The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Vol. 2

Before reading you need to go into this manga knowing that although it has nearly the same flow as the N64 game, the story is told entirely differently, and I think that that was a really good thing on the writers part. Purists may get upset about that, but I thought it made the story more interesting, as things dont go exactly as we expect them to.+Link actually talks, and the way he does is almost exactly how I'd imagine. Young, energetic, and full of courage.+Minor characters like Mido, Saria, and Nabooru get alot more love here than in the games. Some even help Link with the Boss fights which I thought was neat.+I also liked how you get alot more backstory on characters we didn't think about too much in the games. One example was how it was revealed that the Volvagia [pre-timeskip] became Links adorable little pet during his quest.+All the characters have their own distinct personalities now, which makes them all alot more fun, instead of just being npc's.- I was slightly annoyed that the boss fights were over 1-2 hits after Link learns the weak spot. I would've liked to see him struggle a bit.- I know this is geared towards little ones, but I REALLY wanted to see the story take a darker turn post time-skip, like when Link sees the Re-deads for the 1st time. It could've stayed PG while keeping a darker tone.Anyways, if you enjoyed the Games [or even if you never played them] and need a quick, upbeat fantasy manga to read grab the whole set. Trust me, the LoZ Manga series is THAT good. And yes, you'll still enjoy this if you've never played the games.

This was a great manga probably one of my favs on my shelf’s and any Zelda or non Zelda fan would in joy it and that’s why it is five stars,but in the game they had a shadow temple and it does have a lot of bonus manga at the end.

see above

Since the pages aren’t colored he actually likes to color them in. I don’t usually allow that in books but these ones are his and it keeps him occupied.

It's true that, in American culture, mangas like this are considered to be binded backwards, and yes, the pages are read from right to left, but once you start reading, you'll get used to it.Aside from that, reading part 1 and this, they held me from page to page. Even I can't help reading it over and over again!

Ocarina 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.

Birthday gift . Good price, arrived quickly.

Purchased for my son for Christmas (he was 10 at the time). He literally freaked out. He loves all things Zelda, and absolutely adores these books (I bought 1 and 2). He proceeded to read both in the matter of days (and this is a kid who received video games & such too). I am writing this review 9mos later, and he still grabs them when we go on road trips, etc. Great books, and I am purchasing the next in the series soon!

Although it starts strong it then looses momentum quickly and doesn't add anything new to the ending of the game. However the relationship shown between Link and Zelda is amazingly shown through great writing and beautiful artwork

I got this for my nephew. He loved it. The story and artwork are great. It comes as an A5 book, but worth it as a sticking filler

i absolutely love it. if your a zelda fan then these are the manga for you

12 yr old son reads this over and over again. great buy

Love this, amazing artwork and great story, perfect for any zelda fan!
