Hyrule Warriors Legends Collector's Edition: Prima Official Guide

I decided to put this review together for those who enjoy collecting the Zelda collectors edition game guides. If your someone who likes collecting them to add to your zelda collection and also enjoy the guides, hopefully this review may help a little. First and foremost, if I could, this review would be 4 and a half stars. I have decided though that it is more closely to five stars than four stars thus my "perfect" rating. Also be advised although I preordered the guide, amazon delivered a few days late. (This also happened with LoZ Twilight Princess HD guide but was I was compensated fairly). Previous Prima Guide LoZ collectors guide have been beautiful. Typical covers with gold trimmings, along with interesting goodies that come with the guides (such as the nice LoZ Twilight Princess HD cloth that was huge enough to frame), electronic codes for the guides online, and other neat little things. Unfortunately, beside the E-guide, no goodies here. So no goodies, a very different looking guide compared to the traditional collector style, and no gold trimmings. These are personally my only complaints. On the good side, the cover is very sleek. This style and title of the game is also on the spine of the guide (for those of us that were disappointed in the Triforce Heroes collectors guide this was a huge issue as it was plain). The text and artwork are beautiful and the guide has already proved its use in the first level of the game. So its actual use is already being noted. What is also beautiful is the 80 page behind the scenes artwork and description about so many characters from the LoZ 30 year franchise. Displays their character, weapons, items, enemies, landscapes, and numerous other details and information. For those who have the Hyrule Historia it similar to that. At the end of the day I give it 5 stars. I gave Triforce Heroes 4 stars because since it IS canon (which can still be debated by some) it should of remained consistent in the style of every other zelda game. Since Hyrule Warriors Legends is NOT canon, I give it a pass for its dissimilar look to other LoZ guides. Since it is still an effective guide and has some beautiful artwork, interviews, etc. I think it is a nice guide to compliment all LoZ fans. Remember these guides sky rocket in price quickly, so get it asap while it is still an excellent price!

If you are a fan of Legend of Zelda, this game is a must have! Beautiful graphics in 3D. There are so many missions and side-missions, this guide book really helps out. It is a beautiful hard cover collectors item. Delivered on Easter Sunday! Great to be an Amazon Prime customer.

Exactly what I needed. Has every bit of data (though I do wish there was an appendix for which enemies appear where) that I need. I do recommend this to anyone who wants a good guide for the right price.

