BOOK INFORMATION

The Crystal Trap was written by Matt Wayne and was the ninth of twelve in the Nintendo Adventure Books series - first published on 15th November 1993 by Mammoth Books in the U.K and Simon & Schuster, a division of Pocket Books in the U.S.

Plot Synopsis

Imprisoned in glass!

The Evil Wizard Ganon casts a spell that encloses the Triforces in impenetrable crystal cocoons. Because the Triforce of Courage is in Link's heart, he becomes encased in glass. Princess Zelda must free Link so together they can defeat Ganon and save Hyrule.

As in all Nintendo Adventure Books, you control the action. Only you can make the choices that allow Zelda and Link to outwit Ganon and his foul army. Help them crack codes, solve puzzles, conquer mazes and subdue enemies. You, Zelda and Link must save Hyrule or go down in final defeat!
