LEGEND OF ZELDA BOOKS

Today, we cover all story-related books, all books with some form of narrative to them. All guides, manuals, Historias, and the like will come in tomorrow's blog. First up is Molblin's Magic Spear, published in 1990 and written by Jack C. Harris. It's a pretty simple story, of Link seeking magical water that will help him dodge a magical spear thrown by the Moblin (typoed as Molblin) guarding Zelda.

Then we have Link and the Portal of Doom, published in 2006 and written by Tracey West. This book takes place shortly after Ocarina of Time, when Link finds a portal in the Lost Woods that threatens to engulf all of Hyrule. Then we have Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages, both written by Craig Wessel as companion pieces for the games of the same name. And then we have The Crystal Trap and The Shadow Prince, both installments in the Choose Your Own Adventure series, which are pretty simple to understand. Then there's Ocarina of Time Pathways to Adventure and Zelda Box, both released as companions to Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker respectively.

You are going to have to forgive me on some of this because for quite a few, I have been able to find reference that the title exists, but have not been able to find a good translated version online, the wikis for them are not very forthcoming with a bunch of details, I can't just fill in the gaps on the images like I could with the manga, and some seem like they have original characters in them but I cannot dig deep enough to figure out if they do or not. These include Futabasha's trilogy Battle of Mirage Castle, Counterattack from the Darkness, The Count of Black Shadow, and an adaptation of A Link to the Past, as well as Keibunsha's The Legend of the Hero of Hyrule, and Takarajimasha's The Legend of the Dark Triforce. The best I can do at the moment is say that there are original villains across these named Gaia, Deor, and Jihad. I'm going to have to try and revisit them on one of my refresher runs if I can. I apologize.

Welp, I can't do much on names, so, we don't have much.

Thanks for reading! Next up, all of the various guides, manuals, and other such books throughout the series.
