 Where's the beef? .... January 15, 2007

This guide is not super in-depth and so it should be concidered more a collectible than a guide ...
First off, it is way too compressed to cover the four games (I, II, Ocarina & Majora) as deep as I believe it should have. In my opinion this guide should be twice as thick as it is (especially concidering it's selling price). It honestly seems like a bit of a rush job. There are a number of small errors throughout the guide and quite a few omissions of pertinent info. There should have been a competent editor on hand to put in a good final inspection before release.
The overworld maps are less than stellar and Zelda artwork/illustrations are minimal. This guide gives you the basic meat and potatoes (for the most part) and leaves everything else to speculation and exploration on your own.
If you are looking for a highly indepth guidebook this is not it ... I suppose some people like info kept to a minimum, but I would have preferred a book worthy of being concidered "collectible". I honestly believe the creators of this guide had zero passion for the project, or were put in a stranglehold by the upper-crust, because this guide could have been so much richer in content ... you'd think with the fact these games have played such a large part in the success of Nintendo that they would have at least invested a little more in it.
3 stars because it does help and also because I'm feeling generous today ;)
