We also see more of Link as a person rather than just an empty shell. He kept the general theme of the game in place and then developed the world and filled it with people, which is better than the game did in some locations. Overall, Akira Himekawa did an amazing job on the story. Volvagia has an entire side-story with Link that is so moving due to what Link must do in order to save Hyrule. More than just in and out! Even with this, there is so much more depth to the characters, even “bosses” like Volvagia, have more to them than what we see. It’s just a personal thing that wouldn’t actually fit well in a manga version anyway, but fan-fictions could expand on the “dungeon” areas without writing the game bit-by-bit. The sense of time passing and “trials” that Link goes through seems smaller than in the games, but that makes sense. Instead of the various corridors and puzzles, Link tends to immediately get involved with the “boss” and defeat them then and there. One thing that I don’t necessarily like about the mangas, at least when comparing them to the video games, is the lack of work there seems to be in the “dungeons”. The manga does an amazing job developing Link as a character and developing his strengths as the Hero of Time. The Hero of Time was not invincible and he knows it and he voices his personal doubts. He’s not the perfect hero and there are a lot of times in the manga were he needs help, and wouldn’t survive without help. The silent hero speaks and that’s were some of his personality shines. I’m mean, for one: Link SPEAKS in the mangas! Why, yes you can! He’s more of his own person! It reminds of me of the thousands of fan-fictions I’ve read on Legend of Zelda were they’re retelling one of the games and Link’s personality blossoms. These games were meant to put the player in Link’s position, and with the mangas it just gives Link a bit more personality, which I love. What I really love about this manga series is that the original material is pretty fleshed out as it is and now the writers can add a bit of their own flare without damaging the entire series. The Legendary Edition is well made and the cover is gorgeous, while simplistic. It was a series I couldn’t stop reading online and now I’m so glad to be adding these to my collection. I would go through the Ocarina of Time mangas then go straight into the Majora’s Mask manga. The first time I read this manga, not the Legendary Edition, was when it was just online. There’s not a whole lot to really discuss about this manga other than the passion that was put into the work and the love for the fantastic video game series. 1: Ocarina of Time Parts 1 & 2 by Akira HimekawaĪbsolutely love this series, video game and manga versions! The Legend of Zelda: Legendary Edition, Vol.
