The Legend of Zelda: Tips & Tactics
Information: Copyright: 1988 Nintendo? -- Publisher: Hideo Ogata -- Published By: Tokuma Shoten Publishing Co., Ltd. -- Editor: Masayoshi Suzuki -- U.S. Editor: Howard Phillips with Lynn Griffes -- U.S. Version Producer: Tsutomu Otsuka |
Description:
This booklet was released as a supplement to "The Legend of Zelda." Sold
separately, it offered more detailed descriptions and strategies than
what was given in the game's manual. This is more than just a walkthrough:
it's like a more detailed instruction manual.

Zelda 2: Link no Bouken - Futabasha Guide
Information: Copyright: 1987 Nintendo -- Publisher: Futabasha -- ISBN4-575-15075-4 -- 96 pages + 2 inserts -- Sold for 360 yen |
Description:
This is a Japanese guide, published by Futabasha, which covers Zelda 2: Link no Bouken.
It has names, art, and descriptions for all items and enemies. It covers most
of the game and even shows the ending! There are also two inserts showing maps of Hyrule.
I'm not sure if this guide is official, but it looks like it uses official information
when it can. (It looks like they drew some of the enemies themselves when no official
art was available.)

Kamigami no Triforce - Nintendo Official Guidebooks
Information: |
Information: |
Description:
Those silly Japanese thought it would be a good idea to release TWO guides for ALttP.
The green-colored one is the "Jou" volume, which can mean "first"
or "upper." The red-colored one is the "Ge" volume, which can
mean "last" or "lower." These guides actually have a lot of cool
information in them, like enemy names/descriptions and interviews. Hopefully these
will get translated some day.

Zelda Box - The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Fan Book
Information: Copyright: Enterbrain Inc and Nintendo in 2002 |
Description:
Only released in Japan, the Zelda Box came with this booklet, some little figurines, a map, and a music CD with twelve tracks. This booklet, which we've scanned here, featured a huge collection of exclusive Wind Waker artwork, interviews with the Wind Waker development team, a history of the Zelda series, some guides for tWW, and probably a bunch of other things I am unaware of. Very interesting collection of stuff, all told.
