This is not Barbie. Wtf.
Uhh that's right this is not Barbie! 😂😂😂
Not Oppenheimer either
Wait this is not henta…
My lawyer has advised me not to finish this joke
@@ThenewJulio in the depths of the internet, there probably is hahaha. I think the phenomenon is called rule something and says that ifvsomething exists on the internet, there will also be porn related to this
@@napoleonfeanor Ah yes i am quite familliar with this tearm
Nintendo really should've greenlit a Twilight Princess anime based on this instead smh.
I really think this would work so well as a 13 episode anime. It will never happen but god I want it.
Twilight, Time/Majora, Wild/Tears and Skyward Sword should all get anime adaptations.
@@SnugboyNah, 12 episodes.
Nah, anime is cringe
@@LinkRammer Zelda is filled with anime tropes and influences bro lmao
The manga, especially Twilight Princess are the examples I use for why Link can work as a vocal protagonist in the movie. Good written dialogue, clear cut voice, everyman personality then dialogue can work. Same with Samus and Metroids manga.
Specially with Samus, I feel the only reason people are skeptical about a talking Samus is because of the bad taste that Other M left on the mouth of Metroid fans.
@@costelinha1867other m left a bad taste? I love that game.
@@ZER0O9 Quality of the game aside, Samus' portrayal, specially in the English dub, is terrible.
@ghenetto I always figured they were trying to portray how she was in the manga, which is why I liked it, didn't know people hated other M.
@@costelinha1867yeah Poor Jennifer Hale
Edit: turns out she wasn’t Samus
To me, the most compelling part of the entire manga was that section they added after Snowpeak where Midna abandoned Link because the power of the master sword was getting to his head and corrupting him, and the unpacking he had to do as a result. The new character who took care of him while he was sick actually made me cry, it was just a beautiful story arc that was completely unique to the manga.
It’s literally the best part you’re so right
@@Snugboy W TASTE OMG
I was so sad you didn't mention it but it was also a huge relief because I was literally white knuckling through the criticism portion of the video like "If THIS is where he mentions the literal peak of the entire series I am going to flip a table."
I don't think she abandoned him, I think she even comments that she was basically there the whole time, Link just couldn't see her because he was going on his Master Sword power trip. He still had to do some introspection which was cool to see. I thought giving us more of the Twilight realm's hierarchy was one of the coolest things that manga did.
@@nillynush4899 Oh I know. I was more 1) Being vague in case someone who hadn't read it read my comment and 2) speaking more to how Link saw it.
Oh my gosh, I 100% agree!! Volume 7 is for sure my favorite of them all!!!!! ❤
3 things the TP Manga hooked me with;
1) Its gore and adult themes like suicide and even abuse.
2) Its blatant shipping of Midna and Link together.
3) Making Midna and Zelda childhood friends, and giving Zelda the memories of her past incarnations (like from OoT).
Not JUST her past incarnation, at least part of the alternate timeline branch off OF her past incarnation. Same for Ganondorf. Both received visions of the Adult Timeline.
I really love the idea of Ganon not as a mindless evil who just wants power, but as the one absolutely *exhausted* party in a trio of souls that can't rest. We're constantly rooting for Link and Zelda, watching the hero's journey, but there are other players in that journey and HE JUST WANTS TO DIE, DAMN IT
I would be exhausted too if my role in life was to try and take over the world, only to end up defeated by a twink every single time.
You got it all wrong man!
These three are NOT the same beings that come back all the time.
They are the manifestations of the three forces that can at some point descend from each other or not.
Another serious mistake is considering Ganondorf just a "guy" who is fed up with being the villain.
That's not how evil works.
Evil is tireless and always wants to have the power to end everything.
There is no evil being who is not to blame for being evil. This is another stupid mistake in today's stories that reduce a villain to a mere wronged poor guy.
Naming Epona “my ass” had me giggling like a school kid during the “I washed” line. 🤣
If the new live action film does base its story on one of the games, Twilight Princess feels like the strongest contender because its story is so much more fleshed out compared to most of the other games. Skyward Sword and Ocarina of Time also feel like reasonable choices for an adaptation, but TP has more interesting character dynamics and motivations imo.
