Holy crap! Two of the Lost Chapters of the Adventure of Link manga!

I had always heard that there were supposed to be 3 volumes of the Adventure of Link manga by Ran Maru, but that One Pack comics had financial trouble that prevented the release of the last volume. Instead they published the final 7 chapters (from Feb. 1988 - Aug. 1988) in their monthly magazine. I thought I would never be able to find or see these extra chapters. That they were simply lost....

Guess we should never lose hope.

It seems that History of Hyrule has Japanese viewers that have been enjoying the nostalgic blast from having the old untranslated manga pages online. A Japanese fan named Kannon has contacted me recently because of them. In an amazing turn of events, he has all the required issues of Wanpakku Comics Magazine and he's in the process of scanning all of them for us! Please, leave a thank you for him anywhere I can find it. In any language! I will pass them along. Fans like this deserve to know that the work they do, and the love the express, (simply to share what would otherwise be lost) doesn't go unappreciated!

I can't express how outstanding it is to be able to find a complete series of magazines from nearly 24 years ago! My mind is blown. Thank you Kannon, from the bottom of my Zelda-fan heart, thank you!

私は大喜びです！私の心の底からありがとう。
Kannon、あなたは私のゼルダのヒーローです！

When I get the rest, I will place them on a pub reader on the main site. For now, you can link to this post because it does not effect the main site's bandwidth at all. (Note: I'm also in the process of finding a new home for the zip's that went down with Megaupload. I'll update when that is done)