3 1/2 to 4 Stars total. Major thing to note is that I am playing this on a N3DS XL and not the O3DS and it does affect some of the information supplied by this guide. No damaged corners or folded pages due to the plastic wrapping having broke along shipping. +1 Star. Has a large amount of information for the game and could possibly even be used for the Wii U version of the game(I do not own a Wii U nor this game for it so can't comment on it). +1 Star. Has very nice quality game art and design art spread through out the entire guide as well as a section of pieces at the very back of the book. +1 Star. The Hero Training section in the front of the book is really well done for the most part. Any one that is new to this game or coming form the Wii U version should take a gander through it in order to see what's different. Will explain the reason 'for the most part' below. +1 Star. Now having extolled the good things about it, here are the Negatives to me. The text size is extremely small in not just the book but also the eGuide on my Android phone as well as my Kindles with no scaling option on any of my mobile devices. Luckily can still call it on a computer browser with the Ctrl(believe it's the command key on Mac) and mouse wheel forward or what ever keybinding you may have it set to. The problem with doing so on the computer browser version is that any and all art/photo's/game screen shots become extremely pixelized/.blurry/out of focus looking. I could honestly do with out all the fancy art and stuff and just keep important screenshots for the guide parts or the weapons/characters for the weapons/character sections. -1/2 Star. The other thing that bothers me a bit as a new player coming into this series/game is the lack of detailed information. Wish they put in that opening the START Menu will pause the game clock(at least it has in mine with the current game update) which allows you to check the guide for what they recommend doing next or if you just need to take a moment to relax your thumb from all the button mashing it's been doing.Also on what the combos do after a certain amount of regular attacks as well as the timing such as do i need to go regular+regular+slight pause+combo in order to get a Ranged slash with the Hylian Sword for Link or does it need to be regular+regular+combo in quick succession for it to work? As a new player that would have been some useful knowledge to be able to read up on for that character and their weapons before hand in the Hero Training Section of the guide. They do offer what their personal preference of combo's/attacks are but no detailed information such as regular x3 + combo will have you do Link's well known spin attack to hit all enemies nearby. Regular+ Combo will give you a frontal attack. Regular+Regular+Combo will give you a wave range attack directly in front of you in a swath. Etc, etc. I really wish it had details on each possibly combo for each of the weapons for the character in order to peruse it at a glance and not have to go into the game options and look for the combos that the weapon is capable of, though even there it doesn't say what the combos will be good for nor the timing for the combo to actually work. Point in case, I am currently trying to figure out how to consistently get Linkle's bomb combo bonus thing to work by holding the combo button after completing the combo. Is it after the combo animation completes? Is it after pressing the combo button after doing the regular attack set up? Or is it none of the previous and you just hold the combo button at the end of setting up with the regular attacks? They are also missing the Sealed Weapon Chests on all the maps I have looked at despite showing they have a Map Icon in order to show where they should be. Miss print or something perhaps? Not sure, but would be nice to see where those are located on the maps as well along with all the other stuff. Could have shown where ANY chest was on the map not just the Pieces of Heart and Heart Piece Chests. Kind of amazed that the maps they use in the guide is just a blown up screen shot of the in game battle map which makes them rather blurry and difficult to read where some things are due to their icon placement of where something is supposed to be found. Could have pulled them into Adobe Illustrator to at least make it a vector image before scaling it in order to hopefully not end up with a blurry/pixelated map image. (Edit) Have played through a few maps that had a sealed weapon in a chest but not be shown on guides map and than today I played through Land of Twilight: Twilight Field and The Shadow King: Palace of Twilight and found a Sealed Weapon in chest son both but only the one in the Palace was shown on the guides map for that battle. Did a bit of hunting through the guide to see just when they show the sealed weapon chests and the guide will only have the sealed weapons shown if it is for an unlockable weapon like Links White Sword in Sealed Ambition: Sealed Grounds or Impa's Biggoron's Knife From the Land of Myth: Death Mountain battlefield. So any other sealed weapon chests are not shown it seems.Not sure if this is due to those spawning in random locations on those maps. As I had mentioned at the start of this, I have a New 3DS XL and something that is not mentioned is the difference in the combat controls in comparison the the ones that the Old 3DS has. With the New 3DS you can also use the C-Stick in order to move the camera or set it to cycle through the Sub-Weapons like your Bombs/Boomerang/Bow which I find more useful than camera movement as you can just use Guard to change your view normally and you need your left thumb for movement and not quick swapping your Sub-Weapon with the D-Pad left and right. Not really a major thing but would be nice if they went in to a little more detail on the combat mechanics and which buttons on which 3DS model do what during which situations since some things will work differently when you have a Lock-On target than it did when you had nothing targeted. -1/2 Star. This next thing isn't really to much of a problem on the eGuide due to it having the pop out menu and you can just select which character you wish to go to as well as bookmarking where you were in the guide, but with the Hardcover book I find myself having to constantly go to the Contents page in order to find which page the character I want to look up is on, find the information I was looking for than go back to the Contents page to look up another character's page number or find where i was in the guide area of the book. Could have simply cut out the having to look at the Contents page by just putting in the characters by Alphabet. Looking for Link or Linkle go to where the L should be Alphabetically and you'd easily find it. Not bouncing back and forth to see which page who/what is on. -1/4 Star since this is rather a small complaint, all things considered. This isn't really for the Hardcover but the eGuide so can ignore it if you don't care about the eGuide part. They tried to be fancy with the eGuide and, personally, it really back fired on them and hurt them a lot. Not only can you NOT download the eGuide as a PDF or other format to read offline for those of us who have a horrible internet connection and have to do a lot of things offline or with sporadic connections. On top of that rather awful concept, it seems that they have made it so can't scale the guide with mobile browsers. Have tried it on 2 different Kindle Fire HDX Generation Kindles as well as my android phone and the pages simply do NOT allow you to zoom in any way, shape or form. Now this wouldn't be such an issue if prima simply had a settings option in their My Account Settings somewhere in order to adjust their eGuide pages. They could include options of changing text size, color, font type face, change the background behind the text and photo's to something darker than just a bright white background in order to help save battery power for mobile devices. I get that the eGuides are only $10 and probably shouldn't expect Prima to do much support for them I guess but considering there are rather decent/amazing free user made guide websites that offer those kinds of options and more usually for no charge at all? I don't think us buyer's would be asking to much to get those kinds of options for a PAID for product(even if it is technically a freebie with this guide). -1/4 Star Due to this just being for their eGuide and not anything really ground breaking, just thing's I really would like to see implemented in order to make the eGuide a lot more user/mobile friendly than it is in it's current state. Overall I'd recommend this guide for any Legend of Zelda Guide Collector or even for the casual player if you can get it at the $23 price range. They already have a big DLC bundle out for the game though and you may want to ait for a revised edition as I am not sure if the guide as it is currently covers any of the newly released DLC for the game if you are wanting the guide for a 'Complete Walkthrough' of the game and you end up purchasing the DLC. If anyone would like pictures of certain things in the guide in order to see what I am talking about above let me know with a comment. Hopefully amazon's fixed their notification's on those as I haven't been notified of them in the past.

