GruBBworM Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 My Question is....... How many of you are just playing this game blind .... and how many of you are using this Player's guide every step of the way ? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I extremely rarely use any gaming guides. And Zelda TP is pretty easy so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I haven't used a guide yet. I've only got about 3 hour invested in it tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockman_x_2002 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I have the guide, but it's still shrinkwrapped. I'm playing through blind on the first pass-through, as I did with OOT originally. Seems like the best way for me to enjoy the game, spoiler-free, as intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgler Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 That's what I do too. Once I beat it, I'll probably use the guide and beat hte GCN version, and try to get everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisrael Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I do some of both, taking the first pass at things but not letting myself get stuck. I just don't have a good mind for finding hidden stuff, and not enough patience. Hell I'm already up around 40 hours at this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddst Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I am about 8 hours into it, and I used gamefaqs for two things in the first two hours of the game. I don't like using guides, but when an aspect of the game is no longer fun, I have no problem opening one up. -todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I beat the game fair and square. I say that as I find "guides" are more like "cheat books" IMO. Play without a guide dude, it makes the game much more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play without a guide dude, it makes the game much more fun. It's a tradeoff; a sense of satisfaction in exchange for more time and more frustration. My advice is, play with a friend, two heads are better than one. Personally, I don't trust game writers to make puzzles and hidden goodies in a way that I can get through them with what I consider a reasonable time and effort. (That said, I tend to be more of a completist for things that help me in boss fights, like hearts...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I played most of the game without the use of a guide, but did hit IGN's online guide once when I simply couldn't figure out where to go next. This was at about 45+ hours into the game. I didn't need it afterwards as the game was fairly straightforward. It did take me a few tries to figure out how to take down Gannon's beast form but once I figured that out...taking him down wasn't much of a challenge. I spent a total of 62 - 65 hours to beat the game. But I certainly didn't find everything. I never found the cave...or even knew about it until reading about it in forum messages.

Happy_Dude Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I have the guide, but it's still shrinkwrapped. The Limited edition guide is the coolest thing ever. I'll probably get 2 and leave 1 shrinked for posterity (and future cash ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I beat the game fair and square. I say that as I find "guides" are more like "cheat books" IMO. Play without a guide dude, it makes the game much more fun. Easy say when you have plenty of time. But for those of us with VERY limited time a guide can be handy. But I understand where you're coming from. I avoid a guide as much as I possibly can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgler Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Yes guides are cheating, but I like to keep it in perspective. Back in the day for instance I never would have finished certain games without hint books. Before the days of mandatory start-to-finish guides, I used to sift through Nintendo Power hunting for sporadic tips and then catalogue them away. I didn't think of it as cheating then, so I guess I ought not to now really. Back then it was different though as the enitre game solution could rarely be found in one place and not very conveniently. I never ever would have found the warps in Mario 2, or been able to find the flute in Zelda 2 without things like the Classifed Information seciton of NP.
