600dpi Scans of the German Club Nintendo, Ocarina of Time Special, 1998

I didn't realize there weren't really good scans of this online until someone asked me. I just assumed there were. This is still a quick and dirty scan done with my ADF so someone could translate the interview. I hope to make nicer scans with my flatbed in the future.

Find the full volume here.

You can go here to read the comic in English, and someone uploaded those here so they are easier to read.


Here is the English version of the interview.

May 1998 by Nintendo of Europe GmbH and Nintendo Co. Ltd, Published in Club Nintendo OoT Special. Comic Art: Work House Co. Ltd., Tokyo

You will notice "Work House/Workhouse." They did a bunch of Nintendo Power art and was where Katsuya Terada did his Zelda work from. In the early 00's I had originally thought these were done by a German artist so I just wanted to point that out in case anyone else had made the same assumption as me. 

Okay, I should be caught up on everything I did but I forgot to post about on Blogger!

Old 600dpi Scans of the Anvil Artbooks by Nobuteru Yuki

I've had these on my site forever but there's a problem with one of the files and they're also not easy to flip through. So after a bunch of people asked I finally got around to just uploading them to Internet Archive. 

• Volume 1 is here.
• Volume 2 is here.
• Volume 3 is here.

They're my old scans though. There's bad bleed-through. I need to do better scans one day.

Katsuya Terada's First Magazine Manga, Désert 2961, Online for the First Time Ever!

A few weeks ago VGDensetsu posted info on what may be Katsuya Terada's 1st magazine manga, Désert 2961, & there really wasn't anything about it online. So I located & imported it & just took a video of the whole volume before I scan it. This is probably the first time its been online:

In his original post Dom said this:

"An excerpt from what appears to be Katsuya Terada's first magazine manga, published in March 1986 in Bakīn Soul Rider Comic. You can feel the influence of Moebius and Métal Hurlant even in the title - Désert 2961 -, written in French."

He linked to this on Twitter:

たひね @tahi_ne

そういえば広井てつお先生のお手伝いしてた関係で寺田克也先生の漫画デビュー作品「DESERT2961」持ってたなあってふと思い出して探してみた。この本に載ってる広井てつお先生の「レッドゾーンファイティング」がWikipediaの作品リストから漏れてるんですよね。

Machine Translation:

"By the way, I used to help Tetsuo Hiroi, so I happened to have Katsuya Terada's manga debut, ``DESERT2961,'' so I suddenly remembered and looked for it. ``Red Zone Fighting'' by Tetsuo Hiroi, which is included in this book, is missing from Wikipedia's list of works."

And this product listing.

こばやし将 @show_kob - Sep 28, 2024:
その昔、乱丸さん、すずお泰樹さんと3人で「スタジオあるまじろ」という名称で仕事を請け負っていた時期がありました。1985年講談社発行のこの「Theハレー彗星マガジン」もそのうちの1つ。巻頭のカラーイラストや記事に使われた多数のカット、漫画等を手分けして描いたのは懐かしい思い出です😊

Long ago, Ranmaru, Suzuo Taiki, and I were working under the name "Studio Almajiro." One of those jobs was "The Halley's Comet Magazine," published by Kodansha in 1985. I have fond memories of drawing the color illustrations at the beginning of the issue, as well as the many cuts and manga used in the articles.

Here's a small strategy guide Zelda manga that I just scanned that hasn't been online before! It was drawn by Hiroshi "Moga" Aizawa, 愛沢"モカ"ひろし, who also actually did work for the official Nintendo Player's Guide and Nintendo Power guides! It's pretty cool: it's speculating what Link to the Past will be like after Adventure of Link.

The Battle of Mirage Castle Gamebook is Being Translated into English!

Update: I haven't heard anything about the translation in a while, unfortunately.

Exciting news! It's obviously going to take a while but a very awesome fan is starting this project and I'm super excited for it. According to people who have played it this is one of the most fun out of all of the gamebooks and is, in a way, the 2nd Legend of Zelda game to be made. 

Until then: find the full scans here

Here's the summary on Zelda Wiki thanks to MiloScat and others: 

About:

Link and Princess Zelda are both playable characters, but are played alternately. Link is active in the daytime and Zelda at night; meanwhile the other is trapped inside a magical orb. They are assisted by a new character, Funny the fairy, who helps them communicate as they swap places without meeting each other. The antagonist is the demon general Gaia, said to be Ganon's younger brother. Zelda's father is also named in the book as King Graham II. In terms of gameplay, Battle of Mirage Castle notably has an open-world structure (more so than many other gamebooks).

