Those who like their legends unfolding from right to left might be happy to learn that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will be the next game in the Zelda series to receive its own official manga. A pair of artists who go by the combined name Akira Himekawa will take up their inks for the project once again, having done so for previous games.
According to Anime News Network, the new series has only as of now been announced for MangaONE, the app belonging to publisher Shogakukan. Plenty of past Zelda manga including Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, A Link to the Past, and Minish Cap have eventually made it to the West in printed form, however, so it is not beyond the [twlight] realm of possibility that this one might as well.
The above art comes from Akira Himekawa's personal announcement of the manga on their website. The manga is scheduled to appear on MangaONE beginning 8th February.

I'm sure Viz will get their hands on it, knowing there's another Zelda manga out there to release. Wasnt the Link to the Past graphic novel they brought out last year selling like hot cakes?
Sounds cool. Hopefully we'll be able to check it out one day.
I only read the Four Swords and Ocarina of Time ones. But when this is available I'm totally getting it.
Why is his hair blonde? Its clearly light brown in TP.
just out of curiousity, but aren't they the same artists who hardcore support link and zelda as a pairing in every game? cause it seems like it based on what i've read by them
@DarthNocturnal @J-Manix98 @HeCaster101 Sure in the actual game, TP being so moody/dark looking, he's hair sort of appears brownish I guess, but it's clearly dirty blood (maybe even ash blond).

This is a pic from the HD version, you can definitely see the bright golden look in his hair. It's definitely a dark blond they chose for his look in TP.
Light brown does not look golden in the least.
Though they definitely lightened his hair a lot! It's definitely a simple change to quicken the paste of how fast they can produce the chapters. Dark brown/dirty blond hair would probably require the hair to be inked in way more than light blond hair.
@boxofmilk
they're not the only ones. *wink wink
Screw Link's hair color!Why nobody is talking about Midna?She looks way more demonic.
Ugly...
So its happening after all!
