There are 4 volumes of comics for the original Legend of Zelda (1 volume from 1986) and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (3 volumes that continue the 4 part story) by artist Ranmaru. The publisher, Wanpakku Comics, went out of business before volume 3 could be published as an actual book. The only scans we had before were actually made from Xerox copies of the original magazine comics. I've now been able to collect 6 of these last 7 chapters to make better scans. This felt like a near impossible task, and I still have one more volume to find, but hopefully this will happen one day soon.
I scanned the first 6 chapters and Kannon scanned the last chapter from Xeroxed pages.
