Summary: Remedial
Comment: This is a VERY light book with VERY little in the way of artistic instruction. It looks like it was made on a copy machine.
Child was psyched but after 20 min it was over and she was back to copying things herself from the actual art.

Summary: My kid likes it!
Comment: The book covers a step by step on how to draw, but did not cover a lot of the characters in the game

Summary: Not Good for Older Fans or More Serious Artists
Comment: Remember those how-to-draw books you picked-up as a kid? Like, how to draw cats, dogs, cars, trees, or whatever? This book runs in that genre. The book is very short, and was meant for children roughly 9-12. It plays heavily on the "make it out of basic shapes, and then refine it" technique. The first steps usually involve drawing different sets of triangles, circles, or rectangles, which eventually lead to the character you're drawing. The "finished drawings" aren't so hot, usually done with very thick lines all around. As said, this is better for kids. It is, however, worth picking up at the library and taking a look at, if you want. If you do like it, after sampling it, then sure, buy it. ;D
The best way to learn to draw Zelda characters, currently, is through learning anime or cartoon-animation styles of drawing, and then using official Zelda art as reference when you draw those characters.

Summary: Great guide for learning atonamy, but it is NOT intended to be a kids book; it is for serious artists
Comment: I'm not a kid, I'm just too lazy to sign up for amazon.
If you've ever used a How to Draw disney book, you'll recognize the similar steps here, which is a good thing. But to those who have been complaining that it is too complicated for kids, read this: Bambi and the Little Mermaid weren't drawn by kids, and niether was Zelda. Furthermore adding to the ridiculousness of these aruments is that Zelda isn't even a kid's game to start with, it's VERY violent. Back on topic, It takes a serious artist years to learn these techniques.
This is a very nice drawing book for those interested in the characters. But be prepared to practice for many months. That's what it takes to draw cartoons, unlike portraits.
