The comics pictured here
are manga books created
by Himekawa Akira for
various Zelda games.
The Majora's Mask comic
follows the story of the
game to a "t", but it
adds an interesting
sidestory concerning the
creation of the mask
itself. According to
Akira, the mask was
grafted from a monster
all alone in the world.
He wished for death, and
a traveller made him
dance until he died from
exhaustion. The corpse
was used by the
traveller to craft the
mask, which retained the
evil spirit that was
once embodied in the
monster.
The Oracle of Seasons
comic takes place before
Oracle of Ages. Link is
living with his
grandparents in Hyrule,
and his Grandfather has
traditionally pushed him
to become the next Hero.
Link, however, is more
interested in
exploration and
adventure. While taking
the Knight's Test in
Hyrule Castle, Link
stumbles upon the
Triforce, which whisks
him away to the faraway
land of Holodrum. The
story progresses from
Seasons to Ages like it
would in a linked game,
and finishes in Ages
with a final showdown
with Twinrova and Ganon.
The prologue to this
pair of comics makes it
hard to place the story
between A Link to the
Past and Link's
Awakening as is
traditionally done.
These comics haven't
been officially
translated or released
outside of Japan, but
they pop-up on eBay now
and again for around
£15.
