- Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2010Well, First of all I have to say that if you enjoyed The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, this manga (Comic Book but in the Japanese Style, From Right to Left) is a must have, You will totally like it.
The story does not happen exactly like the videogame but you will see that Akira Himekawa (the author) did an excelent job integrating the key elements of the game's story and create a beatiful story.
And Remember that this is only the 1st part. I already finished my reading of this one and I already order the Volume 2 The Legend of Zelda, Vol. 2 and Volume 3 The Legend of Zelda, Vol. 3: Majora's Mask and you can be sure that you will want to buy at least the Volume 2.
Like I said in my title, this manga is not just for fans, if you have never played The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time it's ok, you will enjoyed this book too because the story is consistent and you do not necessarily have to play any game in the series to understand it, and maybe you will play some game in the series after reading it.
And last Remember, YOU MUST READ FROM RIGHT TO LEFT!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2024My eight year old son started reading these books this year (second grade). They are quick reads, he enjoys them, and thinks it’s cool that you read “backwards.” :)
- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2017At my son's elementary school, kids can't wear costumes for Halloween, but they CAN dress up for "storybook character day" on Halloween IF they bring in a book that features their chosen character. My son is obsessed with the Legend of Zelda and wants to dress up as Link. I bought him this book so he could be "legal" in his Link costume at school. I didn't think he would actually read it. I have never been so happy to be so wrong.
My eight-year-old devoured this book in less than a week. He has been waking up early to read it before school. He has been reading it before bed. In fact, he has been reading this book more than he has been playing the video games, which is unbelievable considering how hard it usually is to pry that game pad out of his hands. When he's not reading the book, he's re-telling the story to anyone who will listen.
Before I ordered, I quickly skimmed the reviews to make sure the content wasn't inappropriate, but I didn't see many comments regarding reading level. So, in case it's helpful to others, my second grader is about a 24 - 28 on the DRA. He is very comfortable reading library books that are marked 3.0 - 3.9 on the Accelerated Reader scale. His teacher sends home scholastic readers for him that are level M. He says this book is easy for him to read independently. Granted, he has played the heck out of most (if not all) of the games, so he does already have a lot of context/exposure to the story.
The font is small and all caps, but my child hasn't complained. The theme looks a little dark, but he hasn't been frightened or disturbed.
Anyway, I'm back to order the next book in the series. This was one was definitely a hit for my little Zelda fan.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2011Ocarina of Time has always been one of my favorite video games, along with Majora's Mask, they have to be, hands down, the best games I've ever played. Part of what made me like them so much was their deep story and rich characters. But, being N64 games, the technology wasn't quite there for the developers to be able to tell a complete story with 100% full character development and structure. The cutscenes had to be reduced in order to leave room for actual gameplay; this was great since it left it to the player's imagination to fill in the blanks and connect the dots to make the story complete. What this manga does (along with Majora's Mask's manga) is expand on the game's story and focus on characters instead of fighting/battles. It's a great purchase if you're a fan of both games and I fully recommend it. The drawing are beautiful, taking inspiration from the anime-like style of the games' actual artwork.
That being said there are some parts where they left out some important things but overall, it's a great storybook.

Mon - StarReviewed in Germany on July 5, 20095.0 out of 5 stars Empfehlenswert!
Zu ersrt ist mir gar nicht aufgefallen, dass der Artikel in englisch ist, aber gut, dass ist ja mein eigenes Verschulden :). Aufjedenfall ließt es sich sehr gut und einfach. Das Manga ist also auch für Leute geeignet, welche keine Englisch-Fachmänner sind und nur über einen normalen Wortschatz verfügen. Teils habe ich auch nicht alles wortwörtlich verstanden, aber durch den Zusammenhang und dadurch, dass man die Geschichte aus dem Spiel ja kennt, hat man alles Verstanden. Ich persönlich musste nur zwei oder dreimal ein Englischwörterbuch dazu ziehen, als einer der Weisen so geschwollen gesprochen hat ;D.
Also nur zu empfehlen. Vor allem für Fans!
Michael John George LongmanReviewed in Spain on March 4, 20155.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Read For All Zelda Fans!
Though it doesn't follow 100% of the videogame, it does provide a beautiful story (and stays relatively true to the game) that involves most of the characters from the game and helps build on their characters. Being a Fan of the original N64 version of the game, this is a fantastic addition to any LOZ fan's Collection. It has also inspire me to buy the sequel book in the series.
