**4.5** The Legend of Zelda is my all-time favorite video game series, so when I saw there was a manga for Ocarina of Time, I knew I had to read it. I can guarantee that I’ll be reading the rest of the series because this brought back so many memories of my favorite video game!
Breath of the Wild is one of my favourite games. I have fallen in love with the story and the beautiful world of Zelda, and I bought this manga as soon as I discovered it. I never played Ocarine of Time, but the illustrations are so beautiful and the narration is so smooth and clear that the story was so easy to enjoy. I read this in one sitting! It was really interesting to get to know Link's origins and how everything began, and his interactions with Zelda were so cute...and he talks!! It's so cool to finally get to know his thoughts and his feelings!
This made me appreciate the world of Zelda even more, and I love the fact that Breath of the Wild is so coherent and faithful to the original story/game, and this manga helped me to understand and appreciate BOTW even more.

A beloved friend of Link’s from when he was younger is under mind control by the villain and Link is forced to kill them. It causes both characters a lot of grief. This is all contained within that chapter though and not built up to before hand or mentioned afterward.
I had to wait to play Ocarina of Time until my family had bought a wii, by then all my friends were on Gears of War. Still I remember watching my friends play the game and I remember how much I enjoyed playing the legend of Zelda games. Unless the reader has never played any of the video games it will be impossible not to bring these biases and memories to the book and for that reason reading the book can sometimes be a let down. Repeating the same experience over and over again ingrains a particular narrative, so when this book alters the plot-line of the original Ocarina of Time it can feel off.
Still, this book should be read by anyone with an appreciation for the Legend of Zelda Universe. I'm not a huge fan of Manga, but this book was a beautiful read for the way Link's character is developed and the way the world of Hyrule is fleshed out.
The Legend of Zelda is quickly becoming a new-age myth, a story that's being passed generation to generation. And like myths each version of the original tale is altered to fit new tastes. This book is directly inspired by the original video game, but it tries to do what ever new iteration or the series tries to: remake and rebuild the world and hero. It succeeds.

Wonderful, beautiful, and nostalgic for me. I love the fact that they gave Link a voice, and I love the voice and personality they gave him!
While many of the sequences from the game were somewhat rushed, I really liked how they gave Link a companion for each one. Also, some of the supplementary stories were very welcome and added some interesting perspective on the main plot!
