Na Breath of the Wild kon ik het niet weerstaan om toch maar eens de manga van Legend of Zelda een kans te geven en ik was aangenaam verrast. Ondanks dat het soms toch een beetje moeilijk volgen was en het verhaal een beetje gerushed voelde, was het een leuke ervaring.

I picked this up at a library sale for a couple bucks. I am not a manga loyalist, in fact the only manga I've ever really read were an adaptation of James Joyce's Ulysses from Manga Classic Readers (a deeply weird experience) and The Pits of Hell by Ebisu. But, I am a huge fan of the Zelda series. In particular, Ocarina, Majora's Mask, A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening (especially the new remake/remaster), and Breath of the Wild. I have always thought that Ocarina had one of the strongest and most adaptable stories and have always held out hope for a live action film/series. But, I always knew the problem was that Link is a silent protagonist. So, I hoped with this manga to get a sense of how a film might adapt the material. For the most part it does a good job of hitting the important story beats and adjusting the story when necessary to increase dramatic tension or shorten the narrative. But, in doing this it loses a bit of the sense of exploration that makes the Zelda series so special. So, it was cool to dive into the story again but I missed some of my favorite parts of the game. I think the best type of adaptation of Zelda would be like the Game of Thrones Model, a longform series focusing directly on the whole Ocarina of Time story. This would leave time for exploration and some world building, the two biggest lacking points in this adaptation.

Long story short read this manga.
This manga was amazing. I was skeptical at first because I love legend if zelda and was worried they how they would translate it to manga form. Long story short they did it perfectly. They gave link a personality that perfectly described what it is to be a kid and an adult. Kid link acted like a kid. He was wild, head strong, and care free. He went on this quest and acted like how you thought a kid would.
Adult link on the other hand faced harder challenges and acted.more level headed. He acted like a hero and had no fatal flaws as like the game.
The manga inuded aot of main and side characters and gave them all stories. The stories may not have been 100% faithful to the source material; however, it gave the story and its characters added dimensions and ultimately worked for fleshing out tbe story.
Here comes the spoiler. An example of fleshing our characters would be volvagia the fire dragon. In the game you would think it was just a random boss. In the manga, volvagia was a friend to kid link.and Ganondorf made it evil. Link had to battle.with himself on how to kill his friend to ultimately free him.from the curse.
