Link’s Awakening received a manga adaptation a year after the original release. Ataru Cagiva gives us a much more personal take on the events of the game. For the most part, the events are the same, but there’s more dialogue; even our silent hero is given a voice! One of my favorite dramatized moments in…

Outside of video games, the Legend of Zelda series has branched out into other fiction mediums, including that of manga. Probably some of the best known, at least where I am in the United States, are the volumes written by Akira Himekawa. They have written a manga volume for almost every Zelda game entry. I…

In my previous Bombers’ Notebook entry, I wrote about one of my favorite Zelda characters, Vio Link, from the Four Swords manga.

From the moment Link washes up on the shores of Koholint Island, we know that Link’s Awakening is going to be a strange and weird game. The game takes Link and the player into a world of dungeons, caves, dreams, and nightmares, leading up to the final battle atop Mt. Tamaranch. This journey is not…