Don't have Hyrule warriors legends, but they don't seem to have a guide for the Definitive Edition on Switch. This has helped a bit when getting stuck on getting everything on Legend Mode and the Adventure mode maps it includes (doesn't have some maps like Koholint or Grand Travels). Since it's for a technically different game, I still get stuck on occasion (gold skulltula locations are sometimes different once in awhile, for example). It's not the guides fault, so I won't take off a point for that.

This guide is very helpful and can get you out of tough areas. It has also tips on unlocking the characters, weapons, gold skullutas, etc. Dynsty Warriors fans should buy this guide if they enjoy this hybrid of a game.

Guide was extremely useful in helping me find all weapons and heart pieces. Also was extremely useful for adventure mode by telling me optimum way to pass each mission with an A rank.

I bought this book for the switch version of the game but almost everything in adventure mode wrong but if you need it for the 3ds version it’s perfect

Für Videospiele benötige ich kein Lösungsbuch, ich hol mir auch so gut wie keine Anleitung aus dem Netz, denn ein Spiel ist dazu da, um es zu lösen. Natürlich gibt es einige Dinge, auf die kommt man persönlich vielleicht gar nicht. So wird dieses Lösungsbuch, wie jedes andere auch, bei mir ungeöffnet im Regal landen. Das Buch macht einen hochwertigen Eindruck mit einem sehr soliden Cover. Da das Buch 448 Seiten umfasst ist es auch ein etwas dickerer "Schinken". Außerdem bekommt man zum Kauf einen kostenlosen eGuide dazu, damit man nicht immer das Buch zur Hand nehmen muss. Alle Informationen zum eGuide befinden sich im Buch, denn zum Kauf gab es keinen Code oder ähnliches. Bisher war ich auch mit allen Prima-Büchern zufrieden. Wie die Qualität der Seiten ist bleiben dabei unbewertet. Muss ich eigentlich noch dazu schreiben, dass das buch komplett in englischer Sprache ist? Nein, dann habe ich das jetzt trotzdem einmal gemacht :-)

Acho Q pra ser perfeito, o guia precisava de mais artes conceituais e mais detalhes nas explicações dos itens. Algumas coisas foram tiradas diretamente do jogo... Então... Pra Q um guia? Tirando isso, é um item obrigatório pros fãs da franquia Zelda

Después de mucho tiempo por fin pude obtener la edición del juego, la cual a pesar de no abarcar lo que contiene la Definitive Edition en Switch, no podía dejarla pasar como buen fan de la saga TLOZ, llegó en perfectas condiciones cómo esperaba.

tres beau guide pour hyrule warrior sur 3ds de nitendo bien illustré belle couverture rigide guide très complet collector magnifique

I brought this for my daughter who has the game on her DS and Wii U. We can use the guide for both games. Lots of pictures but also words so if your struggling to locate an item or what to do, it's very helpful.