TP has the best story to base off of, but tbh i think OOT will be the one to have it because, its oot, its the poster boy of zelda
I love the Hero Shade the most in the book, how he has this teacher-student dynamic with Link and the fact that he’s the OoT Link makes his relationship with Ganondorf have so much more meaning. I would love a third hero of time game that bridges the gap between MM and TP and tells about how this Link lost everything but plant a bunch of seeds for his descendant, TP Link. I know you don’t like it but I do. For him it’s like the Hyrule King’s redemption in Windwaker where he’s like “you ruined my life long ago but now that I’m here with my grandson, I will insure you won’t ruin any future generation”
you should check out major link's 'a heroes purpose' if you haven't already. it's a brilliant fan animation that seems to be exactly what you're looking for
@@blobby883 I just saw it a few minutes ago. Episodes 1-5 and I’m not saying that I’m disappointed, I’m just saying that Commonwealth realm spoiled me with 2 of their videos, “The Tragic Life of The Hero of Time”, and “The Third Hero of Time Game”
They basically turned Hero's Shade into Link's version of Skull Knight and I love it.
For me this really felt like the “Jonathan Joestar is Star Platinum” of the zelda franchise
I hope that Link’s character in the live action movie is like this, would be a good adaptation that allows him to talk and have a personality
Ah right, this Is happening, the zelda movie o_o
I finished the twilight princess manga two months ago… For some reason Im still so obsessed with it. Link’s personality, backstory, development are just never leaving my head and I can’t help but picture this is my favorite iteration of him, even if it isnt from the literal games
As someone who never played the game, reading the manga was a great experience. I think they could have improved some things but overall it's a solid 8/10 from me. Really liked your editing in this one, and MY GOODNESS YOU ACTUALLY TORE A MANGA PAGE! 23:23
WAIT YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME?? Ok so tell me was the story good enough without having that prior knowledge for you??? After I finished I sort of wondered if you could even recommend this to someone who's never played the game.
And yeah RIP I didn't mean to but oops 😭
THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS KING
I found it to be very interesting, I knew roughly what happened in TWP but not the little things, and as you said, the manga really expands on those and helps flesh out the characters. I can't say one is better than the other, but it's a unique situation where both are good options, its just about what medium you'd prefer to experience the story in.
As I chose to read the manga, I didn't really see all the things you pointed out as "bad bits" just neat little differences from what I already knew about the game. Thanks for recommending the manga btw, it was very cool.
Also yeah, it has happened to me a few times, not on my own books though thankfully.
@@Snugboy
PLAY IT OR WE WILL FIND YOU!!!!!!!!
I'm glad they deepened the connection with Zelda and Midna. I always assumed they knew each other politically because of their dialogue, but the way it's executed in the manga is a thousand times better! This is my favorite Zelda and I haven't read all the books, but I'm collecting them slowly.
Perfect timing. This adaptation would be amazing for the live action movie they are planning.
I'm always looking for more TP recognition, but for a movie-length feature I think I'd rather have an abridged OoT. Now, if Nintendo ever wanted to do a full length anime or a series of animated ovas, it'd be TP all the way. The art would be gorgeous.
Bullshit..... everyone knows the CDI zelda games are the perfect choice for a movie adaptation.
I love the mangas because there’s so much more room for story because they don’t have to focus on gameplay. I mean… how did they manage to make me love OOCCOO of all characters? 11/10 would recommend, thank you for bringing attention to this
I mean... Ooccoo is ooccoo 🥰
@@Snugboy ooccoo is a chicken with a bald head duck-taped onto it
AND I LOVE HER IN THE MANGA
…WHAT
ngl I feel the issue you had with the hero of time at the end wasn’t nearly that big a deal like he shows up for 5 seconds then leaves lol. He doesn’t take away from tp Link’s big moment, just gave him one last “good luck” essentially
Link and Midna kiss? Hot damn, I'm sold!
You know the gods hate you when the last guy also shows up for the runback, poor ganondorf
LMAO
TP has always been my favorite Zelda story and i found the manga this year and completely binged it.
i found it so interesting that Link initially rejected the call to action in Faron Woods and then succumbed to the power of the master sword. We had never really seen Link grapple with his destiny and have to figure how to be the chosen hero. Also, Dark Link got fleshed out and manifests as a result of Link's doubts about himself?! Chef's kiss!
