Line 9:
* ''A Link To The Past'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening (Video Game)|Link's Awakening]]'' (2 parts) by Ataru Cagiva.
* ''Oath of Lilto'', an [[Elsewhere Fic|elsewhere spin-off]] centered around original characters.
* Ten volumes by Akira Himekawa: ''A Link To The Past'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'' (2 parts), ''[[The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask (Video Game)|Majora's Mask]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda Oracle Games (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Oracle Games]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda Four Swords (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Four Swords]] [Plus]'' (2 parts), ''[[The Legend of Zelda the Minish Cap (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda the Minish Cap]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass]]'', and a prequel chapter based on ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]''. Currently published in the US by Viz, except ''Skyward Sword'', which is found only in "[[All There in the Manual|Hyrule Historia]]".
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker]]: Link's Logbook'', a collection of humorous Yonkoma (4-panel strips) rather than an adaptation.
Line 23:
* [[Courtly Love]]: Some of the stories, ''Ocarina of Time'' and the Himekawa ''Link to the Past'' in particular, depict varying shades of this between Link and Zelda. ''Four Swords Plus'' presents them with gifts of flowers and holding hands.
* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: Most of the stories depict Link as one of these.
* [[
* [[Fairy Companion]]: Navi in ''Ocarina of Time'' (as in the game), Tatl and Tael in ''Majora's Mask'' and Ciela in ''Phantom Hourglass'' (ditto), the nameless fairy in ''Four Swords'', Ephermelda in Ishinomori's ''A Link to the Past'', and Felicia in ''Link's Awakening''.
* [[Heroic Mime]]: Averted in most of the mangas, but used frequently in the ''Wind Waker'' 4-koma.
Line 33:
* [[Requisite Royal Regalia]]: Zelda is almost never seen without it (except, of course, when she's Sheik or Tetra).
* [[Suddenly Voiced]]: Link talks in the comics.
* [[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 Wise Princess]]: Zelda, whose wisdom is even sought and deferred to by adults when she's a child, such as Link's father in ''Four Swords Plus''.
Line 46:
* [[Eye Scream]]: So much, it occasionally looks like [[Berserk]] with different main characters.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: The King of Hyrule (along with many Hylians) hates elves with the fury of a thousand suns. {{spoiler|This is enough to keep Impa, Link's grandpa, and Kana from revealing Link's status as a Prince to the kid, as the King would most likely have him executed or worse.}}
* [[Half
* [[Heroic Bastard]]: {{spoiler|Link is born out of an affair by the previous Princess Zelda and Rune the elf warrior.}}
* [[Incest Is Relative]]: {{spoiler|Link has a crush on Zelda early on, however it turns out they're siblings}}.
Line 83:
* [[Fairy Companion]]: Epheremelda is another one of the non-canonical fairy companions that predate Navi.
* [[Gainax Ending]]: The ending was confusing to some people.
* [[Magic Mirror]]: The mirror from the game, which allowed Link to travel between the two worlds, is replaced in Ishinomori's version with the "Com[[Spell My Name With an "S"|(m)]]-Fork", a magical tuning fork allowing communication (but not transportation) between the Light and Dark worlds.
* [[Mission Control]]: Sahasrahla and co.
* [[OEL Manga]]: An early example from long before the term [[OEL Manga]] was coined. It differs from most OEL Manga in that it was drawn by a big name manga artist, [[Shotaro Ishinomori]]. One has to wonder how ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' managed to hire him to draw this comic.
* [[Peek
* [[Ret Canon]]: Although not the first [[Fairy Companion]], Epheremelda is the first to have the appearance of a ball of light with wings. Epheremelda only looked like this in distant shots and had a humanoid appearance in closeups.
* [[Reused Character Design]]: Like many manga artists from his generation, Ishinomori frequently gave his older characters new roles in later mangas. Cyborg 002 shows up with Hylian ears as a [[Canon Foreigner]] Roam.
* [[Sssssnaketalk]]: Zora.
* [[Steampunk]]: The hot air balloon Link uses the second time he sneaks into Hyrule Castle looks like it was designed by [[Dr. Seuss]].
* [[Talking in Your Dreams]]: After trekking from the desert to Death Mountain, and then sticking his hand into a [[Dark World]] portal, an exhausted Link begins seeing visions of Sahasrahla and Zelda. Link wonders aloud if these are mirages, but Zelda informs him, "We are in our dream ... If two people dream the same thing, they will meet." Link later wakes up on the ground in front of the Tower of Hera, thinking "That was a strange dream," but finding that [[Or Was It a Dream?|someone has bandaged his wounded arm]].
* [[The Rival]]: Roam, he is also trying to save Zelda and defeat Ganon, but he's very antagonistic towards Link.
Line 101:
* [[Annoying Arrows]]: At one point, Link's arm is pierced by an arrow all the way through, but this only leaves a minor wound that quickly heals.
* [[A Match Made in Stockholm]]: Link and Zelda meet when Link kidnaps Zelda to get her away from Agahnim.
* [[Bare
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Link and his uncle's friends Tou and Rasuka. Rasuka accompanies Link on his quest. There is also the leader of the Hyrulean Knights who serves as a mentor to Link and also accompanies him. When Link tries to pull the Master Sword out of its pedestal, a guardian spirit appears to test if Link is worthy to wield it.
