means, but hey! they had to put it somewhere i guess.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A fine manual for WII users, but...
This manual has fine picures but lacks detail in the play through instuctions. At the same time I purchased this book, I also purchased Prima's Twilight Princess for Game Cube. The ONP version was designed for WII and so all the left/right, east/west directions are backwards. The Prima version had too much detail, telling me where to go, but then telling me I can't do anything there yet, so go back, too many times.

I would suggest buying both rather than either one by itself. The ONP version has lists of where the hearts, bugs and Poes are. The Prima version expects you to follow step by step and it's easy to loose your place in the book if you like to investite on your own.

Both books have fine maps, and the ONP version does have a series of maps in the back reversed for GC users.