Great video as always! TP supremacy 🐺
TP Supremacy forever 🐺
I remember the one issue with Link going through the Goron Mines and Lakebed Temple.That moment where we see Ilia had lost her memories and entered complete panic almost drove me to tears when I read it.
my sibling owns a few of the volumes so i did know about the manga but since we can only find one random volume here and there i never knew about the whole story but i LOVE that they include more about how all of the responsibilities and burdens of being a hero weigh down on link. makes him feel so much more like a living breathing character instead of a guy who is just naturally gifted and becomes a hero just because
alsoooo the way the artists draw link got me blushing and kicking my feet because FOR WHAT REASON did they make him so attractive
HAHAHAHAHA MARINOVA THANK YOU FOR COMMENT AS USUAL
The Heroes of Twilight, Time, Wild and Sky all deserve to have anime adaptations of their games.
You should also do reviews of the OOT and MM manga too. Nice video
I love how much positivity you put into Twilight Princess, after so many people love to trash it in their videos~ And love that somebody's covering the manga! The way they reimagined the story is so perfect for making Link an actual character and giving the narrative greater depths to dive into.
sorry i am spamming the hell out of your comments, but yeah, himekawa does fumble those endings sometimes. i noticed in several of their mangas that they get so invested in the lore they’ve added or enhanced, and then there’s almost a crash when they remember Things Still Have To End How They Do In The Game. in the case of twilight princess i think they got very invested in midna and link’s relationship, and honestly might have made some of the final choices out of spite (like pairing off ilia and shad). not in a mean spirited or resentful way, just in a bittersweet way that could possibly speak to how deeply they’ve become endeared to their personal interpretation. in the case of this and four swords, i would genuinely love to know what they would have done with the endings if it was truly up to them. when you work on a project for a long time, especially with a partner, it makes sense that your vision kind of becomes its own thing.
never apologise!!!!! reading comments is my favourite part!!! thank you for engaging so much with this I really appreciate it!!!! I will def read four swords and tell you my thoughts fr
Bro, you didn't have to do Midna like that! 😭😂 19:47
I'm glad you mentioned how sometimes they fumbled the bag when it came to some scenes. When I was reading some parts I would get confused as to why they did something a certain way and sometimes even dislike the choice to change it, but since I don't hear a lot of conversations over this manga, I never heard anyone say anything about it so I figured it was just a me problem. Glad to know I'm not the only one who thought like that
People don't talk about the mangas at all. Specially the ZeldaTubers, they focus too much in lore theories that they don't want to even touch non-canon stuff, unless it's for poking fun at the Tingle games, sadly.
The manga having these art styles that makes me feel nostalgic. Like reflections of popular artstyles long past but applying to Zelda.
I always walk past the TP books at work and they’re always “calling” me but I already have a bunch of Zelda books I haven’t finished 😭
I swear the idea of Ganondorf having tea is not something I expected 😂
8:18 Okay, I lol'd hard at the "Ganondorf kicks the tea table over" scene.
Edit: forgot to say: TP _ÜBER ALLES_
I’m so glad to see more Twilight Princess videos from you. You’re a great RUclipsr and you put so much work in your videos, and Twilight Princess was so important to my childhood
I’m so glad to hear someone talk about how good the manga are! I always feel like I’m the only one who’s read them so seeing the made me SO happy
Thank you so much for the Twilight Princess love!! It's my favorite game of the series and I'm so excited to see another person get all fired up about it. Also Akira Himekawa's work definitely varies in quality, but their good contributions are great. The extra manga bit at the end of the Hyrule Historia about Skyloft is insane. It really dives into Link's psyche and the how worn out a soul can get when it is constantly thrust into the role of a "hero". Really great video!!!
“I washed my ass for you” at 4:14 came so out of nowhere 💀💀💀
I personally really love the manga. They managed to make Link a fascinating character, which I like because I too have always wanted him just a tad less blank in the games. One of my favorite scenes not mentioned here was when Link was injured and the Hero's Shade revealed his face. Good stuff. 👌
I appreciate talking about the fumbles though. Glad I'm not the only one who thought the final volume was a bit mishandled. But overall, a super fun read for one of my favorite Zelda games.
