Zelda Manga. After 35 Years it's Finally Fully Translated: Hyrule Fantasy by Ran Maru from One Pack Comics

EDIT - UPDATE: The good scans are down from Archive.org because Viz sent out a removal request for a bunch of "Zelda manga" even though a lot of the things they got removed (via a process that does not require proof) are not things they, or their publisher, owns. So anyway, for now they're not posted there but you can find the old scans here: https://historyofhyrule.com/publications/manga_loz_en/

Yep, after 35 years, it's finally been translated into something other than Japanese. I was going to format this to make it a little easier to read but we're going through a medical emergency in my family so I decided to just go ahead and get it posted sooner than later. I'm excited that this volume will probably get an ebook release in Japanese soon and that everyone will be able to support that release since they'll now be able to read along with it. Hopefully, if sales are good, they'll release it in an physical book format or maybe even localize it into other languages. Until then you can find large pages here, or the small pages to read along with, here, with the first few already having been translated into English a few years back. We will not be adding the new text to the pages this time though. Since it's probably going to be re-released, I'm actually going to take my scans of it down as soon as the ebook of this is 100% confirmed. This is so I can keep my site on the good side of publishers and also because I really want to ask you to support the actual release. I'm hoping that, by being able to read it in a language you'll understand, that it will help encourage more sales, which always encourages more book releases and future works. This is what my friends and I did with the Akira Himekawa manga and Hyrule Historia, and everyone supported sales then, and look at how well that has gone. Let's keep that up and hope that we can do something similar this time around as well.


The translation was done by the absolutely wonderful Kaialone for History of Hyrule,, who I cannot thank enough. I have longed for this for what feels like eons and it has been absolutely incredible being able to finally read it thanks to them. They have now moved on to doing the next volumes: The Adventure of Link, volumes 1, 2, and 3, by Ran Maru, which are a direct continuation of this volume. EDIT: Here are the English translations for Adventure of Link volume 1volume 2, and volume 3.


I've left the Japanese text to help you know which text bubble you should be on. Someone is also working on translating this into Spanish as well.

Princess Zelda...

Do you still refuse to speak


Ganon:

トライフォースのありかを

of the Triforce's whereabouts?!



Zelda:

何度たずねても ムダです

No matter how many times you ask, it is all in vain.


Zelda:

I shall die before I reveal it to you!!

Though small, right now we still have the light of hope.



Ganon:

希望だと!? ふんっ!!

Hope? Hmph!

今のハイラルに いったいどんな希望が あるというのだ

And just where would one find even a shred of hope in Hyrule now?

Old Master:

そうか インパ殿は なくなられたか…

I see... So, Lady Impa has passed away...



Old Master:

かつてこのハイラルは

小さいが 豊かで

美しい国じゃった

This land of Hyrule was once a small,

yet wealthy and beautiful country.


Old Master:

それというのも

「知恵」と「力」の

2つのトライフォースに

守られていたからじゃ

You see, this was because we were protected

by the two Triforces of 'Wisdom' and 'Power'. 



Old Master:

ところが 大魔王ガノンが

トライフォースを 狙ってきおったのじゃ

However, the Great Demon King Ganon

sought the Triforce.


Old Master:

1つは ガノンに奪われてしまったが

今 1つはゼルダ姫の機転で やつに奪われずにすんだ

One of them was stolen away by Ganon,

but he could not claim the other, thanks to Princess Zelda's sharp mind.

Old Master:

姫は そのトライフォースを8つに分けて

どこかに かくされたのじゃが

その場所は だれも知らぬ

The princess has split the Triforce

into 8 fragments and hid them somewhere, 

but none know where.



Old Master:

怒ったガノンは 姫をとらえ

何とか その場所を 聞き出そうとしておる

Angered, Ganon captured the princess,

and is trying to find out the whereabouts of these places somehow.



Old Master:

もし トライフォースが

2つとも ガノンの手に渡れば

このハイラルはおろか

If both of the Triforces

were to fall into the hands of Ganon,

not just Hyrule...



Old Master:

世界中が大魔王ガノンのものとなってしまうじゃろう

...but all of the world would soon belong to the Great Demon King Ganon.


Old Master:

そうなる前に

Before this happens...



Old Master:

トライフォースを集めるのが旅のお方…

A traveller must gather the Triforce fragments...


Old Master:

These are also from the princess.



Old Master:

トライフォースを手に入れても

ガノンを倒すには

力をつけねばならぬぞ

Even if you obtain the Triforce,

you will not be able to defeat Ganon

unless you become stronger.



