The Legendary Editions collect full arcs of the manga, each of which puts its own spin on the mainline games in the franchise, including Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, and Oracle of Ages/Seasons. The series features the work of Akira Himekawa, a manga tag team duo who work under the aliases of A. Honda and S. Nagano.
Like other manga published by Viz, each volume reads from right to left, but these Legendary Editions are larger than the average pocket-sized paperback manga format and feature eye-catching covers and color inserts. A Link to the Past fans should also check out the official graphic novel for $17 (was $20). The series originally ran in Nintendo Power in the early 1990s. The book loosely follows the plot of the game, offering a wildly different interpretation of the SNES classic.
The Legend of Zelda: Legendary Edition
You still have plenty of time to read through the original Zelda manga series before the box set for the Twilight Princess manga launches on September 24. Also written by Himekawa, the Twilight Princess manga features 11 volumes totaling over 2,000 pages. The box set comes bundled with an exclusive double-sided poster.
While these Legend of Zelda manga releases give fans a new way to experience Link’s many adventures, Zelda will soon be starring in her own game, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. The game is the first Nintendo-made game in the series to feature Zelda as the main playable character, turning the familiar Zelda formula on its head and having players strike out on a quest to save Link instead. Echoes of Wisdom is set to launch on Nintendo Switch on September 26, and preorders are available now. You can get an adorable acrylic display with your Echoes of Wisdom preorder from Best Buy. The gold Hyrule Edition Switch Lite is also still available to preorder.