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!!! god I love this manga SO MUCH! the art, the story, and how each character is implemented in the game, I'm still dreaming of the day that maybe it will be an anime, Its just SO GOOD!
I totally never knew the manga was finished, I was only able to find so many volumes of it!
This video is absolutely amazing and I love how you always tell both sides, like why you like and dislike something.
We love you, Snug!!!!
THANK YOU MYSHI FOR BEING THE GOAT AS ALWAYS
I love the manga so much, I’ve never been able to play the game and it was so cool! I’m a big Zelda fan and have played other Zelda games, and when Link speaks in the manga it doesn’t feel strange like if he would speak in the games, it feels natural and like him. The art is so beautiful, and the action panels are done so well! I recommend the tp manga and the Oracles manga that Akira Himekawa also did. Both tell the stories very well!
I tend to stay away from Twilight Princess content on RUclips because the game means so, so much to me - like it’s not just my favorite game, but one of, if not my favorite thing EVER, *period* - but it’s so, so nice to see there are other people who love this game as much as I do. the internet is wonderful sometimes :’))
Way to keep stretching yourself as a creator! I love seeing you tackle and adapt to medium after medium, all the while maintaining your distinct Snugboy flare. Your critiques are eloquent and well-backed up as always, complimented by narration that fully places the viewer right into the tale, dude Snugboy audiobook when??? Congrats on the return man, it's good to have you back!
Watching your videos got me into twilight princess again! It's such a rich and amazing game and it really doesn't get enough credit! I am halfway through this Manga and I'm loving it. You just can't beat the feel of the world and characters.😊
I just finished reading the manga today and I absolutely loved it! The illustrations were gorgeous and the direction they took the story in was so enchanting.
I loved getting to know Link. It was definitely a shock to see him talk at first, but he makes for such an endearing protagonist. I loved seeing him as this strong, confident protector on the outside while being tormented by guilt and fear on the inside.
I also loved the creative liberties Akira Himekawa took for the story, like Zelda and Midna’s relationship, the unending cycle of the Triforce, and fleshing out the Hero’s Shade as the hero from Ocarina of Time.
I’m quite new to the world of Zelda; the only games I’ve ever played were Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. But I’ve become so curious to learn more about Zelda’s history and seeing the pieces that repeat with each iteration. The Twilight Princess manga did an incredible job at showcasing what makes the world of Hyrule so special.💕
oh i am so excited to watch this and idk if you do touch on it but please consider also reading four swords. it is absolutely unhinged. nobody knows about it and it kills me. purple (vio) link and shadow link are insane and it’s all just himekawa doing whatever they want with the pretty basic undefined ingame characters. highly highly recommend and would love to see a reaction if it intrigues you
Definitely will give it a read!! On the list 🫡
@@Snugboyohh i just got to the four swords mention and i know this sounds crazy, but it is actually often regarded as their best zelda manga. i’m not joking. i think it is partially bc four swords doesn’t have much of a story, so they just went wild. as a fellow twilight princess enjoyer, i think you will dig it!
One good reason I see for Midna’s absence from the throne room is because Midna has all the protagonist energy in that scene in the original game. Ganondorf only addresses Midna and not Link in the actual game. That scene is for Link, and Midna comes later to help and her sacrifice in sending Link and Zelda out is then reciprocated nicely.
Ah. So good to see another one you're videos. I love your editing style and humor. Great video!
The most interesting part of the zelda manga pantheon is a single chapter that, to my knowledge, only released alongside hyrule historia. It's an entirely original tale portraying the events immediately before Hylia created Skyloft. It definitely bites off more than it could chew with only 32 pages to tell its entire story, but what's there is fascinating and could be expanded upon, like with the recently announced zelda movie.
The final battle including the Hero's Shade left me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, I felt exactly the way you did, let my boy have his own triumph pls the hero of time had enough times to shine.
