A different take but awesome nonetheless!Jul 23, 2009
I've been a huge fan of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time when I first saw my brother playing it over ten years ago! Whenever I see someone with an N64, I always ask them if they have the game. I actually stumbled upon face details from this manga a very long time ago, thinking they were fan created or something. Turned out it was a doujin (fan-based creation) artist who actually got commissioned to get his take published.
Though the manga strays from the story, or mixes things around, from time to time; it is still truly loyal and even adds some things! The art is fantastic and true to the art style of the game. I just feel like the temples are a little rushed, or the pacing is kinda funny. I truly think this manga would have done better if the writer stretched it over to 3 volumes to give the temples and stuff a little more room.
Anyway, awesome manga! Awesome art! And Zelda!
I Absolutely Love This Entire SeriesJul 17, 2009
Will there be more books in this series, because honestly I'm almost finished with volume4?
It's awesome!May 15, 2009
At first I was hesitant to buy this for my son due to the "manga" style. However, we looked up and learned a bit about mangas first, which made it even more interesting. My son is six and a big reader, though we read this together due to the right to left confusion for him. He's read the first two so far and LOVED them both. He adds, "Soooooooo awesome!"
If you're 11, this is tops!Mar 12, 2009
I haven't read it, so don't take this as my endorsement. But if you are 11 (like my son), this is TOPS! He has already read Zelda bks. 1-3 and is begging for more. Given that he'll never pick up any other kind of book (besides the How to Train Your Dragon series), I am all for it. Anything that gets them to read.

For Zelda fans and casual manga readers alike!Jan 21, 2009
Volume 2 culminates the story of the manga adaptation of the highly successful videogaming hit, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. If you just like manga, or enjoyed the story of said game, you'll definitely enjoy this book (which, in my opinion, delivers a better plot than the game itself, being a little more complex).
The plot and drawings, by Akira Himekawa, will really absorb you into a tale that does feel like Zelda. For fans of the series, though, it's a must-have.
