The Legend of Zelda manga is back in a new Legendary Edition, this time covering the Minish Cap & Phantom Hourglass video games. Starring fan favorite Link incarnation ‘Toon Link’, the fourth volume will take readers into the pseudo sequels to of Wind Waker.
The Legend of Zelda is a manga adaption of the video game franchise of the same name, it is written and illustrated by Akira Himekawa & published by Viz Media. It is currently available in English.
Toon Link makes his long awaited debut in The Legend of Zelda manga adaption. Taking place within the Minish Cap & Wind Waker’s sequel Phantom Hourglass, Akira Himekawa takes the manga’s original dark tone to a much lighter note.
THE GOOD: Akira Himekawa does an almost seamless transition from dark to light tones with the different adaptions of The Legend of Zelda manga. While there is some not so light moments, the Minish Cap & Phantom Hourglass are some very clean friendly manga experiences with some enjoyable content for Legend of Zelda fans.
THE BAD: While it’ll be mostly fine for the average reader, some might not get used to the different art direction of the latest manga entries.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Akira Himekawa completes another fun entry into The Legend of Zelda manga series with Minish Cap & Phantom Hourglass. Toon Link is a fan favorite character who’s well adapted into the manga, but some readers might take a bit of getting used to from the art direction change. Otaku Dome gives The Legend of Zelda Legendary Edition Volume 4 a 83 out of 100.
