Do you use a guide?

Some people just like the satisfaction of saying "Hey, I didn't need any help with that puzzle/dungeon." It's the challenge.

I don't cheat on Zeldas pretty much ever. I do like the satisfaction of playing the game and saying stuff that makes me a miniature idol. But I have my moments of shame, my most recent cheating took place on OoT when I got frustrated with losing to the Dark Link mini boss and looked online for answers on the quickest way to beat him. I felt guilty, but not entirely since last time I cheated was too long ago to remember.

I don't use guides, but I do collect them. The Twilight Princess guide is really pretty.

Every now and then. Only if im suck.

I've only used one for Zelda OoT, because I couldn't even pass the Forest Temple.

I only use guides to get the extra things. I like to beat the games without assistance, but to get 100% I use the guides.

I use online guides to get extras.

I do for collectors purpouses.

I never use a guide for getting all the extra stuff, but if I have spent lots of time trying to figure out whatever it is, I use a guide. I've never used a guide on TP, for both the storyline and extras. It's too easy to have to use a guide, even for extras. But, I have used a guide for Ocarina of time, when I got really stuck. Though that was only once. And I used one for PH, in the last temple. But that's about it...

I just use a guide when I beat the game and I'm trying to get the extra stuff.

sometimes...like on the nes zelda cuz there soo confusing to me

i only use one when I'm stuck and I've spent an hour finding it out,like the water temple when i didnt know there was a blue block thing behind the thing for the longshot

I only get a guide right after finishing a game completely. After getting ever single thing. Then after I get the guide, I look over it & see if I missed anything.

For the mainstream game i try my best not to, but sometimes i just cant figure out certain temples. As for the extras, of course i use a guide! I did not use a guide for the temples of Oot. However, it took me FOREVER to beat that game. Especially that god forsaken water temple. Like beccathestrange said, i did not know anything existed behind the longshot. My freind gustaf said there had to be something there to get me into the snake shaped room. So i used people to help

the last game i actually used a guide on was MM when it came out. but i was like, 8 back then. havent used one since.
