The Legend of Zelda, Vol. 1 and 2, Akira Himekawa

If you (unrighteously) missed the famous video game classic “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time” on the good ol’ Nintendo 64, then there’s still hope for you in the manga version of the “Game of the Century.” While staying true to the gaming roots, Himekawa adapts the original Ocarina of Time story into a sword-swinging comic worthy of its hero, crammed with the necessary fairy tale elements that charmed gamers to begin with. Just as the game progressed into two parts, so is the manga broken up into two volumes, one following child Link and the other, adult Link.

The manga is the perfect accompaniment for the gamers looking for more media with their favorite hero, but is still an enjoyable read for those who have never even heard of the game (for shame!). Kid-friendly while still engaging for teen readers, both volumes of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time are adventures of fantastic proportions.

Also don’t forget the original Zelda comic, which was published by Valiant after the original Zelda game.

This comic is recommended for Young readers, ages 10 and up.
