Generally, anime adaptations of video games have a poor reputation. While there are some solid series like Gungrave and Canaan, there are also truly bad ones such as Green Green and Mars of Destruction. However, you don't often hear about manga adaptations of video games. So, what happens when you adapt one of the less prominent entries from one of Nintendo's major franchises into a manga? You end up with something that's actually quite entertaining.
Story: 5/10
The story is essentially a manga retelling of the plot of The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, condensed into 10 chapters. This means a lot of content is omitted, and it feels like they missed chances to include more fight scenes in the dungeons that were cut.
Art: 7/10
There's not much to say here. It's pretty much what I anticipated. The art style is cartoonish but still somewhat pleasing to the eye.
Character: 7/10
I'm not very familiar with the other characters since I haven't played much of Oracle of Seasons (I just haven't had the chance to play more of the game), but Link is exactly as I imagine he would be (if he could talk, obviously).
Enjoyment: 8/10
If you enjoyed the game this manga is based on, you'll likely find it at least somewhat enjoyable. And surprisingly, Link talking in this version isn't as bad as you might expect—it's definitely a vast improvement over the CD-i games where he speaks.
I haven't been a big video-game fan since I was 14 years old, but Legend of Zelda has always held a special place in my heart. Even after I stopped playing games, Zelda continued to appeal to me as a grand fantasy story, and Link has always been one of my favorite archetypal heroes.
I've never understood why Zelda hasn't gotten a TV series—either animated or live-action—or even a movie. I'd bet money that this franchise could be a massive success in other forms of entertainment. So, when I discovered the existence of a Zelda manga, I couldn't have been happier.
I read the first volume, which is what I'm reviewing here. And it's not that great.
Story and Characters:
The story is very straightforward. Link, the young hero, leaves his grandparents' house for an adventure. If you're a Zelda fan, you'll notice it's quite similar to the plot of the SNES game, *A Link to the Past*. However, unlike its obvious inspiration, there's an overly childish tone that detracts from the experience. It's not the kind of intelligent children's plot that engages deeper thinking; rather, it feels like something generic and hastily made for kids.
I personally enjoyed the pacing (a short story suited to the manga format), but the characters left me unimpressed. They seem like a strange mix of Hanna-Barbera-style children's shows and cheap fantasy novels aimed at kids. Perhaps they resemble the early Zelda games before *Ocarina of Time*, but even so, they lack charm. It's disappointing that such a charismatic series like Legend of Zelda couldn't deliver compelling characters in a manga adaptation.
Art:
The art is simple and functional, fitting the style of a children's manga. The artist is clearly talented, and the first few colored pages are genuinely delightful. The rest of the artwork is good but not exceptional.
Overall:
It was somewhat amusing to read, but mostly just... okay. There's nothing particularly memorable about it, but it might be worth a read for children or hardcore Zelda fans.