Old Master:

ガノンと戦うべき時はその剣が教えてくれるじゃろう

The sword shall tell you when the time to fight Ganon has come.


Link:

で ガノンはどこに!?

So, where is Ganon?!



Old Master:

デスマウンテンの城じゃ

At the castle on Death Mountain.


Old Master:

However, none in Hyrule know

where Death Mountain lies.

Looking at this, it seems like an ordinary sword,

but there's no way you can defeat Ganon with that.

How about this one?

This is a White Sword.

It's a steal!

New High Resolution Scans of the Link to the Past Enix 4-Koma (Manga) Vol. 2

Edit: I now have the 600dpi scans posted on archive.org

I've started scanning the 26ish volumes of Legend of Zelda 4-Koma and I'm actually going to post large versions of it, which I usually don't do, but it's only because I think the chances of it having a market to be republished are pretty slim. I'm trying to make sure I support publishers but, also, it's a shame something disappears because it's been unavailable for decades so I'm trying to figure out the balance there.
 
This volume is "The Legend of Zelda 4 Koma Gekijou # 2." It's an anthology that was published on February 28, 1993 by Enix.  ISBN4-87025-707-6 (Japan) and it's solely for A Link to the Past.




Any translations will be posted to this Flickr album for now. 

I am super sad these never got popular. They're so awesome! I've had small scans of most of the pages on historyofhyrule.com since 2002-2004 and I haven't even seen so much as a meme from them. And they are so meme worthy! Only 1 out of roughly 26 Zelda 4komas have been translated. If you would like to translate this, even just sections of it, please go ahead and let me know! 


If you use these pages please always link back to the main website though, so people can find more information and rare materials, or even help me find more!


Here are examples and info on the other 4koma, they're for the games LttP, LA, OoT, MM, WW, OoA, and OoS. I will be scanning all of these the coming weeks.


What is 4-koma?

From Wikipedia's Yokoma Entry:


Yonkoma manga (4コマ漫画 "four cell manga", or 4-koma for short,) a comic-strip format, generally consists of gag comic strips within four panels of equal size ordered from top to bottom. Though the word yonkoma comes from the Japanese, the style also exists outside of Japan in other Asian countries as well as in the English-speaking market.


Structure:

Traditionally, Yonkoma follow a structure known as Kishōtenketsu. This word is a compound formed from the following Japanese Kanji characters:

Ki: The first panel forms the basis of the story; it sets the scene.

Shō: The second panel develops upon the foundation of the story laid down in the first panel.

Ten: The third panel is the climax, in which an unforeseen development occurs.

Ketsu: The fourth panel is the conclusion, in which the effects of the third panel are seen

Spanish Scanlations of the Promotional Ocarina of Time Himekawa Manga

These are so well done that I'm in awe. Find all of the pages on one of their sites at either MangaDexLectortmo, or Facebook and be sure to follow them!

Didakos, of the Spanish-language scanlation team, Ghosty Guys, contacted me a little while back asking for help finding better scans for the Cagiva Link's Awakening manga and to ask if they could translate the LA and LttP scans Miloscat and Ragey had made, as well as this OoT manga that was originally translated from Chinese to English by Onichild of ZeldAnime. They just finished it and have done such a spectacular job with it that I can't wait to see what they do next! Seriously though, their editing of the complex images for the SFX and text bubbles seem spotless. Someone hire these guys professionally!

The Dopest Link Art I Have Ever Personally Seen

 


So majestic. It's from a tips and tactics guide and I hope you can forgive me for that title but I could not help myself. There are endless things I could say about this newly discovered piece of Zelda art... wow, just wow... lol. PBAndAwesome found this in his grandmother's attic and posted it to twitter and then Chris Fergason realized he had it too and DM'd me images of the cover and pages, below, featuring the Zelda coverage. Thanks guys, you absolutely made my day. I'll get them added to the gallery and publications section in the near future.

In the meantime, another piece of... glorious... Zelda history, saved yet again!

Things we are getting new translations for and what we really need translated/edited. UPDATED

Updated as of 2023/02/03:
I am not as good at keeping track of things as I use to be so I realized I needed to make a little list here of our progress. This should also help anyone who is interested in translating or editing something.


