Very disjointed, but some of the art was pretty cool.
- This story should have been stretched over a couple volumes. It rushed a lot.
- I want more details about Ghanti's history. She was the most interesting character.
- This was not my favorite Link and Zelda design. The artwork was okay, but I like other character designs better.
- There was part of the book that was telling and not showing, which was really weird for a graphic novel. I understand that they were trying to get through a bunch of dungeon stuff, but still.
- I feel like the story was misnamed. It should have been a A Link to Dark and Light or A Link to Two Worlds.
- Is Ganon's true form a pig? He is usually in pig form when I see him, but I know he has a gerudo form sometimes too.

This book, which is based on A Link to the Past, was very well written. This does follow the story very well, though it introduces a new character. This new character was a great companion to Link in the book. I also really like how they addressed the different temples in this book. It did go really fast at that point, but I did like how they weren’t left out entirely. I also loved how this book really dug into the lore of the dark world and incorporated it very well into the book. Really no criticisms of this book.
I thought my nostalgic love of this game would translate into me enjoying this manga, but it's far too rushed for my taste, especially in the second half. I have higher hopes for a Majora's Mask manga, as it won't have to contend with the sheer number of dungeons that this volume needed to gloss over. The art is great and fans of the game series will probably find something to like here, but I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone.
I enjoyed this one more than I did Majora's Mask. The authors chose to condense certain parts of the story and expand on others, and I thought they did a good job. Interestingly, the seven dungeons are both condensed and expanded; they're all summarized in less than a page each, but each boss actually gets its own small backstory that adds to the story as a whole.
The manga is its own entity aside from the game, but it does a lot in terms of world building and characterization. I particularly liked that Agahnim got a backstory. I feel like I actually understand the game better now that I've read the manga.
I also feel like I got more accustomed to reading manga by the time I got through this one.

Premetto che, pur conoscendo i personaggi principali, non ho mai giocato a Zelda nelle sue varie versioni, quindi non posso dire se il manga estratto dall'episodio A Link to the past sia aderente o meno al videogame.
Il manga non mi è piaciuto granchè; all'inizio non prende molto (ma questo accade con molti manga e molti libri), poi ad un certo punto la narrazione diventa piuttosto veloce, purtroppo non nel senso che il ritmo si fa serrato, ma che tutte le avventure e gli incontri di Link divengono un elenco per niente sviluppato.
Ci troviamo di fronte ad un'avventura con elementi classici: l'eroe cresciuto all'oscuro delle proprie origini e del proprio destino, naturalmente l'ultimo discendente, in questo caso dei cavalieri di Hyrule; la principessa da salvare; la missione come crescita e viaggio, soprattutto in se stessi e verso le proprie origini (tema, questo, per nulla originale, ma sempre interessante e vincente).
Mi è piaciuta molto l'idea del regno delle tenebre, e della punizione inferta agli avidi; il finale, purtroppo, sembra quello di una storiella.
