The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Comic)

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is a comic book miniseries by Japanese manga artist Shotaro Ishinomori based on the game of the same name. It appeared in Nintendo Power beginning in January 1992 and ran for 12 issues, ending in December 1992. It was later published as a graphic novel in 1993. Many portions of the game were omitted, and several new story segments were added to "preserve the elements of surprise and add to the dramatic flow. Several new characters are introduced, most prominently Roam, Epheremelda, and the librarian of Kakariko.

In this alternate version of the events in A Link to the Past, Link is beckoned telepathically by Princess Zelda to rescue her from Agahnim's clutches, and eventually from Turtle Rock in the Dark World. Although Link starts out as a simple, bumbling child, he gradually grows more confident about his abilities and succeeds in rescuing the princess with the help of the friends he makes along his adventure.

The comic was re-released on May 5, 2015 by VIZ Media.