Story

After the events of The Legend of Zelda, the demon general Gaia attacked Hyrule from the Dark World. He transformed himself into a dark tornado, destroyed the castle, devastated the land, and broke the Triforces of Wisdom and Power each into two pieces, hiding them throughout the land. Link and Zelda were also cursed such that one of them will always be trapped inside a crystal ball; they swap places at dawn and dusk. The fairy Funny helps to ease the transition between the two.

Link and Zelda set out to retrieve the Triforce pieces and discover the location of the elusive Mirage Castle: a labyrinth fortress in which Gaia has taken up residence. It appears and disappears around Hyrule, seemingly at random. They have only ten days to find it before its gates lock forever.

They traverse many new locations including deserts, seas, forests, rocky crags, an abandoned town, a pyramid, a "crystal castle", and the back of a giant turtle. Both Link and Zelda meet various people, acquire items, and battle monsters as they gather information about the Mirage Castle.

Eventually, they discover its location in the desert. Upon entering, Zelda is abducted by Gaia. Link challenges the dangers of the castle alone, eventually confronting Gaia. The general is in human form, with a hypnotised Zelda. He declares that she will be his queen. Link battles him, and Gaia transforms into a giant crow. Link uses the flute to free Zelda's mind and together they are able to defeat Gaia.

Three days later the Mirage Castle rematerializes on a farm. Link and Zelda escape, met by an old man who reveals that he is actually the King of Hyrule in disguise. Not only that, but every old man, old woman, and merchant that they met on their journey was also the king all along. He further explains events before Gaia's attack: Gaia, a great sorcerer, had approached the king to ask for Zelda's hand in marriage. King Graham II refused, as it was his father's will that Zelda would marry the greatest swordsman in Hyrule, and besides Zelda and Link are said to be in love. Gaia's attack and curse was in retaliation for this refusal. The amused king adds that this adventure was a chance for Link to prove himself; in response Link, Zelda, and Funny are nonplussed. Still, the Triforce has been restored and peace has returned to Hyrule.

Updated: First time ever online: Incredibly rare 16 page Hyrule Fantasy CYOA from 1986

This is an incredibly rare 16 page Choose Your Own Adventure-esque comic for the original Legend of Zelda

• Comic: Shinji Hikino ひきの真二
• Composition: Makimura Tadashi 槙村ただし

• Publication: 2nd graders 小学二年生

UPDATE JULY 18, 2022: This is being cleaned and edited by MiloScat and the translation is finished! Info: UPDATE Jan 2025: I had to remove this link because the site it's on triggers a takedown. You can find it by navigating Miloscat's page. I'll talk to them try to figure out what to do later.

Update May 10, 2022: Translation added below. Go here for the full set of scans on archive.org 

While it's not much of a CYOA, it's still a simple one. And I think it being one might also make it, technically speaking, possibly the 2nd playable game for the series? The original game was released at the end of February in 1986 and this is roughly 4 months later. The Gamebook, Mirage Castle, would then be the next one I think... I believe that's from August of '86. Anyway, this section of the magazine is meant to introduce, and then walk, 7-8 year olds through how to play the original Legend of Zelda. It's actually more comprehensive in some ways than a lot of our Western guide and tip books. After going through it I thoroughly endorse this way of teaching kids game concepts! I wish I had something like this; I was around the intended age for this when the original game came out and that was more than a little confusing for me to try and figure out on my own.

Also, I think the art is incredibly spot-on and perfect, more so than most things I have seen. (Honestly I am absolutely in love with it, I wish we had a full manga for Hyrule Fantasy in this style.) The little glimpses we get of the enemy design (except the one tektite on the cover, lol) and dungeon entrances and rooms nail it. All the characters are rather perfect too, especially considering we didn't really have official art of Ganon's face! This might be the closest official thing to it at the time and I'm not sure where this would have been seen in Japan because I never saw it in any of the old Japanese publications I've been able to find. (First time I saw it was in Hyrule Graphics/Art and Artifacts) All the unofficial guide art for Ganon seems to be based on the game sprites.

