As someone who grew up with a Nintendo controller in one hand and a sword in the other (figuratively speaking), I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgic excitement when it comes to the Legend of Zelda series. The manga adaptations by Akira Himekawa, especially the Legendary Edition Box Set, have been a treasure trove for fans like myself. Not only do you get the classic stories from A Link to the Past onward, but you also get to read actual dialogue from our hero, Link!
As a dedicated fan, I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing numerous adaptations of the iconic Legend of Zelda series, and among them, the long-running manga series by artists A. Honda and S. Nagano, known collectively as Akira Himekawa, stands out as one of the most captivating retellings. At this very moment, you have an opportunity to get your hands on their first 10 volumes in The Legend of Zelda Complete Box Set for a reduced price of $48.17 (originally $104.99). Additionally, the Legendary Edition Box Set is also discounted, available for only $78.99 (was $125).
The best part? You get actual Link dialogue — and he’s pretty eloquent, too!

Both collections share identical tales, but they are presented differently: The Legendary Edition bundles these stories into five books. Personally, I favor the Legendary Box Set because it arrives in a treasure chest, and whenever I open it, I can’t help but hum a tune and dramatically lift the book above my head in triumph as my dog gives me a puzzled look from the side.
Akira Himekawa’s first 10 volumes adapt Zelda’s biggest stories from A Link to the Past onward:
- Ocarina of Time (Parts 1 and 2)
- Majora’s Mask
- Oracle of Seasons
- Oracle of Ages
- Four Swords (Parts 1 and 2)
- The Minish Cap
- A Link to the Past
- Phantom Hourglass
Beyond these, there’s a set of three hardcover Zelda compendiums for those yearning to re-immerse in the series’ rich lore. The “The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia” is priced at $25.52 (originally $39.99) and delves extensively into the series, from the initial NES game up to Twilight Princess, complete with an officially sanctioned timeline that’s quite intricate. Other discounted hardcover Zelda reference books include “The Legend of Zelda: Art & Artifacts” for $23.77 (previously $49.99) and “The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia” for $23.60 (originally $39.99). The latter also includes a Skyward Sword prequel manga by Akira Himekawa.
