This is the official manga for A Link to the Past. It is written and illustrated by Akira Himekawa, the same artist who made many of the other Zelda mangas. It shares the same qualities as many of the other Akira Himekawa Manga, as it is nicely illustrated and in black and white. There are some pretty notable differences between the game and the Manga and they are listed below.

This manga was released in Japan on July 28, 2005, following the release of the Game Boy Advance port of the game. An English adaptation of this manga was released by Viz Media on February 2, 2010, as Volume 9 of their Zelda comic series.

Synopsis

A terrible tragedy befalls Link's family and friends when the traitorous Agahnim launches a plot to seize the Triforce and unleash a terrible evil on the world.

Link's journey may also help him discover what happened to his parents, and while Agahnim's minions and traps are dangerous, this link to the past may be even more challenging!
