Back in the heyday of the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], [[Valiant Comics]] was authorized by [[Nintendo]] to produce the [[Nintendo Comics System]] -- comic book series based on some of their most popular game titles, including ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Metroid]]''. Naturally, given the popularity of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', this too was added to the comics lineup.
Unlike the [[Zelda Manga|manga adaptations]] which would be produced for the later games, the Valiant comics did not retell the stories of the NES games. The storylines were set in the Hyrule of the [[The Legend of Zelda (
Like the rest of the [[Nintendo Comics System]], the series only lasted for roughly two years. Copies of the comics are regarded by some today to be collectors' items.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]/[[Adaptation Expansion]]
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Unlike the games, which gave Link brown or reddish-brown hair in his sprite and manual art, the comics present him as a full-on redhead.
Line 17:
* [[Battle Couple]]: Whenever they fight side by side.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Threatening to harm Zelda is the fastest way to press Link's, as shown more than once.
{{quote|
* [[Big No]]: Link in "The Price"
* [[Canon
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Several, including Zelda's father and Link's family.
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Zelda behaves like one of these, about both Link and her father, in "Queen of Hearts."
* [[Combat
* [[Comic Book Adaptation]]: Naturally.
* [[Continuity]]: For a derivative work, the comics are remarkably faithful to the source material on many points.
Line 40:
* [[Ill Girl|Ill Boy]]: In "The Day of the Triforce," Zelda must choose between saving a poisoned child or defeating Ganon once and for all.
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Link's reason for helping Zelda leave Hyrule in "Missing In Action," despite his own pain.
* [[Love Is in
* [[Mirror Match]]: Dark Link returns to fight Link once more in "Coming Home."
* [[Missing Mom]]: Zelda's mother is not shown; however, in "Queen of Hearts," it's heavily implied that {{spoiler|Queen Seline of Calatia is actually her mother}}.
Line 53:
* [[Requisite Royal Regalia]]: King Harkinian makes Link the temporary King of Hyrule, in "It's Good to Be the King," simply by handing over his crown.
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Reversed in "Thief in the Night," when Bagu comes to visit and says he's heard all about Zelda, who is not amused to learn that Link told Bagu she was his girlfriend.
* [[Shout
* [[Smooch of Victory]]: As in the cartoon, Link is forever angling for one of these, but never gets it. It's much easier to sympathize with him in the comics, however, since he doesn't ask for a kiss in the middle of a dangerous situation.
* [[Standard Royal Court]]: The North Palace has one of these as its center of action.
* [[Ten
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Link and Zelda aren't married in the comics, of course (they appear to be in their late teens), but the general implication is that they will be someday. While Link isn't precisely ''ugly,'' he's kind of goofy-looking, and appears even moreso next to the beautiful princess.
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: As opposed to the [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] of the cartoon.