On the other hand, I loved that little moment between TP Zelda and OoT Link. It really managed to capture what we see so little of in the series, the connection between Hylia and her hero, no matter what time or form they are in, at least in my opinion.
Great video!!
20:45 nah, I didn't have any problem with that,
I mean, it was literally the fucking avatar state, sure, Zelda is about reincarnations and stuff, but not even a single game handled that element like the avatar series, it added another layer to the "eternal conflict and reincarnations"
Ganondorf is the same one across like 4 games, yet he never mentions a single thing about how every hero looks exactly the same, seeing each link as his own entity while sharing the spirit of the hero was a good point for me, also that part when link is at his lowest and the OOT link acts as a real mentor, caring for the next hero, as he didn't managed to pass his knowledge,
I would love to see an animated adaptation to the manga, sure, the only moment that wasn't as epic was that with colin, but to be fair, it's the only epic moment in all TP, even Oot had a lot more of epic moments,
in TP we have the whole hyrule army and yet it's the 20th time that link goes alone, defeats an entire army and everybody just celebrate while not knowing who TF saved them once more, I hate that kind of tropes in videogames, I'm glad that they added more characters to the fight and developed more interactions
Love the editing in the video and your energy as usual! The Twilight Princess manga makes me hope that the live-action Legend of Zelda movie (... yea) could try a similar dark tone,,, fingers crossed that it won't be terrible. Would love to hear your thoughs on it as well!!
Great video my dude! Love the hard work you put in this!
When I first heard about the upcoming Zelda movie (which I am very nervous about btw) was that they should adapt TP because it is the most cinematic ... and I guess now it's time to read the manga again. Thanks for your video!
Interesting fact about this manga. Like most Zelda games the manga was originally meant to be released around the time the game first came out, however they couldn’t find a publisher for it so it was shelved. Not too surprising as we had games with multiple different manga versions (like the first four games) and some without (the original Four Swords and Spirit Tracks) a short prequel story (Skyward Sword) as well as some that were just sketch comedy (The Wind Waker) but Twilight Princess is interesting because by the time they did find a publisher the game had already been out for a long time by then so they didn’t have as many restrictions making this one way longer and more brutal compared to all of the others that came before.
i hope to god nintendo for some reason just says fuck it then greenlights a zelda anime to be produced
the way I love your videos this one is the 4th i'm watching (in a row) it just hit the spot so right (I'm obsessed with twilight princess) amazing videos ! thank you for your work ahah
this is so sweet thank you so much 🥹
Me and my brother started reading it, and WE LOVE IT!
We couldn't continue it, but we really want to pick it up again!
Great video! I've always loved the manga, it made me really sad to see how underrated it was. Thanks for going into so much depth! I enjoyed a lot!
This is almost too good to be true. I can't believe legend of zelda has a manga and has been out for this long this could grow into a potential anime.
You did NOT name Epona “my ass” 😂
I almost spit out my drink laughing at that
I actually read this without ever having played the game because i don't own a system able to run it. And honestly i tought it was perfect. I can see what you mean tho in bits
Twilight Princess is my favorite Zelda story so I bet this will make me like it that much more! Great vid
should have done this for the og twilight princess and barbie videos, but making up for it now. i love your humor and insights so much. You Get It!!!
THIS IS SO SWEET! You really didn't have to do this. Thank you!! 💖
@@Snugboyyou make passionate and thoughtful videos about relatively niche media just because you like it. that energy is both infectious and refreshing, and deserves support!
@@gamsougher3574 🥺🥺🥺
Great video. I agreed with most of not all your points and I wanted to add that although I love this manga for being darker I do feel like it wasn’t consistent making some scenes feel jarring. For example when Link and ilia get attacked and Link gets his arm cut off I remember being interestedly horrified but then a couple pages later Link’s Wolf transformation was dumbed down to what looked like Link in a jacuzzi instead of his iconic and graphic transformation
2:21 Correction- there are both weekly AND monthly manga serializations in Japan, sometimes biweekly depending on the magazine. For example, while manga like One Piece and My Hero Academia have chapters released weekly(in Weekly Shonen Jump no less), manga such as Fullmetal Alchemist, Blue Exorcist and most of the Kingdom Hearts manga adaptations were published in monthly anthologies.
