I liked this manga. I've not experience a lot of The Legend of Zelda games, but from the few I have, I knew I was going to like it. I haven't played Ocarina of Time but I've always been intrigued by it. So when I saw the manga at my library, I decided to give it a read to get a bit of a taste before I played the game for myself.
I really like the plot. Definitely gives you old school fantasy vibes which I love. The artwork is gorgeous! I love how detailed each scene is. You really feel like you're in the world of Hyrule. There were a few things I did not like. The misogyny was a little too much for me. I didn't like seeing how "weak" each female character was or how they just threw themselves all over Link. And Zelda was shown to be a capable fighter... until Link was in the picture. Then she became a damsel in distress. It was annoying to read. Another thing I didn't like was have quickly the pace of the story moved. I know they have to capture an entire video game into a single manga volume, but it still felt a little rushed.
Even though I didn't love everything about this manga, I did enjoy the story. I think this is a perfect read for anyone who is a fan of the franchise. Reading this definitely made me want to learn more and experience the games for myself. I truly do think I'm going to enjoy them quite a bit.
