The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition Player's Strategy Guide

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.

But it doesn't mean there arent any. One clear error is towards the back of the guide located in the list of the pieces of hearts. For item...Read more

I always like to play game with manual, so I don not need to spend a lot of time on it. For me, I like it.
