Translation and Scanlation Complete: All 4 Volumes of Oath of Riruto Now In English!

This was an epic feat: All four volumes of The Legend of Zelda: Oath of Riruto have been translated by the incredible Ammon. Here is the text document with the final translation. He's been working on this for a few years and it's thanks to his dedication that more fans will actually be able to enjoy this work. It's so incredible that we're all finally able to read this.

Another fan, IsThisUserNameGood, posting under the group Jay's Manga, has even typeset the whole thing and has been adding it to MangaDex. That means you can just start reading right now! What an incredible effort, thank you guys so much!



This is an interesting one because it was drawn by Junya Furusawa 古澤純也, (also known as ふ る じ ゅ ん) who was a fan of Dragon Ball, and actually went from fan artist to an artist for the animated Dragon Ball series. 

It was written by Jin Munesue 棟居 whom I honestly don't know a lot about.

This was originally published from 1994-1997, bi-monthly, in Shounen Oh magazine which was published by Kobunsha. 



If you would like to see the original Japanese scans, I have them uploaded to Internet Archive:
