It's okay dude. I also bought me (along with the game) the official AlbW player's guide. The Desert area stumped me too so I had to use the maps available in order to know where the hell to go. My primary concern was whether or not I needed them for the dungeons. Turns out I don't since they are relatively short. Even if you have to check out a walkthrough give the game another shot. After you finish it then you can decide if you liked it or hated it. It was okay by me, however the reuse of the dark world (which was destroyed in AlttP cause it was of Ganon's creation) should not have been in there.