Given that Twilight Princess manga was 58 chapters released over 6 years, I’d say this was a monthly release with some of the bigger chapters released in parts.
25:08 Also, fitting lines from the game word for word may be hard if the speech/thought bubble it's in doesn't have enough space to make it fit.
All that said, this was a good video😀 And I’d like to see your thoughts on the other Zelda manga or even other game-based manga/shows in the future. Keep up the good work👍
Thumb Ups if you want Manga Twilight Princess get adapt into a full anime animation.
Yes!! Link and Midnas relationship is one of the best in videogames!! As someone who identifies on the ace/aromantic spectrum, I really like these stories that focus on friendship rather than romance. Friendships, sisterhoods, brotherhoods, found family, etc should be just as important (if not more imo) than romance. It bugs me that fan bases need to ship every character especially in the anime fandoms. The only ship I really care for in every Zelda game/story is Zelda and Link cuz it’s the stereotypical heroic knight and damsel Princess. If a ship isn’t intentional then I really don’t see it 🤷♀️
People can like ships as long as they don't annoy other people with it
Making Link and Midna a couple in the manga felt like pure fan service. Also, Shad and Ilia becoming a thing really didn't make sense to me-- as if it was only thrown in so that they could make Link x Midna kinda-sorta work. Otherwise, Ilia would probably be alone forever... unlike in the game, where she and Link are heavily implied from the very beginning to at least have some romantic interest in one another. I dunno, maybe it's just me overthinking things like I always do.
Anyway, excellent work as always, Snugboy. You're the coolest and--just like Twilight Princess--criminally underrated. One day, I know you'll gain the audience and appreciation you deserve.
I think you missed thzt both gannondorf and zelda remembered their past lifes and they took that chance to have a moment with the hero of time which both remember clearly and seemed to be the love interest of zelda.
The Manga were actually my first exposure to the Zelda series. I read every single one and collected the Twilight Princess volumes while they were releasing. It's so nice to see people talk about them more.
Wait there's a TP Akira Himekawa manga? AND it's way longer than the others? Dude, thanks for informing me, I need to read that thing right tf now! Be back to watch the rest of the video when I'm done!
I finished reading this manga late last year and it was truly incredible. I played the game to bits when I was young and while I agree with your criticisms (stuff that never occurred to me during my read) this adaption made me fall in love with the story all over again.
i dont usually comment but the noises i emitted when i saw someone make a video on the best loz mangas to date... they were scary.
twilight princess is my faourite video game ever and it's a shame to see so few people recognize it as a great piece of media. but then again to each their own.
i hope this video gets more people to read the mangas and maybe even gets them to play the game! thank you for making this video, i really enjoyed it :)
I grabbed the first three editions back when they came out and I liked the way they took it and some of the liberties and overall I think it’s great, there are some things I wish had been left out but I like it
I almost choked and died with the Australian Lizalfos
Im glad someone is talking about this manga, im suprised more zelda youtubers arent.
I know that in the French translation of the manga, a few passages are directly coming from the game, such as the first line of the Hero of Time's shade or Zant's monologue just before he dies.
I own all 11 volumes and it’s one of my favorites and yea there’s definitely rough moments but overall I loved how much more in depth all the characters and world were and twilight princess to me is still the best Zelda I love it ^^
I've been trying to collect all of the Twilight Princess manga, but I haven't been able to yet which totally blows. Being my favorite Zelda game, it's a really cool addition!
Twilight Princess’s manga blows all the other Zelda mangas out of the water. It’s soooooo good, and made me appreciate TP.
I too felt like the ending was kinda weird, but that aside I really enjoyed this adaptation, probably my second favorite behind the Oracle duo. It seriously nailed character moments, and the art at times went insane (though this also means there's weird tone shifts with how much the amount of detail can fluctuate.) It still did fall into the trap of needing to adhere to the dungeon progression, but it was handled better than it has been previously (most egregious is the Ocarina of Time manga doing the Water Temple in three pages, yeah right.)
I'd be curious to see what you think of Akira Himekawa's other adaptations too!
Absolutely sick editing m8. I couldn't help but keep thinking how much of a clusterfk your timeline would have been bahaha
But unfortunately you ommited the Zant neck crack sound effect, so I'm telling mum.
