These are from some almost impossibly-rare children's magazines and I am so excited to finally be able to see good versions of all of them because the art is incredible. They come from Shogokukan's magazine for 1st graders from 1992 and the Link to the Past feature ran from April to September.

I want to thank fellow fan, Sambyu / 旅人, for helping me so much with information on everything.

Linkabel/AbelMunizJr has been collecting them for a while and was incredibly kind when I asked if I could get some photos of them. Then, when they got some time, and a working scanner, they archived what they had for all of us. Eventually I was able to collect them all but I only knew about them originally because of him.
