Summary: good walkthrough; lacking in Nintendo Gallery collection
Comment: A commercial guide is used to help the player get through a game with minimal effort and meant as a time saving effort. It has to enhance the player's experience by giving clear, concise maps, listings of items, weapons, enemies, as well as divulge secrets hard to find on your own.
Doug Walsh suceeded in most criteria. In his walkthrough, he assists the player by placing accurate maps, marks the rooms, item locations and gives boss strategies. The sidequests section is equally choke full of useful strategies. A section by section of WW's 49 sections are given-a pull out 2-sided poster helps in your task of exploring the world of WW. In these, he has done an excellent job.
However, the Nintendo Gallery collection, easily the most daunting task faced by any Zelda fan, is not covered fully by him. There IS a complete listing of all the figures, but he does not tell you how to get their picture for ALL figures. To give credit, he did highlight the importance of taking Tetra's picture but the information about several key personal in Wind Waker being obtainable only in the second playthrough is WRONG. I managed to get all of them in the first playthrough. You can purchase them from Lenzo-no need to wait till your second walkthrough. Lenzo will offer you a Legendary Pictograph during different moon phrases-so just keepy playing the Song of Passing until you get them all. Information on hard to find NPCs and timing to take their pictures are also MIA. Some NPCs will never face you in the face-so how are you going to get that 'full frontal shot' as required? Others like the Kragaroc need to be staying still and not flying the skies for an effective shot to be approved. I learnt these through trial and error or got the missing information from gamefaqs.
Similiar to Metriod Prime scanning of enemies, in WW, you only get one chance to take pictures of certain characters and bosses. This information is also missing-making my second playing of WW compulsory if I am keen on completing my collection of figures.
In short, an good guide for anyone who don't want to complete the Nintendo Gallery. Perfectionists would have to look elsewhere.

Summary: Excellent Guide!
Comment: This strategy guide is excellent. The Legend of Zelda series has a tradition of complex puzzles and hidden items that are enough to drive even the most ardent fan batty while trying to play the game to the end. I long ago decided that I would rather be able to enjoy the game I spent my hard-earned money on than to curse it and its designers for my lack of insight. This guide is especially helpful with the side quests, although I might have asked for dungeon maps that weren't quite as confusing. As a bonus, you also get a complete walkthrough of the bonus Ocarina of Time: Master Quest disc. All in all, a great guide for a superb game. Well done!

Summary: I'm new with strategy guides...
Comment: I don't use a lot of strategy guides, so my opinion might reflect my limited experience. But when we (my son and I) couldn't figure out what to do next or remember what we had already done in the WindWaker game, I decided to get the strategy guide. This guide is very well laid out and gives you needed information without spoiling the game for you. Half the fun of a Zelda game is the storyline, and this guide does not give away important plot development. Though I was able to find important items located on each island without having to return to the location over and over again. (And it does take a while to sail around the world in that little boat!) I found the guide well thought-out and an invaluable aid in my 'virtual' quest.
Another person commented about the lack of info on the Nintendo Gallery. I must agree about that. Though I have found (in my 4th play-through) that trying to get all those photos is a huge and fun challenge. This is just an added feature to give the game replay value. If you are dead bent on getting the details on the Nintendo Gallery, do a search online.
Overall, I would highly recommend this particular strategy guide.
