Two new interviews with me about Zelda art and preservation!

These were both really fun! I'm pretty shy but it was nice to continue push myself to be more public. Both cover the same subjects, which makes sense because retro Zelda art and archiving would be what to ask me about, but both still feel vastly different and wonderful. They both had some great questions.


First, this is amazing, I'm in a magazine! I was interviewed for Nintendo Force Magazine, a spiritual successor to Nintendo Power. As someone who is deeply in love with books and other publications this feels utterly surreal. You can purchase digital or physical copies here.

Second is an interview for Tokyo Game Life. This is a beautifully produced podcast from the heart of Japan. You can listen to my interview, and find their other episodes, here. I hope you enjoy it, I'm pretty shy about speaking for recordings so I hope I did alright. It was really fun!

Added the Scan of the Original Painting of the Fairy for Hyrule Fantasy

I finally replaced the old image of this fairy with the utterly amazing and beautiful scan we have thanks to ArtofNP, he also heads the non-profit The Interactive Art Collection:

"Established in 2021, the Interactive Art Collection is a non-profit focused on the discovery, preservation, education, and sharing of original video game art."

This is the original animation Cel painting. It's beyond impossible that this piece of art was saved and made its way to someone who was willing to scan it for all of us. I can't thank Stephan Reese enough for being willing to do things like this. He makes fans dreams come true.

Here's his photo of it in Nintendo Power next to the original:

2400dpi Scans of the 1986 Hyrule Fantasy Bandai Board Game

You can find the high resolution files here and I will be adding more of this higher-res art to the gallery at some point in the future. I just need time away from scanning to clean it all. For now all I have updated is the boss cards. 

I also cleaned up Ganon's boss room and faked a card for him, so we could have a nice little set. Also want to thank JairulNait for scanning Aquamentus, because my set is missing his card. It is at 1200dpi though so, if anyone could get it for me at 2400dpi one day, that would be awesome!

2400dpi Scans of the Two-Tone Pages from the Zelda 2 Manga, Volume 1

This is the Monthly Wanpakku issue for March, 1987. I have only scanned the Zelda manga by Ran Maru but if you need info on anything else in the volume, please let me know.

I've been trying really hard to collect the color pages for these since they are incredibly beautiful works of comic art. I am so happy I was able to get this one, which is also the first chapter that starts the Adventure of Link manga after the first volume of Hyrule Fantasy (Zelda 1) manga. 

Before, because the novel is black and white, I thought the sun was just eclipsed. It's awesome to see a blood red sun or moon here. 

There is a translation for this manga if you would like to read it. You can find everything you need at this link.

My surgery went well! Turns out I had cancer

I should have posted a few days ago. I traveled to have a double mastectomy earlier this month, it's a major surgery to prevent breast cancer in high risk individuals, which I am because it runs heavy in my family even though we don't have the currently known BRCA genes. When I was having my follow-up appointment with the surgeon to remove my drains and check in, the pathology report came back and showed I actually already had a 2 cm lump of cancer. Imaging I had done twice in the past 5 months prior had actually missed it. The most amazing news is that the surgery got it all and I don't need any further treatment.

I'm glad I did this because I may have gone another 2 years without imaging, thinking I was cancer free. Interestingly 2 mammograms also missed my mom's breast cancer, which is one of the reasons I didn't trust them and wanted to do this.

Anyway, I had a lot of valid concerns before surgery and several surgeons had implied I shouldn't do it and there would be no benefit. So I looked around until I found one that I felt saw me as a person. But there were reasons I was still pretty concerned about it. I have an autoimmune disorder that makes the possibility of dying during surgery far more likely for me and it also makes infection more likely. I also went years without most of the use of my arms and was concerned that this could cause issues in them again. There was also a good chance I would not have felt well, in various ways, for months after the surgery. Currently it looks like all the work and planning I, and my doctors, put in to make sure this went well means I've avoided absolutely every complication possible and have been in practically no pain. Only the arm stretches I need to do hurt. But I took a total of maybe 6 Tylenol after surgery, and I'm not even sure I needed them- I mostly just wanted to help prevent swelling. 

This is wonderful not only because I feel amazing and now know, without any doubt, that I absolutely the right choice: but it means I can be back to working on the site! Which also brings me endless joy.

Zelda Story Illustration Scans: Shogaku Ichinensei 1992

TRANSLATIONS WANTED! If you would like to translate this, please contact me: melorasworld@gmail.com

These are from some almost impossibly-rare children's magazines and I am so excited to finally be able to see good versions of nearly 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. They're called "The Legend of Zelda, Link's Great Adventure." The artist is: Junichiro Saito / 斎藤純一郎 and I want to thank fellow fan, Sambyu / 旅人, for helping me so much with information on everything.

These are rare enough that I, personally, only own August at the moment. But Linkabel/AbelMunizJr has been collecting them for a while and was incredibly kind when I asked if I could get some photos of them. And now that they got some time, and a working scanner, they archived them for all of us. 


AbelMunizJr posted these on Twitter saying:

"Here are the scans for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past manga that was featured in Shogaku Ichinensei issues, from 05/1992[sic] to 09/1992. It seems I'm missing one issue, but I'm sure it will eventually surface.

