UPDATE. Archival Scanning Project: Zelda Manga, Novels, and Guides

Over the next year or so my goal is to make high resolution, archival quality, scans of all of these no-longer published Zelda publications so they're never lost. Most (if not all?) have been out of print for 35-20 years, many of the publishers aren't even in business any more. I don't really know what to do about it after that though. Right now manga publishers are going after some scan sites: mainly because people were making major ad and subscription money on thousands of works STILL being published; which is pretty messed up. I want to state, in the 20 years I've been doing this, I've never had a single ad or sold a single thing to make money on anything from my site. I've never even so much as linked to my personal online art stores. I busted my ass and pushed for years to see the Himekawa manga officially localized outside of Japan and to get Hyrule Historia released outside of Japan too. Like, let's pay publishers and artists to do the work so we can get more works made. I absolutely get that not everything gets localized in every language and that not everyone can access and afford things though. I mean, I grew up really poor and literally started this site because my favorite childhood Zelda art book/game guide was stolen from me and I couldn't find it again to see the art I had been so inspired by again. I looked for a decade before I found it and had to spend $100 to buy it at auction. Money that also did not go back to the original creators. ...Which is also why I wish publishers could find ways to work on that issue too. Like offering free online libraries of work that there isn't much of a market for any more. Or, if they don't want to bear the costs, would even okay fans to do it under certain circumstances. Anyway...

My old hard rule was to remove them if we heard they were going to get picked up officially, to only do works that had been out of print for years, and for all of that: to make the available manga scans just barely big enough to visually understand what was going on, so people could see what they were about but would still be encouraged to buy them when they could because the small size really isn't incredibly enjoyable. It's pretty clear none of these volumes are ever going to officially see the light of day again. You can't even find them on auctions sites any more even if you have the sometimes hundreds of dollars needed to buy each one. In an ideal world I would want a new publisher to pick up the rights and produce them, give money back to the original artists or their families if they have passed, or use it to fund artists to do new works. Sadly the chances of that happening are probably close to Zero if they haven't happened by now (or maybe I should start writing companies like an insane person and beg them to get the rights and re-publish them, ...who knows.) Unfortunately, originally, copyright law only covered around the first 14 years of a work. Which means every single one of these could be reproduced without a sometimes insane and over cumbersome process.... but then Disney fought to change that to nearly a life time, with the ability to be extended... So... 2056-2066ish is the earliest...? That's just cruel to fans who simply want to be able to experience a part of the history of their favorite series. Anyway, just know I will preserve them and that I will be trying to figure out how to handle this in the most ethical way possible. 

This is just a picture of my Zelda manga and novels, I don't even know how many more guides and artbooks I have. 

A long time ago some of my 4koma suffered water damage and I forgot about it until now. If you have any of the remaining volumes below, and are willing to sell them, please contact me.

Edit August 2, 2021: I located 2 at auction, Piney/dat_pinez located 2 others and is sending them to me, and Edit 2: now Ikhana and Piney have helped me find the other missing ones.

I also need another German Link's Awakening guide because mine came with a missing page that has art on it. Thank you!

New High Res Scans: Link's Awakening Dreamer Artbook

The out of print 2019 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening had a 120 page bonus artbook that I've finally fully scanned in high resolution at 600dpi. It mainly contains some really adorable concept art with my favorite piece being the Oracle style character sheet and sketches of Link. I believe the US version is hardback, pictured here, but I purchased and scanned the Japanese version because it's a lot cheaper to obtain and, being softcover, I felt less guilty about removing the pages to get perfectly flat images. 

You can find all of the pages at the flickr gallery here.

Also, apologies, I realized that my scanner is scanning slightly crooked. It doesn't affect the images quality it just means that the pages aren't perfectly horizontal. Looks like I need a new scanner. 

The Skyward Sword Official Art Gallery Collection is Massive- And Still Growing!

The official art gallery for Skyward Sword isn't even finished but it's already massive. Please check it out over on flickr! I'm pretty proud of it so far. I still have a ton left to do though before the re-release: I'm currently scanning and editing maps to add as well as being nearly done locating and organizing item renders and the art for the game sprites.

In it you'll find the official game release illustrations, posters, hundreds of pieces of concept art, renders and rips that will help with character reference, and let me know if you want me to add level renders or anything else. 

