Forums - Nintendo - The Legend of Zelda Manga Officially Confirmed For North America!!!

Source: http://zentendo.com/news.php?newsId=1009

Today I received a e-mail from Evelyn over at Viz confirming that they will be publishing The Legend of Zelda Manga across the United States, with a release date of 7th October, 2008 for the first volume.

Many people have been speculating about what game this manga will be, and naturally most of the speculation was true and it is Ocarina of Time. Naturally there is a lack of information on Viz's front as this information should never have been leaked to the internet, and they didn't have any information in regards to this.

However, we do have the descriptions of the two mangas, and they are as follows:

Volume 1

In the mystical land of Hyrule, three spiritual stones hold the key to the Triforce, and whoever holds them will control the world. A boy named Link sets out on a quest to deliver the Emerald, the spiritual stone of the forest, to Zelda, Princess of the land of Hyrule. The journey will be long and perilous, and Link will need all his skill and courage to defeat evil. The battle for Hyrule and the Sacred Realm has begun!

Volume 2
After completing his training Link begins his journey to seek the remaining Sages. Meanwhile, Ganondorf continues looking for Princess Zelda and plotting to capture Link with the aid of the witches known as Twinrova. At the urging of the mysterious Sheik, Link enters the Haunted Wasteland to find Zelda. The journey will be dangerous but Link is determined to overcome the Twinrova's traps and survive to face Ganondorf in an epic final battle!

So, that's out this October in America, currently there's no UK release date at the moment, however, Viz are normally pretty quick at getting manga across the water to the UK.

What do you guys think of this? I'm not sure on if this Manga was already released anywhere else, but i don't think so...