Finished translations that I need someone to clean and edit the text into. Please don't do these if you don't have really nice skills but feel free to start working if you do. Just send me an email at melorasworld@gmail.com so I can make a note of it here that someone is working on one so it's not getting done twice

  • Hyrule Fantasy children's book
    • I'll try to remember to get these uploaded but otherwise just email me for the files if you want to work on it.
    • Translation: historyofhyrule.blogspot.com/2021/05/
    • Translated by Sergei the Sage, scanned by me but donated from Mases collection (Zelda Dungeon) I need someone who is incrfedibly good at repairing images because I want this to be a top notch job.
  • CYOA: Adventure of Link
Things we really need translated: (that are already scanned)

Japanese to English Translations that are currently in the works:

Being translated into languages other than English:
  • Legend of Zelda/Hyrule Fantasy by Ran Maru
    • English, Spanish, and Russian
  • Link's Awakening one-shot from Corocoro Bessatsu
  • Link's Awakening by Ataru Cagiva
    • Spanish 
  • Gamebook: Adventure 13: LoZ an Original Version
    • Apparently it has already been translated into Russian

Being Typeset, no more work needed:

Hyrule Fantasy Board Game, Fully Translated into English, and Playable on Steam

 I can't believe I forgot to post about this here back when I posted about it on Twitter.


If you want to play it for free on Tabletop Simulator, find that here!

If you would like to download it to play manually, here's the link to all the files! 

If you would like more information about playing this, find all of that in this thread, here.


Update: If you would like to 3d print the Link figures from this board, Keshi Corner has scanned them and has the data you need uploaded. Find it from this link. Or from this file




First, you can probably guess why I've always been on the look out for this: This board game for the original Legend of Zelda, Hyrule Fantasy, has some of the most amazing art. It's basically a crime they didn't make a piece for every enemy in the game. When I was working on the LoZ1 gallery I tried really hard to track it down and, luckily, thanks to Sergei the Sage, I eventually found it. Alberto, who did the original editing and cleaning, was kind enough to send me the cleaned up, high resolution, images. He didn't send me the original scans because the person who originally made them is a collector and didn't want the completely authentic images on the net because they could be used to flood the market by allowing people to make perfect fakes. So we found a perfect middle ground: he sent me the images that already had the text edited out. So much less work for me, not having to clean things myself, and Alberto was a master at the work he did. I haven't added the images to the gallery yet, because the translation project took precedent, but I should be doing that soon.


As far as I can tell, here's where the credit lies. Over at Boardgame Geek, on this thread:

Evan Derrick originally organized the project
Bastian Baum perhaps continued the project
Gliiterberri translated the game
Alberto Vitali did the image cleaning and editing

And a lot of other people helped! It looked like a big group effort that I truly appreciate. 

Tabletop Simulator Screenshot: 



Play newly translated Zelda games that have never been available outside of Japan!

This is really awesome, beyond awesome actually. So in the 80's and 90's there was obviously a lot of Zelda merchandise in Japan that never came out anywhere else. Including some physical games, like board games, and we've never been able to experience them. Until now. A while back my amazing friend, and Zelda collector extraordinaire, linksliltri4ce, and I decided we would pool our resources together and get some stuff done. She scanned some of her rare collection and I edited them to make cleaner versions of the game pieces using the official art gallery I've amassed. Well, now it seems that Steam user Hitotsumami has found, translated, edited, and programmed some of these games via Tabletop Simulator and has uploaded there them free to download. Links below. So what are these games?





Translation of the bonus dice mode of the Barcode Battler Legend of Zelda game. The Barcode Battler itself is not necessary.


This game also has some really great enemy art that Beno donated to the site ages ago but can't be found anywhere else.  Like this piece of Ganon.



Party Joy Guidemaster Series #6 - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past


This is a board game recreating the experience of playing the first half of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It goes up until the point wherein you reach the portal between Hyrule and the Dark World. However, this is not a mere game. In addition to that, you can use this as a sort of strategy guide for how to play the video game itself.

The game begins from the point where Link has rescued Zelda from her cell in Hyrule Castle and has delivered her to the Sanctuary. To defeat the High Priest Agahnim, who is trying to sacrifice Zelda in order to open the seal to the Golden Land, you must first acquire teh Master Sword. To that end, the priest of the church has instructed you to first go to Kakariko and visit the Elder Sahasrahla. Putting the Sanctuary behind you, you begin your adventure.

Small bonus: There's actually a 3rd game, but it's a really short and simple one:


This comes from a pencil board set with stickers that were cut out and used as tokens.



This is all so cool, I hope you enjoy them!