* [[Cry Into Chest]]: Leader comforts Link after Link's uncle dies by having Link cry into his chest while shirtless.
Line 123:
* [[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.
* [[Distressed Damsel]]: {{spoiler|Surprisingly enough, not love interest Marin, but the fairy companion Felicia who is kidnapped by Moblins.}}
* [[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.
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Link likes the red-headed Marin.
Line 132:
* [[Master Swordsman]]: One of Link's fights is with Karuna, a Moblin master swordsman.
* [[Named By the Adaptation]]: The unnamed ghost in the original game is given the name "Nakura" in the manga.
* [[No Hugging, No Kissing]]: One of the rare aversions for this franchise. While there still isn't any actual hugging or kissing, the manga does play up the romance over what was present in the game if only because Link can talk.
* [[Showy Invincible Hero]]: Link in this depict, the only time the possibility of him losing is when his sword breaks and when he fights Dethel, apart of that he's presented as being pretty much unbeatable.
* [[Smooch of Victory]]: Madam MeowMeow tries to give Link one for rescuing Bow-Wow, but Link runs away in terror.
Line 151:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Compared to how much trouble he had fighting other monsters, Link pretty much owned Trinexx. Aside from parrying its fire breath with his sword, he didn't have to do anything other than hit it. Once. Even he noticed how Trinexx wasn't that strong.
* [[Dead Person Impersonation]]: Agahnim was a friend of Link's father who was killed by Ganon. Ganon then took Agahnim's form as a disguise.
* [[
* {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]]: Agahnim was genuinely good-hearted until Ganon's power fucked his mind up.}}
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Ghanti, who started off as a bandit before becoming Link's friend.
Line 157:
* [[It Was With You All Along]]: {{spoiler|Ghanti's earrings}} turn out to be the weapon they will need to defeat their enemy.
* [[Love Triangle]]: Ghanti the bandit cites this as the reason for her reluctance to help Link rescue Zelda.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Ghanti's name can also be spelled "Ganty".
* [[Stab the Sky]]: The Master Sword actually ''tells'' Link to do this after he draws it from its pedestal.
* [[You Are What You Hate]]: {{spoiler|Ganty hates the Hylian knights so much, she used to want to kill Link because he's descended from them. Turns out ''she'' was descended from the Hylian knights too. Learning that leads her to get over her hatred.}}
Line 169:
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: All of the main characters including Lilto and his friends.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Link and Zelda.
* [[Dolled
* [[Elsewhere Fic|Elsewhere Spin-off]]
* [[Expanded Universe]]: This is pretty much the only official Zelda manga that isn't a direct adaptation of a game and tries to expand on the Zelda universe.
Line 191:
* [[Shoot the Dog]]: {{spoiler|Volvagia was changed to be Link's childhood pet in the manga and Link's fight with Volvagia who has been brainwashed by Ganon is presented as a Shoot The Dog moment.}}
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: [[Zig Zagging Trope|Zig-zagged]] with Malon. Though at first she refuses Link's rescue in favor of waiting for her idealized "Prince on a White Horse", throughout the rescue begins to wonder if Link is her prince. [[Ship Tease|Just as she begins to consider romance with Link]], Zelda is brought up, and Link's reaction makes it clear that his heart is set on Zelda. Instead of moping about it, she gives up on that train of thought and carries on with her life.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: The manga provides an explanation to what happened to the Fairy Ocarina that Saria gives Link. After Zelda tosses Link the Ocarina of Time, Ganondorf attacks Link and attempts to take the Ocarina of Time from him. However, he grabs the Fairy Ocarina by mistake, thinking it to be the Ocarina of Time. He breaks it when he realizes it was the wrong one.
Line 207:
* [[Ripple Effect Proof Memory]]: Link and Tatl are the only ones to experience it.
* [[Shout Out]]: Mikau's grave has the epitaph, <ref>This only appears in the English and Italian versions, however; the original Japanese version was written before Guitar Hero's existence.</ref>
* [[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 221:
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: The ''Oracle of Ages'' manga adaptation may qualify.
* [[Demonic Possession]]: Veran's specialty in ''Oracle of Ages''.
* [[
* Expy: Raven, Link's ancestor, is one for adult Link form ''Ocarina of Time''.
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Link has a massive crush on Din in ''Oracle of Seasons''.
Line 236:
* [[Team Pet]]: Piyoko the chicken in ''Oracle of Seasons''.
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: It's implied that Ralph in ''Oracle of Ages'' hopes to be this for "my beloved Nayru," although it's not made clear whether he achieves this or [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]].
* [[You Monster!]]: Link screams this to Onox in ''Oracle of Seasons'' after he kills Piyoko as a chick.
Line 259:
* [[Evil Twin]]: Shadow Link.
** Also Blue, arguably.
* [[Five
** [[The Hero]]: Green
** [[The Lancer]]: Blue
Line 299:
** The elder Minish Librari is very proud of fighting a (to him) giant monstrous Cucco. [[Video Game Cruelty Punishment|Considering the general reputation that Cuccos have...]]
* [[Rebellious Princess]]: Zelda always tries to escape from the castle to hang out with Link.
* [[What Have I Become?]] {{spoiler|Vaati at the end.}}
