The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess—The Official Nintendo Player's Guide
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess—The Official Nintendo Player's Guide is a guidebook released by Nintendo Power for Twilight Princess.
Features
The guide features 192 pages. It contains complete walkthroughs for both the Wii and Nintendo GameCube versions of Twilight Princess as well as checklists for every type of collectible. It also comes with a large collectable poster.
The guide's introduction briefly summarizes Twilight Princess's story premise before explaining all of the Wii version's controls.[1][2] This includes a dedicated section on controlling Wolf Link.[3] It even offers tips like how Rolling after a long fall will negate damage.[4] The guide then shows every Item to be obtained during the adventure with small blurbs explaining their purpose,[5] a page specifically about collecting Golden Bugs and Poe Souls,[6] and finally a page summarizing how to most effectively use the guide.[7]
After the introduction, the walkthrough itself is divided into sections by Dungeon, with every area that must be visited on the way to each Dungeon as a subsection. For example, the subsection about the Sacred Grove is within the section for the Arbiter's Grounds. After the walkthrough is an appendix containing checklists for all collectibles, including the Cave of Ordeals and Mini-Games.[8]
Since the only differences between the Wii and Nintendo GameCube versions of Twilight Princess are the controls and the fact the world is horizontally mirrored, the section for the GameCube version contains only a condensed explanation of the GameCube's controls and properly-oriented maps for each area.
