Fan translation of Phantom Hourglass manga is done photo

Zelda fans it's time to put down Spirit Tracks for a couple of seconds and get some reading done. The manga based on The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass has finally been fully translated and can be read at your leisure by going here. I'm sure you have lots of free time right now to read through it because you aren't playing games you got for Christmas.

The manga follows the exact same plot as the game, except it is shortened down a bit. In my opinion the artwork is less impressive than the game's, and if you're getting less story with weaker artwork I'm not really sure I see the point of this. We should all thank BerriBlue for the translation though, and once you tear through all your holiday gaming gifts this could be a great way to kill some time.

I'll tell you the point of this--the manga going through that stupid stealth dungeon again and again and again so you don't have to.

I've been loving the Zelda manga up to now. Recently I finished the Four Swords story, which wasn't as great since the game doesn't ring as well with me, but the previous ones I've thought have been great and nostalgic adaptations.

I probably wont read Phantom Hourglass until the official release late next year, I but cant wait to see how Minish Cap and LTTP have been done.

I know they read from right to left over there, but couldn't they have put up the artwork reversed so that I don't have to keep starting to read the bubbles on the left like I am used to?

Also, I liked it better when Link didn't speak (like he was a 12 year old manga fan). Pass.

i liked the wind waker manga... instead of following a strict narrative, it was mostly joke strips that only vaguely followed the story... i found it pretty funny at times