Years ago I made scans of the artbooks and lightly cleaned up a lot of the images. Those are the ones you'll most likely find on wiki galleries and reposted on pages. I just re-did all of that with clearer and more vibrant versions and they're in the gallery now: so they're really worth seeing and using. once again I worked on taking the distracting text off of most of them too so they're really nice to look at and study and even better to use for illustrating articles.

Backstory: If you don't know, I'm currently working on creating the most extensive and complete official art collection for every Legend of Zelda game and am trying hard to make and track down the best versions of every piece of art out there. Exactly 19 years ago tomorrow is when the site first launched and keeping official art from being hard to locate, or disappearing completely, is why I started History of Hyrule. I'm excited to be working towards this goal again... and it's even more fun knowing the task will never end. There will always be something new or left to find.

Breath of the Wild art is coming next

I'm getting closer to finishing up the bulk of the Skyward Sword section of the official art gallery, so out of curiosity I did some test cleaning for the Breath of the Wild artbook, Creating a Champion. It turned out pretty well. Looking forward to adding nice concept sketches to the gallery. Here are some examples with very minimal manual cleaning (basically I mean none of the original art was altered or lost)

 

Insanely High-Rez Old-School Link Art

This has always been one of my favorite pieces of Link art and thanks to the incredible collector, Art of Nintendo Power on Twitter, we have a high resolution scan of the actual cel. That's right: it's a cel, he owns it now, he scanned it at 1200dpi, and since it's a painting there's no pixilation. It's incredible and I am in heaven. I did a rough clean up job on it and have it uploaded at the flickr gallery in its all its 17,680 x 9900 glory, here.

You could originally see this in Nintendo's Legend of Zelda Tips and Tactics guide, and I use to be responsible for the best image of it online, which is a joke compared to this one. I'm super happy to pass that torch because, seriously, nothing beats this!

Gallery Update: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons mostly done!

Super excited about this one because it's really cute and harder than it should have been, mainly because so much of the sprite art seemed impossible to track down! Anyway, I can easily say, this is the most complete Oracles art gallery online, nothing was even close to being in one place. And a head's up: many of the scenes are animated gifs, if you download them you'll be able to see them.

Check it out on Flickr!

Updated: Full translations for an adorable old Hyrule Fantasy book!

UPDATE: This is fully translated and I hope to edit it in the future. If you're great at page editing, would you like to take on this task for me instead though? I'm so backlogged I feel horrible that I haven't gotten to it yet. I have rough pages posted below but some changes to the text have been made and can be found below the images. I do want this to look super professional though so I'd rather wait to do it myself if editing isn't something you're really skilled at (though there are a lot of people out there that are better at it than me so, if that's you, please take this on!)

Full Translation thanks to @sergethesage.

He sent it in for this absolutely awesome little book for the first Legend of Zelda.

The text on the images is not the final text, by the way, the images are just what I sent back to him to make sure I had everything in the right place and that nothing was left out.

No Clip: Amazing resource for screen captures, textures, and art reference.

I'm late to the party and am mostly just posting this here so I don't forget about it again- because it's too amazing. If you need to see a level, or reference a texture, from any of the earlier 3D zelda games, check out noclip.website. It really is a museum. So far it has Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, Windwaker, Majora's Mask 3D, Ocarina of Time 3D, and Ocarina of Time N64. Thank you so much for creating this, Jasper! I needed to remember a detail on a level in Skyward Sword, a game I can't play because the motion controls cause nerve damage in my arms, and it allowed me to get right to it!

Link's Awakening Manga: Super rare and never seen before! (Updated!)

UPDATE 3: Find the English Scanlations here

Translated by: Сергей Посниченко Sergei the Sage

Cleaned and Typeset by: DidakosGA

UPDATE 2: Full translation below

Original Post: For the first time ever on the internet: a very rare Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening manga short that was that was just scanned by @randomhoohaas of randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com & was sent to me by @miloscat. It's 38 pages and is from a fairly obscure Japanese comic periodical, COROCORO BESSATSU, the August 1993 issue.

Find it in the gallery here!

UPDATE: @sergeithesage sent me this great summary:

Here is brief story of Link's Awakening.

Link defeated 7 monsters and got 7 Siren's instruments, but then received message from Hot Head, saying that mister Tarin is kidnapped and ransom is 7 instruments. Link said Marin nothing, took his trophies to Turtle Rock and gave to Hot Head. Hot Head released Tarin but warned Link in a Godfather-like manner, that a new attempt to wake Fish of Wind would mean the end of life for Tarin and Marin.

