When I first got into Zelda I really couldn't do anything without a guide (I was super young) but nowadays I really don't need walkthroughs ever in Zelda

Ive used guides in Zelda games occasionally but very rarely. The only major offence was when I used a guide to play Zelda 1 from start to finish because fuck that game
Not using a guide however is often what leads me to stop playing a Zelda game, seriously can any of the NPC's in Wind Waker please tell me what Im supposed to be doing?? Sailing back and forth and going nowhere isnt enjoyable damn it -__-

I only used them on my first playthrough of some of the earlier games or if I'm going for 100%

I only use walkthroughs when games start wasting my time too much.

In the case of Zelda i won't resort to it unless i'm completely stuck on what to do.

I did recently use one for Catherine though. That game is sadistic and really not worth the effort of wasting hours upen hours dieing and trying again. I would argue no game is.

I have beaten the original Legend of Zelda, ALttP, Link's Awakening, and OoT, at least, without a strategy guide of any kind. For TP and SS I either had a strategy guide or I would consult GameFaqs or something. I tend to like to figure things out for myself, mostly.

TWW? The game marks in the map where to go...

I rarely read walkthroughs. I used to read the players' guides back in the N64 era (are they still prevalent among players today?). I mostly collected them.

You know that marker wasn't always 100% useful. There are times you couldn't understand what part of the area you needed to be. Even the noise and glow circle for treaures didn't help you out all the time. You heard it. But for the love of god. Did I float around a lot. It kept fading in and out. When I was just mer inches from it.

hehe I know, it was frustrating sometime...
