Zelda; 8:56 hours

I have spent 9 hours playing Zelda this week and I wonder if I would be nearly as far as I am without the guidebook for help. I'm wondering if I'm losing some enjoyment in the game by relying on the guidebook so much; but on the other hand, I would miss so much that I would never notice without the book- so maybe I'd breakeven. For example, I could never find those golden bugs, let alone know I was supposed to be collecting golden bugs without the guidebook. I think for this week, I'm going to ease up on the book; let's see how long that lasts.