A small example of the work linksliltri4ce and I did:

8 Out of Print Volumes of Zelda Manga are Going to be Re-published! (Updates)

Update 2022-04-17: Yes, they are taking a while but the publisher is still releasing issues every month as promised. 


There's so much info below but first: I want everyone to make a really big push to see all of these localized in other languages by the publishers. I led that same kind of push for years, from History of Hyrule back in the early 2000's, to make that happen with Akira Himekawa's manga, and then over a decade later, when we got word Nintendo was finally going to be doing a real artbook, I worked so hard, and led an even bigger fan effort, to get the hype and interest going to get that localized in the US and other languages as well. They did and it ended up topping the best selling charts on Amazon and the New York Times. (It even beat out Twilight for a while.) Job well done, everyone!


And here's the reason: if these do well then other companies that produced a lot of old Zelda manga, like Enix, will hopefully be encouraged to do ebook releases of their out of print content too. We need to make that happen! If these do well publishers might even pay more artists to do more Zelda works. So let's get hyped about it again guys and when these drop let's hit the ground running.


To do this let's do what my friends and I did for the Himekawa manga and Hyrule Historia. Let's get some translations done so we can all read along with the books when they come out, then write all the companies like Nintendo, Viz, and Darkhorse about getting the rights, start campaigns, and when those Japanese ebook sales jump up because we pound that "buy it" button: I will bet you they'll do it.


This also means I need help finding translators. I have 600dpi scans made specifically for translation, they are not for distribution though and are not posted publicly right now. I have generally only hosted pages on the site that are large enough to comprehend but not big enough to discourage people from wanting actual copies if they become available for sale. More on that needed translation help below.

Example of the scans for translations


Now, back to the meat of it: One Pack Comics, also known as "Wanpakku Comics" or わんぱっくコミック, was a serialized monthly manga magazine that I believe ran from 1985 to 1989. As far as I know, in it's history, it produced 3 different Zelda series for Hyrule Fantasy, (the original Legend of Zelda,) and the Adventure of Link. I'll post info on them below. They were collected into 7 volumes, with the 8th and last volume of Ran Maru's Adventure of Link manga never officially being turned into a book because the publisher closed right after the artist finished. Those last 7 issues, that would have been the final volume, can only be found online because someone Xeroxed the pages from the final year of the magazine to make extra copies. And thank goodness they did even though they're not great. Someone else later scanned them. If you've seen the popular GTV Japan YouTube video, it's using those same scanned Xeroxs that I've had on my site for around a decade. (By the way, I love his videos. I do technically disagree with how he interpreted the ending though, we had a nice conversation about it, but you know how fans will have different takes: I just think SPOILER it's clear Zelda comes back to life at the end and that it's part of the main story, not tacked on. The Salamander that dies in the same place her body falls into, comes back at the end, with the same flute that fell in too, and then we see a female with Zelda's stature come out of that same lake .Link threw the Triforces into it as well. It seems very clear to me what happens)


I have been trying to track down those 7 magazine issues for around a decade now. Here's the covers and info on them. (I do still want them.) The ever-awesome Zelda collector, Ikhana, was helping me find them, (she actually found April's issue for me and I was able to buy it, it's being shipped as we speak. She's so good at this!) but in the process she found a press release from August 12, 2021 that stated Tokuma Shoten Publishing Co., Ltd. (株式会社徳間書店, Kabushiki gaisha Tokuma Shoten), One Pack's parent company, was going to be re-release all of the manga at a rate of roughly 5 issues a month (mid month) starting on August 16th. Which was just a few days ago. You will be able to purchase these ebook volumes on these platforms:

  • Kindleストア(Amazon)
  • 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
  • BOOK☆WALKER
  • honto
  • ブックライブ
  • コミックシーモア
  • ebookjapan
  • Renta!(パピレス)
  • DMMブックス

The first 5 volumes have been released, as promised, but they are not for the Legend of Zelda, they're just some of the many other works One Pack supported. But I am happy to see it's really happening. I'm not sure when they'll get to the Zelda ones, but it's promising to see that they're already rapidly releasing things. Again, they will release 5 volumes in the middle of every month.

Out of those stores I'm only familiar with Amazon.jp. To find the ebook releases you'll want the keyword わんぱっくコミック (One Pack's name in Japanese) or just use this link.

