The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons & Oracle of Ages Official Strategy Guide

Comment: This version of the Zelda guide book is the worst I've seen so far.
In the "item index," key items (like weapons) are mislabeled or completely left out. And there's almost no information about linked games, and with its awful layout, you have search through pages to find the one instruction your looking for.

My suggestion is to go to GameFaqs and print out one from there, or get a different guide.

Stay away from this one at all costs

Comment: When I got Oracle of seasons for my B-Day, after 8 straight hours of playing, I was on level 2. So, I went out and bought this guide. No, it isn't a "cheater's guide", but a helpful walk through. I haven't found the need to get any others, and from what I've heard, this is the best.It has very clear, detailed instructions, and a picture for every caption! And, as if that wasn't enough, in the back, there's a chart, listing every item you can receive, and it's purpose (the same goes for rings). There are also colorful, detailed maps in the back, there's even a map of Subrosia. This is definatly the most helpful guide for the oracle series. (If I hadn't bought this, I'd still be wandering around in the Level 2 dungeon)

Comment: I can only speak about the AGES guide. I found serious errors and mis-information starting at level 6. There are things omitted, erroneous, or out of sequence that leave you high and dry in the game. This also happened at level 7. (I have not yet moved to level 8.) I had to rely on web site guides to get me out of trouble. Use caution with this book! If you don't have access to other guides or friends who played the game, don't buy it for the AGES game. I don't know about any other guide books since this is the one I picked based on the other reviews. (I wonder if the other reviews are bogus! You can't finish the game with these errors!)

Comment: i have had bought my share of strategy guides in the past, but this one is the most usefull and helpful one out there!

Comment: If you should get this book, first try to find the lowest price you can. I myself have used this book so many times it's starting to look ancient. Of the two versions of guidebooks for the Zelda Oracle series, it is definitely the best. It is perfect for the Gameboy game. It has plenty of illustrations and hints. It has maps of every dungeon, season, and age. It is definitely the better of the two.
