I've been needing to update the info and works that are still missing from the publication's section of the site. Problem is: there's a lot to add. So I'm making albums on flickr to more quickly organize the information. I'm also doing this so it's easier for all of you to help me figure out this mass of information. These will contain everything I know about:
- Zelda Manga Flickr Album
- Zelda 4koma Manga Flickr Album
- Zelda Non-Japanese Comics: Coming Soon
- Zelda Books Flickr Album
- Zelda Sticker/Coloring/How-To-Draw Books: Coming Soon
- Zelda Strategy Guides Flickr Album
- Zelda Manuals and Booklets: Coming Soon
- Zelda US Magazines: Coming Soon
- Zelda Japan Magazines: Coming Soon
- Zelda Other International Magazines: Coming Soon
Good news is that Mases of Zelda dungeon is doing most of the work on the guides. He's making scans of his whole collection and is working on at least adding covers and info until he can get to everything that massive task entails.
- Here's a link list of his currently added guides, by title
- Here's a visual list of his current added guides, by game
So what can I use help with? Any one of you can probably help with something here:
- The thing I need the most help with is, if you know Japanese, help me make sure I have the correct titles, author's and illustrator's names, publishers, etc, in both Japanese and English characters.
- Double check my info against what's written in the volumes (I'm dyslexic, I make a lot of type-based mistakes)
- Help me find links to the best scans and info online*
- Help me find auction links to things I'm missing. If it's guides or merch I can get them to my friends who collect that and will get us scans. If it's manga, Japanese books, or artbooks, I'll probably buy them.
- (More to come, I'm out of time today to keep writing)
I'm doing this, in large part, because my end goal is to try to have every piece of official and semi-official Zelda art online. But it's too hard to do if you don't check things off a list as you go and if you're dealing with bad scans only to get good scans after you've already done a ton of editing work. So this is the leg work to creating an awesome gallery. The added benefit is, obviously, we should have a great resource and merchandise catalog when we're done that also helps up properly credit the people behind the series we love.