Now, what are the 3 Legend of Zelda series to expect, the 8 volumes:


My all-time-favorite Zelda manga is in this batch. A total of 4 volumes it was created by Ran Maru and ran from 1986 to 1988. It starts with one volume for Hyrule Fantasy/The Original Legend of Zelda and continues on with 3 volumes for the Adventure of Link. (The last one was the one I was talking about that was not collected into a book though.) One of the reasons I love it is for how the personalities of Link and Zelda are portrayed. They remind me of what I actually want from the games. The 2nd reasons is for all the firsts in this series: It's the first time we see things that appear in later games. A few small examples would be: Link with hot pink hair, Link riding into battle on a giant bird, his spin attack, and we even see Zelda using magic to transform into a male character in the intent to fool Ganon's minions to buy time while Link is missing in action. And the series is dark. It's actually very very dark.



The 1st chapter is in English.

UPDATE: FULLY TRANSLATED!!



The first chapter is in English! But we need to have the rest finished

UPDATE: FULLY TRANSLATED
but being revised, I do not have it yet





FULLY TRANSLATED!!


Now for the other 4 volumes:


The Adventure of Link, Volume 1, by Daisuke Shigoto

This is a pretty amazing work. While it has some original elements it's acts as a game guide for the Adventure of Link. It's really worth checking out.

WE NEED A TRANSLATOR FOR THIS
Someone was translating this with my scans for another site but it looks like they're MIA 



This is a continuation of volume one, it was just taken over by a different artist.

WE NEED A TRANSLATOR FOR THIS




The Legend of Zelda by Kobayashi Susumu
This is one volume that covers the whole first game and even acts as a complete game guide. The art in this is actually really good, this artist also did work that appeared in official Nintendo publications. 

WE NEED A TRANSLATOR FOR THIS

Again, I would like to try to find a translator for each volume if possible, to get these done quickly. I do have 600dpi scans to help you read them and we just need to make a script so people can read along with the eventual ebooks. Contact me if you have actual experience translating from Japanese to English.
melorasworld@gmail.com

And after this: We have around 35 other volumes of Zelda manga, 4koma, and novels that still need to be translated! I'm not kidding! There's so many no one has ever done.

Follow me on Twitter @historyofhyrule if you want the most current news and updates.
And I'll be on a backpacking trip on Monday-Wednesday so forgive me if I can't respond until then.

New English Translation: LttP Manga-short: Quark and the Fairy Queen by Toshihiro Ono


 A while back I posted about this super rare one-shot Link to the Past manga that @miloscat found and got online. I cleaned it up a little and with the help of Horseypope they've now translated it into English and gotten the full translation online. So check out their site and find out about it here!


In the meantime, I know it looks like I haven't been doing much but I promise I've been working hard, I can't wait to post more!

UPDATED 2022-06-06. The 60+ Out-of-Print Zelda Publications I'll be Scanning to Preserve


Hey everyone! I'm still looking for people who would be willing to help translate the old Zelda manga and maybe even the Japanese novels. The truth is that it's harder than it looks so, if you're not advanced, it's going to wear on you. But it's tragic some of this hasn't been translated for 35 years now so, if you think you can help, please contact me at melorasworld@gmail.com

So, anyway, I know it looks like I haven't been doing much since the tail end of May 2021 but that's only partially true. In the summer I do take off from civilization to backpack in the wilderness but, in the downtime, I've been connecting with other fans and helping get material to people who need it for their own projects and connecting with people who are helping with some of History of Hyrule's. There are so many amazing people out there that we have a lot to thank for and I can't wait to share more about. I also did a guest spot on Sacred Realms Podcast where we talked about Zelda art, it was so much fun, be sure to check them out. I've also started making more archival scans of all the old Japanese publications.

Here's a list of what I'll be scanning that I'll keep updated! This is DONE!

I'm told they went out of business right after this so it was never collected in a volume like the others. I'd pay around $400 for each issue. Contact me if you think you can help me, the internet in general, find and preserve this rare piece of history. I currently have February and April's issues but need the other 5.

Other Scans I've made:

Other Guides: I have more than a few I'll be fully scanning but they're last on the list because, besides the art, it's usually just game help information in them. But it would be nice to have them preserved regardless!


This is an example of what I'll be doing when I say archival scan project:

An old 600dpi scan from the site:


New 600dpi scan with pages removed from the binding and a dark backing to prevent image bleed-through:
The binding glue on many of the old books is falling apart, so this isn't particularly painful to do, but the deeper tears near the binding are where it has turned into a concrete resin and absorbed the paper into itself so there's a little bit of patching that needs to be done.


Repaired image:


Further cleaned and almost complete:
