While browsing Amazon UK today, I came across something very interesting: volumes 3 and 4 of the upcoming Zelda manga! Yes, it looks like Viz Media are planning on releasing Volume 3, which covers the events of Majora’s Mask, set directly after Ocarina of Time, and Volume 4, which will jump through time and introduce us to a completely different Link as it covers Oracle of Seasons. This seems like pretty good confirmation to me - unless someone at Amazon HQ was bored and decided to photoshop the books’ covers perfectly, I’d say they look quite legitimate. They will be released, according to Amazon, on February 3 and April 7, 2009 respectively. In the meantime, the first two volumes, an adaptation of Ocarina of Time, will be released in early October and December. I’ll be sure to let you know when the first volume becomes availible (as manga is often sold earlier online than the street date)!

Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh. Precious Zelda manga, leap into my pockets! I can’t wait! Although… 2009 sounds kinda futuristic… sad how fast the year’s been goin’ by, oh well.

dang

Weeaboos rejoice.

Zelda manga is no less Japanese than the Zelda games.

Yeah, I had seen the MM manga on the US Amazon a while back, but I didn’t know that they were planning to release the Oracle books next. Interesting tidbit to know I guess.

Wow.

BTW, on the manga front, I wonder when Akira will finish the PH manga?

Actually Espy it makes you way more weeaboo.

I don’t see why you should criticise a Zelda fan for wanting to seek out more obscure parts of the fandom, even if it’s *gasp* Japanese. Like the rest of the Zelda franchise.

General Salt, please stop abusing the word “weeaboo” just to insult us. There isn’t anything wrong with liking Japanese culture. How come people make fun of you if you really like Japanese culture but not, say, Italian culture? It isn’t different, and if you’re a Zelda fan… you already like something Japanese, but that doesn’t make you weeaboo.

@ General Salt,
no u

liking manga =/= weeaboo
flipping out over what direction you read it = slightly annoying
SUPAH KAWAII DESU ^W^ = weeaboo

SO DOES LIKING TACOS MAKE ME WEXICAN

lol w/e nerds enjoy not getting laid

Also
>using Anon as your name
>not on an Anonymous website
gb2/b/ you unfunny man you

1. At least anon is a cooler name than General Salt
2. 4chan sucks
3. I am a woman
4. Get off a Zelda site if you hate Japanese stuff so much.

Also, sorry to Espy for participating in the loldramas. I am looking forward to the Zelda manga.

1.No. No it isn’t
2. Yeah, it does. It’s still a way better place to discuss things than most forums. Also if you haet 4chon so much why is your name Anon?
3. Nobody gives a shit
4. But I lyk the vidya

…WHAT? Wait, hang on, what does the name “Anon” have to do with 4chan??

General Salt appears to be under the delusion that anything 4chan makes into a fad is something that 4chan invented. Like the word Anon.

Salt, stop flamebaiting. People outwith the message boards don’t yet know that the best response to one of your posts is no response, so don’t go looking for trouble.

It was invented there, but it sure as hell popularized the word.

AND FINE ESPY I’LL GO TROLL GAMEFAQS. THESE NEWS POSTS SEEM PRETTY SRS BSNS.

Zelda manga is no more Japanese than the Zelda games.
