Other Zelda Comics

OTHER ZELDA COMICS


Today, I'll be covering two remaining comics that didn't have that much to them, so I might as well just combine them. First is an Ocarina of Time comic published by Nintendo Power in 1998, a four chapter comic acting as a prequel to the game and detailing how Link became an orphan raised by Kokiri. His parents are the main stars, but all action shown is either mostly off screen (see: his father's death) or just fleeing through the forest while holding a baby (see: his mother's death), neither of which are that conducive to Smash movesets. The second is a little five-page Skyward Sword comic published by Penny Arcade and written by Mike Kahulik. There's not much to it that's not in the original game.

Here's what we've got so far:


Characters:

Link: kick, sword, sword beam, pillow, magic pouch, swing, shield, lasso, springboard, wind whistle, power bracelet, force field ring, surf on shield

Zelda: punch, reflect with a pan, grow with magic, launch from a tree, bow, boomerang, crossbow, raise on Triforce, ice, fire, shields, lemons, banana peels

Sprite

King Harkinian: water park, CDi games rep?

Impa

Ganon: teleport, lightning, summon enemies, bombs, fire, chains, crystal ball, suction, control jewel, capture staff, wand of power

Goriya: Possible catch-all for enemy representation here, as it is the most prominent enemy type in the show that has not yet gotten a moveset. If so, staff, bone bow, capture staff, bomb, frog transformation, boomerang, giant magnet.

Prince Façade: horse, shield, crossbow

Sing: Pegasus, leap, sai, sai beam

Sleezenose: fake sword, lockpick, beehives, bee catapult, box of bees

Doof/Automaton: automaton, animate, bear hug, broom, fake Moblin

Witch of Walls

Water Monster: splash, flood, snake, crab, fish, tentacle, lightning

Captain Krin

Bagu: pick up

Queen Seline: magic, frog transformation, jar that steals magic, horse, wand as weapon, defense, tennis

Roam: sword, crossbow, eagle form, silver arrow, angel, fire corn, Epheremelda


Stages:

Zelda's Castle

Ganon's Lair

Water Park

Calatia


Thanks for reading! Now, I think we'll cut it here and do a character run before moving on to the manga, because let me tell you, we are in for a treat. The manga are so much fun.