Direct scans here and thread below: https://t.co/SIuZRu6UZc "

Here's what was in each issue:

• April (White Pages)
• May (Blue Pages)
• June
• July (Pink Pages)
• August (Tan Pages)
• September (Lilac Pages)

The Final Volume of the Twilight Princess Manga is Now Available in English!

 

I'm so excited for this. What a wonderful milestone! The final volume of Zelda: Twilight Princess manga by Akira Himekawa is out in English! (April 11, 2023.) There are 11 volumes total. And this only happened because fans & the artists pushed so hard for it for so long. Please support the amazing artists behind it & show publishers its, once again, worth listening to fans!

Thanks to my good friend, om_nom_berries/Louisa of Indie Zelda, for reminding me this was out today. I thought I pre-ordered it, lol, I guess I didn't. You can find it via VIZMedia through Right Stuf Anime or other bookstores

Here is a link to all 11 volumes on sale at TRS for $6.99 each.

(I have been ordering from then since before there was an internet, they're a great business to purchase through and are responsible for keeping a lot of anime from being lost to time.)

Volume 7 was out of stock with them when I last checked, I'm sure it will be back in stock soon, but you can find it on Amazon for $9.99 if you are in a rush.

I also can't lie: I have a little bit of humbled pride right now. I know I'm only a very tiny drop in the bucket but seeing a Twilight Princess Akira Himekawa manga happen was a big goal of mine & I spent a huge amount of time hyping, writing publishers, & pushing for it to exist. It was one of my big early efforts/campaigns. I'm so happy!

I do feel weird bringing that up though, but then, if I don't: then maybe someone wont realize what they could see come to pass if they push through their doubt. If you want artists to be able to work that you know you would love: Push hard to support them in the eyes of fans & publishers!

Never Before Seen Zelda Manga Scans Trying to Predict what Link to the Past Will Be Like

TRANSLATIONS WANTED! If you would like to translate this, please contact me: melorasworld@gmail.com

Here's a small strategy guide Zelda manga that I just scanned that hasn't been online before! It was drawn by Hiroshi Aizawa, who also actually did work for the official Nintendo Player's guides too! It's pretty cool: it's speculating what Link to the Past will be like after Adventure of Link.

Find all 5 pages here. 

It's from this guide and here is the credit's page.

The title translates to something like "Emergency Report Super Famicom"
Published December 25, 1990, size B6 size, 79 pages, by Keibunsha, Magazine code 63550-53

Never Before Seen 2400dpi Zelda Manga Scans from "The Legend of Zelda Handbook"

TRANSLATIONS WANTED! If you would like to translate this, please contact me: melorasworld@gmail.com

This is actually in a strategy guide but, for now, I only have the 16 pages of manga scanned. Which is absolutely beautiful. The guide is The Legend of Zelda Handbook by Keibunsha.

Find the 2400dpi page scans here.

The manga artist is Matsunori Iwamoto | 岩本松徳 who did artwork for the official Nintendo Player's Guides. Specifically animal and item art that is quite detailed and stunning.

The guide was published by Keibunsha, March 28, 1992, 63552-25 / T1063552250889

Scan of Lost Official Art: Pyramid of Power from A Link to the Past

This one blows my mind. That background image, of the Pyramid of Power, absolutely has to be true official art they simply never reproduced anywhere else. Why do I think this? 

In several issues of Famimaga, an official Nintendo Magazine in Japan, they started off the Link to the Past feature each month with one of the other official images. Like Link smiling at the maiden in the crystal. This is the only image from that set that is not in the booklet for the game. And the quality is just as good as the others and the style is so similar to the other animation-style backgrounds. I really have no doubt that this is official but simply stayed on the cutting room floor until someone grabbed it for a filler image for their magazine. It's not like something this high quality was made just for the magazine (and just to be covered up by that other random art.)

Anyway, I'm devastated that we will probably never get to see the full image of this. For all the guides, magazines, and merch I have seen over the years: this is the only place this appears. As far as I know at least. However, if you see it somewhere else, please write me right away and let me know. 

Find the 2400dpi scan here. It is specifically from the 1992 no. 03 issue of Family Computer Magazine

Here are some photos twitter user, Number 20, took to show us (Thank you so much for your help!)

     

I might be scarce for a while

Alright, I'm getting ready to travel for a major surgery and really have no idea what recovery will be like for me. I might be able to type and do some stuff pretty soon afterwards. Or... not. It really varies from person to person. So I hope it all goes well and I see everyone in 2-3ish weeks! But I don't know. I've also only posted about this a little but my mom has stage IV cancer (terminal cancer) and she is also going to be traveling for a last ditch treatment. I'm pretty worried about both of us because I have an autoimmune disorder called Addison's disease, which means my immune system already doesn't work well, and also means I'm on immunosuppressants or my body starts to shut down, and my mom is obviously at high risk because of her cancer treatments and immune system as well. So... wish us luck? I'm pretty fucking nervous for both of us. I'd wait on getting surgery until after hers but the mask mandates in hospitals is going to end, and I already use to get sick for weeks every time I had to go to a hospital, and I can't wear an N95 the whole time I'm recovering: so hearing about the end to the mandates means that this is basically my last shot to even have a shot. I'm also expecting there's a decent probability I might not see my mom again after this weekend since she has to fly long distance to a specialist center, and can't even be vaccinated because she has a history of severe adverse reactions to vaccines. (She actually tried even though she knew this, it did not go well.) So, anyway, I'm kind of a mess.
