![]() ![]() The manga’s beginning is far more compelling than the game’s, with readers getting a substantial look at Link’s life in Ordon Village. Link is clearly grateful to enjoy such carefree days in Ordon, particularly because a grim chapter from his past keeps reaching for him. Rather, he was previously a wanderer who eventually earned a place in the secluded, idyllic settlement. Also unlike the video game, Ordon Village is not Link’s hometown. Instead of completing menial tasks as part of a prolonged tutorial for the Wii’s motion controls, readers get a substantial look at Link’s peaceful life in Ordon Village. The approach is perhaps ironic, given that the game this manga is adapting has an infamously slow introduction, but the earlier goings of the Twilight Princess manga are far more compelling than what occurs in the video game. That means the opening volume is in no rush to hurl Link into a kingdom-trotting adventure. Twilight Princess’s manga has always been poised for a much grander scope, originally being set to span four volumes, and now confirmed to venture on beyond that total. Previous manga adaptations by the two artists behind the pen name were highly condensed retellings of various games in the series, with most being a single book in length rare exceptions like Ocarina of Time and The Four Swords were still only allowed two books to tell their stories. ![]() Before its first volume even saw publication, the Twilight Princess manga promised a more ambitious narrative than what The Legend of Zelda fans were accustomed to seeing from Akira Himekawa. ![]()