Read all of it. Decided to finish the story last year after having it warm the shelf for almost 2 years - it was cool.
I may have grown with the LoZ OoT on N64, but my love for TP is high up on the list too, I LOVED THE MANGA- I only own that one small short one because my friend got it for me as a gift from free comic book day...and let's just say, that's one of the best gifts ever
Man, the ending was phenomenal. Need to buy this physical manga
I actually found almost all of these zelda mangas in my elementary school’s library on accident. I read all of them, and loved it 😊
SPOILER!!!

OK, I remember reading the chapter were Ilia was about to comity suicide by cutting her wrist with a broken cup ... I was shocked that they even did that and I’m very glad they did because it gave weight to her story and motivations ... she got her act together and snapped out of it but it’s still a horrifying thing to see in a Zelda manga of all things !
God, I loved this series!
I found the first part in a bookstore and bought it now I have up to part 4 and I am planning of getting the complete collection
YES! This is what I've tried to say for years, thank you!
Edit: As someone who has been a weeb and reading manga on the regular for a good 15 years now I never had an issue with the art. Drawing this many panels is never easy and I thought the art looked fantastic most of the time.
Just watched through and I have to say that, probably my least favorite part about it was how they handled Link, Midna, AND Illia in the second half. The thing with Rusl is fine for a few chapters, but from the beginning they set up this really cute relationship dynamic with Link and Illia, and it pays off SO WELL when she gets her memories back, the panel of Link standing there holding out his hand while shes on the ground and before she embraces him is my favorite panel of the whole book. And then after that, she just kinda gets forgotten about and Midna is now randomly the love interest, it comes off like a really bad Bleach Ichigo x Rukia fanfic that ends as a tragedy for some reason and leaves the original love interest character off to the side doing nothing (Ichigo and Rukia's relationship reminded me a lot of Link and Midna's when I was watching through it), Illia got a really great usage in the series but that aspect soured me hard.
Though it did introduce me to what is probably my favorite usage of Dark Link that I have ever seen, this Dark Link wasn't a minion created by Ganondorf or Zant, but rather was just a literal reflection of Link himself and his darkest thoughts, the fight was wild and the visual of Link actually having stabbed himself is genius, and him showing up later when Link is bedridden and crying was just the cherry on top. Love it
I'm too lazy to read the manga but the art is cute as hell so I'm enjoying experiencing it through the video
Thank you bocci bee 🫡
I used to read these in barns and noble, I still have a copy of OoT's and I'm working on collect them all like the Triforce pieces
I saw the title and yelled "AGREED!" outloud.
4 minutes in, I don't need to be convinced any further, I shall play the game, then read the manga, you've earned a new subscriber, have a good day
... why haven't I read this?
Thank you for bringing this into my attention!
i literally loved these manga as a kid, i remember waiting for the third volume to come out :)
this is why you're my favorite Australian RUclipsr who talks about Zelda and barbie
I've been looking forward to the for soooooo long! I haven't gotten my hands on the TP manga yet and diving deeper into this story is just so intriguing. There is no one I trust more to give me the best account of anything Twilight Princess than Snugboy. Give me all the Snugboy Twilight Princess content!! If I said to you right now what is the most underappreciated Zelda game what would you say... no really what would you say...
I might actually read this manga now because of how exited you were. Edit) newbie to zelda
twilight princess is also my fav zelda game and the manga are amazing, I'm totally with you
i REALLY hope skyward sword eventually gets this treatment
there is so much they could do with ghirahim, zelda, impa, and my man GROOSE.
and i would love to see link actually be allowed to talk during the big scene where zelda reveals everything to link about who she is. seriously we see him practically crying when she seals himself but what would that scene be like were he allowed to FULLY express hiself
and give us more on the loftwings. they were such a big sotry element in the very begining of the game but then it's nothing more then a ride after the ceremony
there is SO much you could do with skyward sword and i really want to see what they would do after this masterful retelling of twilight princes
Twilight Princess supremacy ✊ I’ll have to add this one to my list!
Im getting the twilight princess manga series for my birthday and i am super excited.
