Regarding this revision in Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Hyrule Castle#Gaining_Entrance, I tend to disagree with moving the more basic references to Gold Skulltula into the sidequests section. To a certain extent, the Gold Skulltulas are just as important to progressing through the game as heart pieces. But more importantly, I don't see the rationale for its removal. I don't think that the walkthrough was too cluttered before, and it can be helpful for a user to gain an understanding of good order of events to completing a game. One of my favorite walkthroughs is The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Official Strategy Guide for GameCube by Brady Games [1] which contains three sections which lends themselves well to The Wind Waker's style of gameplay. It contains a general purpose walkthrough, a list of sidequests and special items, and an Island Tours section which breaks the game down into all of its distinct locations (islands) and summarizes all of the special actions/items that occur there. I have not seen any strategy guides here which are currently organized in this fashion, but I find this very helpful when trying to gain full completion of a game, and I believe it lends credence to presenting information in as many ways as possible rather than eliminating repetition in a strategy guide. --inarius 11:18, 9 March 2006 (PST)

You make a good point. I was actually the one who added the very Skulltula section that I removed. I was second-guessing myself. In any case, I was basically concerned about redundancy and the main quest vs. the side quests. I thought perhaps the main quest could be followed in the main section, with reference to the side quests. But since I have no strong opinion on the matter, I thought I'd delete it and see what the community thought.--Abunai 19:55, 9 March 2006 (CST)
