It appears that VIZ Media has been kickin' it into high gear regarding getting Zelda manga here in the United States and elsewhere in North America.

We already heard about the Phantom Hourglass Manga and the Ocarina of Time Manga from our dedicated reader, Henrie, but now we can add Majora's Mask to the mix.

While I couldn't find anything on VIZ Media's site, Henrie was nice enough to point me in the direction of a Hyrule.net post with all the info.

Here is what we're lookin' at:

These are the covers of the Japanese and American mangas.


And according to Hyrule.net:

"Like the Ocarina of Time counterpart, Majora's Mask will retail for $7.99 and go on sale in February 2009.

The Majora's Mask manga was originally released in Japan in 2000. Unlike Ocarina of Time, there is only one book, which contains ten chapters. The last is author Akira Himekawa's interpretation of where the titular mask originated from."

I can't say I ever read manga, but if you're into it, you have a lot to look forward to.

Bah, they ruined the cover art. Why couldn't they have used the proper Zelda logo?

Actually, I kinda like the logo. It's different, but it's still Zelda.

Does anyone know if we'll be able to buy any of the Zelda manga in stores like Barnes & Noble, or if we can only get them online?

ill think about buying it.

Hi ,
let's see my review on Phantom Hourglass manga coming soon in Japan !

I actually read the whole thing a few days ago. There is a translated version floating around. Really great stuff. Actually read it once before, but that was YEARS ago. There is also a nice little side story.

My only beef is that it apparently is being released under the "VzKids" label, which doesn't make too much sense to me considering the franchise isn't exactly kid exclusive like say the Pokemon manga they've released under the same brand.

Not that this is in any way going to stop me from buying these. I bought the old school Pokemon Red manga with gusto when I came across it. It's true what they say, they don't make them like they used to . . .

Wow, that's cool. My birthday is in February. =D
