Zelda: Legendary Edition – Omnibus re-release of the Zelda manga
In the past, Nintendo has asked several authors to make manga based on the various games from The Legend of Zelda series, but none of them is as famous and popular as Akira Himekawa. This duo of mangaka have written one for several games, including Ocarina of Time, Oracle of Seasons / Ages, or more recently Twilight Princess.
Here’s the list of Zelda manga published so far:
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (2 volumes)
- The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (1 volume)
- The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (1 volume)
- The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (1 volume)
- The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords (2 volumes)

- The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (1 volume)
