Thank you, Traveler, for helping me know this existed and for finding out which magazine it appeared in first too.

I have not done Volume 1 yet but I do have it. Just let me know if you want to know what's inside it. Since it doesn't have Zelda stuff in it it's currently on the bottom of my scanning list.

Game Maestro volume 1-5 have been scanned at 600dpi. This is thanks to Max, who runs Hyrule Interviews. He really wanted to see this done. If you can translate the Zelda parts, please do and send them to him. Thank you!

Scans of A Link to the Past Manga by Noboru Sakaoka and Mario-kun by Hiroshi Takase

This has never been online before. I just 2400dpi scanned & uploaded this 8 page Zelda: Link to the Past 神々のトライフォース manga by Noboru Sakaoka 坂丘のぼる from Shogaku Ninensei, February 1992. Find it here.

Translation wanted!

This is probably my favorite panel from it:

I have also uploaded 1200dpi RAWS for the Mario (Mario-kun) comic and content (including a cool little pyramid cut-out) by Hiroshi Takase that was in this issue. You can find the zip for that download here.

1200dpi Scans of a Short Nintendo Art Publication

I scanned & uploaded this short little “Nintendo the Official Magazine Presents The Best Videogame Artwork Of All Time!” publication at 1200dpi. It’s where I found the Zelda: Minish Cap artwork. There’s a couple good pieces in it from FFV, Mario, Kirby, etc. Enjoy! https://archive.org/details/nintendo_ntom_tbvaoat/mode/2up

Thanks to Ian I now know this was a free appendix to one of the early issues of the UK version of Nintendo Power.