Keep in mind that Nintendo did a lot of publishing through Shogakukan too. In the 80's Nintendo seemed to work more with Tokuma Shoten on official stuff, so I'm not sure how closely they were working with Shogakukan at this time but, at least in the 90's: I know they did the majority of their official guides & this magazine run does seem to enjoy close ties. If anyone knows more about their shared history, please let me know! melorasworld@gmail.com

These were old copies that were scanned and emailed to me by a Japanese fan for the collection here. I can not thank them enough. Without people like them, where would we ever be! Always keep in the back of your mind how many incredible individuals that have done something to help contribute to finding all of this stuff that could have stayed lost. 

So this magazine, and its sister publications for other grade levels, don't seem to have been saved by many people (I'm guessing it would kind of be like finding a Highlights magazine saved anywhere but in a dusty basket at a pediatrician's office) but they are chalked full of original game comics and info. Unfortunately it's really rare to see issues show up. If you know of anyone who is collecting them: please let me know. I would love to get in touch and work together with them on preserving it. Though not comprehensive, there is always a list of what I am looking for in the Wanted section of the Flickr gallery

Link: "Oh no"

Bottom Panel, 6: Link: The dungeons have lots of strong enemies in them so, before I go, I should collect a lot of rupees and equip myself.

Narration: There are many instances where the blue tektites will have rupees. It is also quite easy to gather rupees in dungeons, particularly Level 2.

Link: where can I buy weapons.
Panel 2, voice: over here, over here!
Panel 3, man: GWAHAHAHA

--the candle:

--the arrow: [items you will be required to use at some point in a dungeon]

--the bait:

--the blue ring: When hit by an enemy, you’ll only ever take half damage.

Merchant: outside of these 4 items there's one more item that would be very beneficial for you to buy!!

Last panel, Link: Uhh..
Link: huh, I wonder which one?!

Merchant: BWAHAHA

2 options:

--A (head to) : Magical shield

--B: Key for a dungeon door

Text at the bottom: Once you’ve made your choice, go to the next page.

6th panel: Link: Oh! A fountain, if I drink the water, maybe my vigor will be restored!

Enemies: Stop right there!

Fairy: Oh Link, I'm glad you've come. 

Fairy: I'm going to fill all of your heart containers for you (using the same canteen word, like they're a physical object that can be filled with heart)

Link: Ah! It's a fairy!!

Panel 2, Link: Yeah! My hearts are full

Panel 3, Fairy: Please remember this fountain where I am....

Fairy: If your hearts decrease you can come by anytime

Old woman: If you bring me a letter from the old man I'll sell these to you

-- Red potion.

--Blue Potion.

Panel 6, Narrator: Of particular note is the red potion, which you can use twice. With that, even if you're in a pinch in a dungeon or something, you can finish it without having to exit the dungeon each time you want to heal.

Link: Alright I'm going to buy it !!

↑ Page 8:

Panel 1: Link: The only thing left for me to prepare is to make sure I’ve got a full count of bombs so that I can make paths by destroying the dungeon walls. Once I've done that I can head to the labyrinths! Let's Go!!

↑ Page 10:

Link: Ah, this block moves!!

Panel 2, Link: I did it!

Link: There was a treasure in the room beneath the previous room, and it was the bow!
Panel 3, Narrator: Besides the bow, you can also find the wooden boomerang in Level 1.

Narrator: Each dungeon has at least one, but possibly more, treasures hidden away so search realllll hard for them!

Panel 4, Link: Alright! It’s time to head for the room with the Triforce!

Box: Aquamentus

Panel 5, Link: WHOA! This must be the monster defending the triforce!

↑ Page 11:

Link: Khyaa! If I stab Aquamentus enough times, I’m sure to beat him!
Narrator: Just like this there's always a monster guarding the triforce, with each having a distinct way to defeat them.
Panel 2: Once you defeat the beast a heart container will appear so make sure to not forget it!

Panel 3, Link: I did it! I finally got a triforce piece!!
Panel 4, Link: What? I'm above ground
Narrator: Once you take the triforce you're automatically taken outside of the dungeon

Panel 5, narrator: If you blow a hole in the side of a great boulder somewhere, you can get another heart container.

Narrator: Do your best to get a heart container from this place and then find the White Sword. Once you do, battles will become much easier.

Link: Alright, next is level 2!!

Narrator: Level 2 is quite far east (to the right) of level one, within a forest

Box: Dungeon Level 2

Narrator: Level 2's treasure is a magical boomerang. It can fly much further than the wooden boomerang
