"The Legend of Zelda Manga Box Set bundles Link's entire magical quest into a single collection that is a must-read for any true fan of the classic video game. The series wonderfully transforms the game's fast-paced action into a linear storyline, and has been a consistent bestseller since VIZ Media published the first volume in 2008. This new box set is an eye-catching way to revisit the entire series and commemorate the 25th Anniversary of this groundbreaking game title."
The series was created by Akira Himekawa, a pen name for two women known simply as A. Honda and S. Nagano. The pair have created a number of mangas based on the Zelda franchise. The box set is currently available from Amazon UK for £34.
