The Legend of Zelda: new manga by Akira Himekawa to be launched this year

If you’re a fan of the Zelda series, you’ve definitely heard of Akira Himekawa: it’s the name of a mangaka duo, who is behind the various manga adaptations of several games in the series. Their last manga for Zelda was the adaptation of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, in 2008 (though they did draw a prologue for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, published in the Hyrule Historia book).

And today, Akira Himekawa announced that the Zelda manga series was making a come-back later this year. The duo has already started drawing the manga, but they didn’t tell which game it was based on (though it’s quite likely The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes). Fans are invited to find out which version of Link will appear in this manga (toon, child, adult?)!

Here’s the illustration shared by the official Zelda account on Twitter:
