I have 26 volumes of 4koma manga scanned for the Zelda series & they seem truly underappreciated. While only one is fully translated much of the humor is self-explanatory to fans. If you find yourself with a few moments, give em a shot, pick one & dive in:

I didn't realize the full volume may not have been online: This is where the German Ocarina of Time comics are from but there's also an interview in there as well. I did some rough 600dpi scans to get it to someone and will do better scans later. Enjoy!

Finishing up the scans on the last 2 LttP Zelda novels and doodling Plink in-between each scan makes for a pretty decent evening

Continuing the lesser-known @KatsuyaTerra Zelda-art-that-I-love posts, while I scan and edit the German Link's Awakening guide to get it ready for upload, this is probably the sweetest one out of all of the pieces he's ever done. He's finally back home and they both look so happy

My absence: My mom is now in end-of-life care (cancer.) I'm staying with her 24/7 & it may be 2-3 months before I'm around. TotK has been my meditation between caregiving. I'm ok. Love you all & keep being kind, fierce, & supportive to yourselves & the world around you.

lol, I was scanning random series images from old magazine adverts and this little Peter Pan Chicken Nugget appeared. I guess this is one way to interpret Link and Zelda

I'm finally chipping away at redoing/replacing/adding missing 2400dpi scans to the gallery for all the retro art for the original Legend of Zelda (which I like to call Hyrule Fantasy) You can find the most recent uploads here:

Mind blown! This Pyramid of Power is, imho, a lost piece of actual official Zelda: LttP art that would belong to the manual art set. I have only ever seen it in this one Famimaga (thanks @Kobun20 for id'ing the issue for me) Made a 2400dpi scan + info:

Cross your fingers! I think I finally found the Newtype issue with this Zelda art in it & it's on the way. If so I'll get 1200dpi scans online for us, finally! Haruhiko Mikimoto is also one of my favorite artists, I use to have so many of his posters, so this is special for me.

Archival scans now posted for one of the cutest volumes of Zelda 4koma manga: I love the art in this so much. This was published by Kobunsha in 1999 so, unlike other Link's Awakening ones, you'll see gags for things like the photos. Enjoy:

I got another super rare find in that was completely lost to time until now! It's just a few short pages of a larger recap for Zelda: LttP in a Nintendo kid's magazine. (I'll scan it next) Here are some of the other parts; only missing 2 issues now:

Archival scans now up for The Legend of the Black Triforce! This Zelda II: Adventure of Link Gamebook has some really awesome illustrations. IMPO Link is really handsome in it & the cover looks so much like late 90's art of LttP Link: but it's from 1987!

An incredible restoration on this now-rare Zelda art from the 80's. Nearly extinct from the internet @JTaylorPro had to combine a poster & folder for the image. It's the best its looked since the poster was printed The art may be from DiC prior to production of the 1989 cartoon

If anyone wants a full image of the map, it's in the gallery. Thank you for liking it! The guide is actually missing the art from the middle section, since it's a fold out, so I re-drew & repaired it as best I could:

OK! Back to scanning rare old-school Japanese Zelda guides. This one has some super fun art that I simply love. The enemies are so expressive! I'm doing it really high-res so they're preserved as well as they can be forever. 1986, Jitsugyo no Nihon Sha:
