Take ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', turn it into a graphic novel, and you get ''
Most of the manga are written in Japanese and have been fan-subbed on the internet for people to read, like at [http://www.zeldalegends.net/index.php?n=manga Zelda Legends]. Official English translations have been released, one every few months, since 2008.
Line 12:
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker]]: Link's Logbook'', a collection of humorous Yonkoma (4-panel strips) rather than an adaptation.
Not to be confused with the [[The Legend of Zelda (comics)|''Zelda'' comics]], produced in 1990 and 1991 and based on the two NES games in the franchise.

== General ==
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]
Line 35:
* [[This Cannot Be!]]: Some villains when they're defeated in the adaptions made by Akira Himekawa.
* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]: The adaptations made by Akira Himekawa seem to admire this trope. Link calmly declares this to Ganondorf in Part 1 of ''Ocarina of Time'' after being forced to kill his old friend Volvagia in order to free him from Ganon's curse and awaken Darunia as the Sage of Fire. He also shouts this at Agahnim in ''A Link to the Past'' as he absorbs his magic with the Master Sword and sends it right back at him after he sends Zelda to the Dark World encased in a crystal as part of a sacrifice ritual to open a portal to said realm itself.
* [[The Wise Prince
== The Legend Of Zelda - Yuu Mishouzaki ==
* [[Action Girl]]: Zelda (or rather, Little Zelda), at least up to her inevitable capture. Even then, she doesn't go down without a
* [[Adaptational Attractiveness]]: Impa is decades younger then she was in the source games.
* [[Adaptational Badass]]: Zelda. She received quite a bit of [[Xenafication]].
* [[Bloodier and Gorier]]: Let's just say that the demons don't eff around. The manner in which Pell and Gray's parents died is ''horrific''.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]:
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: The character designs are wildly different from any game version of the characters. Link is considerably less heroic then in other adaptations and in the games, and he doesn't wear his iconic tunic (instead he wears overalls). {{spoiler|Link is a half-elf. Link and Zelda are brother and sister.}}
* [[Eye Scream]]: So much, it occasionally looks like [[Berserk]] with different main characters.
Line 61:
== [[A Link to The Past]] - Multiple Versions ==
* [[Cursed with Awesome]]: In the Ishinomori version, Roam has come to accept and even depend on his beast form (a hawkman) to aid him in battle. Ghanti in the Himekawa version doesn't mind her beast form (a wolf or fox, it's hard to tell), either. Link himself has a noticably better form in both compared to the game's
* [[Dark World]]: The [[Trope Namer]] world of ''[[A Link to The Past]]'', of course.
* [[Death by Adaptation]]: {{spoiler|In all three manga adaptations, Link's uncle remains dead at the end of the story and is not revived.}}
Line 109:
* [[Legacy Character]]: The Master Sword's guardian is strongly implied to be a hero from centuries in the past who had previously wielded the Master Sword.
* [[Named by the Adaptation]]: Link's uncle is given the name Zanji in the manga.
* [[
* [[The Rival]]: Rasuka was always fighting duels with Link since they were children and even when they go on a quest to save Hyrule together, they still end up competing against each other.
* [[This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself]]: Rasuka and Leader walk in on Link's fight against Agahnim, but stand aside to let Link fight Agahnim himself.
Line 122:
* [[Blood Knight]]: Master Drona, the Hinox warrior, fights Link for the enjoyment of fighting.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Felicia, the [[Tsundere]] [[Fairy Companion]]. She's another Canon Foreigner fairy companion that predates Navi. There are also several original villains like Karuna, the Moblin swordsman, and Master Drona, the Hinox warrior.
* [[
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: There seems to be a G-rated equivalent of [[Did You Just Have Sex?]] during a [http://www.otakuworks.com/view/87922/the-legend-of-zelda-links-awakening/vol-01/read/140 dialog exchange between Link and Felicia]. Of course, that isn't what actually happened, this is a Nintendo game after all.
* [[Girl Next Door]]: Interpretations of Marin in the game range from exotic islander to girl next door, the manga goes heavily into a girl next door interpretation.
Line 206:
* [[Prequel]]: The ''Majora's Mask'' manga includes a bonus story illustrating the creation of the titular mask.
* [[Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory]]: Link and Tatl are the only ones to experience it.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Mikau's grave has the epitaph,
* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]: Link's reaction to Majora's Mask vagabonding the Skull Kid after he said the mask was his only friend, calling him worthless and trying to kill him. To put this in perspective, Majora's Mask gives Link the Fierce Deity's Mask (going by it's Japanese name the "Oni Mask") and tells him to become the oni a game of tag (Japanese terms for someone being "it"), and he agrees to the idea without a second thought.
* [[Tsundere]]: Tatl is a Type A example, as she was in the game.
Line 240:
== [[Four Swords]] - Akira Himekawa ==
* [[All There in the Manual]]: Why don't all four Link's colors match with the personalities associated with those colors? (Blue is normally a calm color, but Blue Link is anything but.) If you had read the author's note in the second volume Himekawa's ''[[Ocarina of Time]]'' manga (published 6 years before), you would know that the authors saw the computer-controlled Links of each color in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' as behaving the way the same color Link does in their Four Swords manga.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Link's father. This is the only manga where Link's father is still alive.
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Possibly Vio , though from Shadow Link's point of view, he probably seems more like a [[Manipulative Bastard]].
Line 250:
'''Arrow Pointing to Blue's tunic''': "Blue"
'''Blue''': Rats! }}
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: Done with a twist, given that the illustrations are all black and white; the colored Links are identified by their color in name only and address each other as Green, Red, Blue, and Vio (short for
** Also, a different texture is used for each Link's tunic. (For more on how to tell them apart, see [[Twin Desynch]] below.)
** In addition, there are differences in their eyes.