Link and Tarin decided to keep all this in secret from Marin, but Link behaved himself very strange, and Marin asked Tarin what is wrong. Tarin said nothing, but thought, and Marin read his thoughts (after all it's a comics for elementary school children). So Marin left note and went for Hot Head's den to bring instruments back. Link and Tarin read her note and hurried to save poor girl, but it was late - Hot Head captured Marin.

Link tried to attack Hot Head, but evil monster told him, that waking Fish of Winds means deleting all this world including Marin and Tarin. His evil words made Link to hesitate, Link's arm lacked strength, and so Hot Head was about to kill Link. In last moment Link remembered Zelda, it gave him some strength but not enough. Hot Head need only one final blow to finish Link off, but in last moment Tarin appeared with fairy. Fairy fully recovered Link, and he destroyed Hot Head and rescued Marin.

The last scene. Marin tells Link to go and wake up Fish of Wind. And adds, that she believes all be OK, because Link is true hero with kind heart.

Here's a direct translation of this page that he provided:

Link: One more – and I have all eight!
Marin: Are you not afraid of monsters?
Link: I have many too many dreams and to-do things.
Link: And can’t waste my time here! (It leaves no place for doubts?)

ここでグズグズしてられないんだよ。

And can’t waste my time here!

Это не оставляет места для колебаний!

だから、魔物にむかっていく勇気がでてくるんだ！

That is the reason of my courage to meet the monsters!

Отсюда и берётся моё мужество ходить на монстров!

ふせてっ。

Duck!

Ложись!

Page 13

だいじょうぶ、いっちゃったよ。

OK, he passed by.

Порядок, он ушёл.

どうしてなにもしなかったの。

Why did you let him go?

Но почему вы дали ему уйти?

ぼくは殺し屋じゃないからね、必要以上の殺しはしたくないんだ。

I’m not a hired killer, that’s why I don’t want to kill more than I need to.

Я не наёмный убийца, поэтому не хочу убивать без крайней нужды.

リンク・・・。

Link…

Ах, Линк…

タリンおじさん、キノコ取りだろ？

Mister Tarin are picking mushrooms?

Дядя Тарин пошёл по грибы?

うん。

Yes.

Да.

Page 14

だいじょうぶかな、また怪物がうろつきだしてるしな。

But is it safe with all these wandering beasts?

Всё ли с ним в порядке – тут ведь монстры бродят?

あぶない！！

Beware!

Берегись!

だれだっ！！

Who’s that?!!

Кто здесь?!!

Page 15

手紙がついてるぞ。

It has a letter!

Тут письмо!

タリンをあずかっている返してほしければセイレーンの楽器をデグフレムの亀岩までもってこい

If you want to return Tarin, bring Siren’s instruments to the Hot Head’s Turtle Rock

Если хотите вернуть Тарина, приходите с инструментами Сирены к Черепашьему Камню

なにが書いてあるの？

What is written here?

Что там написано?

いや、なんでもないよ。

Ah, just nothing!

Да нет, ничего!

用を思いだしたから、家で待ってで。

I just remember something, wait me at home.

Я как раз вспомнил кое-что, просто подожди меня дома.

急にどうしたのよ〜〜。

What is all this sudden?!!

Что за внезапность?

Page 16

でてこい、リンクだ！！

I am Link, and I have come!

Это Линк, я пришёл!

楽器は持ってきたぞ。

And brought instruments!

И принёс инструменты!

きたか。

Have come?

Пришёл?

セイレーンの楽器は持ってきたんだろうな。

And have really brought Siren’s instruments?

И впрямь принёс инструменты Сирены?

リンク・・・。

Link…

Линк…

ほらよっ。

Here, take!

Держи!

よしっ！！はなしてあれ！

Good! Let him go!

Отлично! Отпустите его!

Page 17

二度と「風のさかな」を起こそうと考えるな。

Don’t even think about waking ‘Fish of Wind’.

Даже и не думай больше о том, чтобы разбудить «Рыбу ветра».

この次起こそうとしたら、

If you try to wake it next time,

А если не оставишь своих попыток,

その時はマリンとタリンの命はないぞ！！

Then Marin and Tarin will lose their lives!

То в следующий раз Марин и Тарину не жить!

なんだって・・・どういうことだ！！

What… what do you mean?!!

Что… что ты хочешь сказать?!!

おとなしくしていろ、ということさ・・・。

I mean be a good boy…

Я говорю, будь послушным мальчиком…

すまんな、リンク。

Sorry, Link.

