Hand-Drawn Game Guides was a series of Strategy Guides, including a The Legend of Zelda edition. A Kickstarter was aborted after legal threats from an unnamed company, following which there was announcement that "Hand-Drawn Game Guides as we currently know it is done". However, the completed books were made available for free online, including the Zelda book.
