Start your review of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Vol. 3

A good continuation of the story, the pace of the book is a bit slow for my liking however it is a enjoyable book. the art work is good and detailed, I especially like the close up stuff. This volume is more about Link accepting his role as a chosen. Also Link is still learning skills, powers as well as finding allies. There is a rematch from the first volume. As much as I like the Manga art work I do find some of the fight scenes a bit hard to follow, I did have to keep looking back in case I m

Disclaimer: I've done it again, and blitzed 3 volumes of manga in one day, so I'm reviewing all three in one review here.
Full disclosure, I wasn't really looking forward to reading this. It's been a long time since I a) played Twilight Princess and b) read Zelda manga, so I wasn't expecting much, but this stuff? This stuff is good.
The other volumes of Zelda manga are all heavily truncated, having to squeeze most of the games into one tankobon (bar Ocarina of Time, my second favourite adaptation ...more

HAHAHAHA I GUESS THIS IS HOW 2020 IS GOING TO GO, Y'ALL
My children made me read this despite me saying "fine, I'll check it out but you can just look at the pictures." I caved. I read badly translated, confusing comics backwards. I dramatized. I made all the sound effects LOUDLY and finally just settled for shouting, "SWORDFIGHTING! NOISES!" I read all the punctuation because half the dialogue in this book is just punctuation: ! ? !?

I'm reading these aloud with my 14-yr-old who has been obsessed with Link for years! He binged these all 1-6 in two days, and then he insisted I read them, too. This is my son's favorite volume.
The art is amazing! Especially the full-page spreads. But even the smallest expressions are perfect, too! I love that it gets a little deeper into the characters -- especially Link -- than the video game did. ...more

Another installment and another thumbs up. It varies from the game. The most telltale variation is Link's interaction with the characters, story and audience. In the game it's a subtle bridge built by your actions. You, the player, are very much Link. Our silent, green hero leaves a lot to the imagination. It's beautiful.
In the manga the character is much more solid. You are no longer our hero and the character Akira Himekawa created is now the player. This is probably my biggest complaint. It m ...more

This review was originally posted on Camryn DaytonaI talked about the authors and the game in my review of volume 1. If you'd like to get even more caught up, check out my review of Vol 2.

This volume of the story was really interesting for me. As someone who has played the game multiple times, I often wondered exactly what happened from both Ilia's point of view as well as the children of Ordon's. While we are given some explanation in the game, it was interesting to delve into other characters' perspectives, and also to see the development of relationships between characters.

On their way to Death Mountain as suggested by the spirit of light Faron, Link and Midna continue their quests together. In the meantime the Ordon village children are being escorted away from the only home they have ever known to protect them from the war inevitable between the villagers and the monsters that have upset their way of lives. New challenges, old adversaries, and new allies appear in this volume as our protagonists journey on.

Things that made me happy:
1) Mayor Bo and Shaman Renado are good friends
2) Beth brings all the Ordon kids together
3) Link cries as part of his healthy normal range of emotion
4) After Colin shields Beth from a moblin's attack, Talo also stands up for his friends by punching the moblin
5) Renado is even more badass
6) There is a meaningful connection between the golden wolf and Midna, which helps explain, probably, how she's so at ease astride wolfy Link
7) That reunion with Epona

I really thought they were going to do something more with the pig goblin boss dude and explain a bit why he kept Iilia alive but didn’t care about killing Collin.
I still love how Link has a voice. He is his own character with a personality and it makes these mangas feel like a series in its own world rather than be based on a video game.

The hero is in Green! Say what you will, I’ve always loved Link’s classic attire and elfish pointed cap.
I really enjoyed this volume, from the sweet people of Kakariko village, to the totally epic fight with the mysterious Hero’s Shade, to the iconic battle on the bridge.

I'm enjoying that this retelling is being displayed as even grittier then the games. I'm digging the graphic-ness, I think it lends itself to the story even more than what Nintendo could get away with in the game. It's a shame they couldn't/didn't make the game more graphic. Now I'm just waiting for number 4!

3.5 stars
Link & Midna are on their way to the Death Mountain. The kids from Ordon are being send to Kakariko Village for protection, but just like the rest of Hyrule, it falls to the twilight.
Once again, Link saves the day, and Epona is back!
Midna is a little bit less present in this one. It is more focus on Link accepting to become a hero if this mean saving his friend & Hyrule.

A great continuation to Link's story. This story surprised me more than the previous two. There are some parts of the story that are REALLY dark...like trigger warning dark. But! There's also a lot of warm fuzzy feelings. And a big shout out to the artwork on this one. Himekawa really brought out the intensity of the fight scenes with the illustrations. On to #4!

This album had a lot of action, and I have to say that the art was rather unclear when trying to capture it. More often than not, it just looked like black on white doodles, and I didn't understand what was actually happening.

assuming that each Vol. has about 10 cha. , that means I'm 2 cha. short on finishing this vol.
I honestly don't know if the version I'm reading online is the same as this one .
But oh well , I think I will take a break for a while 'till all chapters are out !

I am having a hard time getting through this series. I think my problem is that these are supposed to be lived not read. If I can keep finding them I will keep reading but I don't know if my difficulty with reading these will change.