Мне жаль, Линк.

気にしないでください。それと・・・心配するといけないんでマリンには内緒にしましょう。

Never mind. And… let’s not worry Marin and keep this in secret.

Не принимайте близко к сердцу. И… чтобы Марин не беспокоилась, оставим это в секрете.

Page 18

わー、スゲーごちそうだ！！

Oh, wow, what a feast!

Ого, надо же, просто пир!

明日は八匹目の魔物と戦うんでしょ、

Tomorrow you are fighting with eighth monster, right?

Завтра вы ведь сражаетесь с восьмым монстром?

だからリンクに栄養つけてもらわなくちゃ。

So I have to feed you well!

Так что я должна как следует накормить вас!

あ、そ、そうだね。ありがとう。

Ah, ye-yes. Thank you.

Ах, э, да. Спасибо.

ねえ、リンク。

Pardon, Link.

Простите, Линк.

えっ。

Eh?

А?

フォークでスープを飲むの？

Are you eating soup with fork?

Вы кушаете суп вилкой?

あっ、ほ、ほら今肉を食べようと思ったんだよ。

Ah, we-well, I think I am eating meat now! 

А, ну, вот – я подумал, что ем сейчас мясо!

それ魚よ。

It is fish!

Это рыба!

Page 19

リンクったらどうしたのかしら。

I wonder what is wrong with Link.

Что же с Линком стряслось?

わ、わしゃ知らんぞー

I, I don’t know!

Я, я не знаю!

わしを助けるために楽器を渡してしまったなんて！！

He gave out the instruments to save me!

Он отдал инструменты, чтобы спасти меня!

それ本当なの！？

Is this true?!!

Это правда?!!

リンクあなたって・・・。

Oh, Link, you’re…

Ох, Линк, вы…

たいへんじゃ！

Oh, no!

Караул!

これを見てくれ！！

Look at this!

Вот, смотри!

セイレーンの楽器を返してもらいた行ってきます心配しないで下さいマリン

I am going to return the Siren’s instruments. Please don’t worry. Marin.

Я верну инструменты Сирены. Пожалуйста, не волнуйтесь. Марин.

Page 20

一人で魔物の所へいくなんて！！

She head to monster’s den all alone!

Она в одиночку отправилась в логово монстра!

Page 21

いくよ！おじさん！！

Let’s go, mister Tarin!

Вперёд, дядя Тарин!

悪いがおまえたちにかまっているヒマはない！！

Pardon, guys, but I don’t have time to play with you!

Звиняйте, парни, но мне некогда с вами возиться!

Page 22

おじさん、ぼくの後をはなれないで！

Mister Tarin, don’t lose behind!

Дядя Тарин, не отставайте!

あそこだ！！

It is there!

Туда!

Page 23

マリンはどこだ！！

Where is Marin?!!

Где Марин?!!

ここにいるよ。

Here she is.

Да вот она.

リンク！！

Link!

Линк!

Page 24

マリンをかえしてもらうぞ！！

Let Marin go!

Отпусти Марин!

あせるな、ボウズ。

Patience, lad.

Не горячись, хлопец.

いいか、よく聞け。この世界は「風のさかな」の夢の世界だ。

OK, listen well. This world is the world of dream of ‘Fish of Wind’.

Ладно, слушай внимательно. Это мир – это мир сна «Рыбы ветра».

やつを起こせば夢が消える。

If creature wakes up, the dream will disappear.

Если она проснётся, её сон исчезнет.

つまり、この世界が消えるんだよ。

In other words, this world is disappear!

Другими словами, исчезнет этот мир!

Page 25

この世界を消そうとするやつはゆるさん！！

I don’t forgive person, who tries to make this world disappear!

Я не прощу того, кто пытается заставить этот мир исчезнуть!

安心しろ。その前にこの剣がおまえを消してやる！！

Don’t worry. Before it happens this sword makes disappear you!

А ты не волнуйся. Мой меч ещё раньше заставит исчезнуть тебя!

わかっていないな、この世界が消えればマリンも消えるんだぞ！！

Don’t you understand, if this world disappears, then Marin disappears too!

Ты что, не понимаешь? Если исчезнет этот мир, то Марин тоже исчезнет!

Page 26

マリンも消えることになるって・・・。

(You’re) saying, Marin will also disappear…

Говоришь, Марин тоже исчезнет…

それでもわしを倒せるかな・・・。

Nevertheless (do you) want to defeat me?

