OTHER ZELDA MANGA
Today, we have about six other random Zelda manga that have come out over the years, which couldn't be attributed to one mangaka or were part of a continuous series. This includes the 1986 Legend of Zelda manga by Susumu Kobayashi, the 1988 Adventure of Link manga by Shigoto Daisuke, the 1993 A Link to the Past manga by Taguchi Junko, the 1993 Link's Awakening manga by Fujiaka Masato, the 2012 Ocarina of Time 3D manga by Ming Yukawa, and The Legend of Zelda: An Original Version, a 1987 alternative take on the original game written by Kitadono Mitsunori.
The first five offer up little special. They basically act as visual guides for the games they are based on, or quick little promotional pieces. "The Original Version" however, is a bit like the Mishouzaki stuff, where it takes a lot of liberties. Link is constantly accompanied by a young thief named Com, eventually revealed to be the comic's version of Impa, who can steal things, throw rocks, supply Link with potions, and even bites a tentacle at one point. Link himself can also freeze enemies in time, and they are also accompanied by a crystal bird named Cryckon, an avatar of the fairy Fonti. Ganon takes the form of more of a lion-man named Ganos, who wields a sword, breathes fireballs, breathes thick black smoke, and can trap people in jewels.
