Nice! When it says VIZ released "10 volumes" does that mean they didn't release all of them (i dont know how many volumes there are all up)? I wonder if these new volumes will get an english release

This should be great! It's been a while since the duo's done a "realistic" Link... wasn't their last one the one about ALttP in the early 2000s?

Gotta wonder why this is the first manga based off a home-console-Zelda in ten-eleven years, though, since Majora's Mask. How come one wasn't done for either The Wind Waker or Twilight Princess? (Midna would've been even more tsundere!) Was it simply that the two creators weren't commissioned to do those games? Or did the artists have some preference for doing Four Swords and the Minish Cap.... over TWW & TP? Confused

Thats cool. I've read every single Zelda manga from this author, so I'll read this one when Viz licenses it.

There was one for Wind Waker, but it was a ton of 4-komas. They kind of followed the plot of the game, but they where all jokes. I liked that one better than any of the other manga adaptations because it was more than just the game in a different form. Plus a lot of them really made me laugh. Smile