Всё ещё хочешь одолеть меня?

なにをっ！

What!

Что за!

あまいっ！！

Weakling!

Слабак!

ほら、どうした、戦いに集中できてないぞ！！

Hey, what’s wrong, I can’t concentrate on fighting!

Эй, в ч ём дело, я не могу собраться с силами!

戦いに集中できんおまえは赤子も同然だわい！！

Your lack of concentration makes you weak as a baby! 

Вот и я говорю – ты младенец против меня!

ほら、どうした、女一人守れないのか。

See, you even can’t protect just one woman!

Видишь, одну-единственную женщину защитить не в силах!

Page 27

マリンを手をだすな！！

Don’t touch Marin!

Не трожь Марин!

あっ。

Ah?

А?

そんな迷いのある剣で、おれさまを貫けるわけないだろ！！

You can’t pierce my body with such hesitating sword!

Меч в нерешительной руке не в силах пронзить меня!

Page 28

おまえはここで死ぬ運命なんだよ。

You are doomed to die here!

Здесь тебе суждено погибнуть! 

どうやらおまえの親父は怖くなってにげたらしいぞ！！

Oh, it seems your father was scared and ran away!

Что такое, папочка испугался и удрал?

Page 29

さあ、次の一発でおまえのライフはおしまいだぞ！

And now the next blow will finish your life off!

Итак, следующий удар положит конец твоей жизни!

リンク、立って！！

Link, stand up!

Вставайте, Линк!

あなたの夢をここで終わりにしないで！！

Don’t let your dreams end here!

Не дайте вашим мечтам оборваться здесь!

魔物にまどわされちゃダメよ！

Don’t let this monster confuse you!

Не позволяйте монстру сбить вас с толку!

夢・・・。

Dreams…

Мечты…

Link.

Линк.

リンク、早く修業の旅を終えてきて・・・。

Link, finish you apprentice travel as soon as possible…

Линк, поскорее набирайся опыта в дальних краях…

ハイラルはあなたの帰りを待っているのよ・・・。

Hyrule will wait your coming back!..

Мы все будем ждать твоего возвращения!

ゼルダ姫・・・

Princess Zelda…

Принцесса Зельда…

リンク！！

Link!

Линк!

そうだ、ここでくたばるわけにはいかないんだ・・・。

Right, I have a reason not to lie down in grave…

Верно, есть у меня причина, не врезать здесь дуба…

Page 31

うわーっ。

Ouch!

А-ай!

今頃やる気になっても遅いわい！！

It’s too late to get motivation!

Слишком поздно ты воспрял духом!

このままじゃダメだ・・・。

This is bad…

Плохо дело…

このままマリンさえ守れずに倒れるのか・・・。

Will I die trying in vain to protect Marin?..

Неужели я так и погибну, не сумев защитить Марин?..

さあ、今楽にしてやるぞ。

Be a good boy and die!

Ну всё, хорош трепыхаться!

くそ〜〜っ、力が、力が欲しい・・・。

Damn, I need, I need strength…

Сволочь… Где же мне взять силы?

Page 32

妖精。

Fairy?

Фея?

なぜ、ここに？

What, why?

Что, откуда?

どうやらまにあったようじゃな。

Looks, we are just in time!

Похоже, мы как раз вовремя!

タリンおじさん！！

Mister Tarin!

Дядя Тарин!

さあ、妖精にライフを回復してもらうんじゃ。

OK, fairy will restore your life.

Сейчас фея восстановит тебе жизнь.

Page 33

かくごしろ、デグフレム！！

Hot Head, en garde!

Защищайся, Горячее Пламя!

いまさら悪あがきはよせ、よせ！！

It’s your turn to be a good boy and die!

Теперь твоя очередь не трепыхаться!

ウギャーッ！！

Ugh!

У-а-а!

Page 36

さあ、「風のさかな」を起こしにいって。

Link, now you can go to wake up ‘Fish of Wind’.

Теперь идите будить «Рыбу ветра», Линк.

えっ、でも・・・

Yes, but…

Да, но…

だいじょうぶなにも悪いことは起こらないとわたしは信じます。

It's OK, I believe that nothing bad will happen.

Всё в порядке, я верю, что ничего плохого не случится.

あなたは心優しい本当の勇者なんだから。

Because you are real hero with kind heart.

Потому что вы – подлинный герой с добрым сердцем.
