I’ve had this thought every so often in the past year. Licensed comic books have actually been not rubbish nowadays. I myself have been really loving Transformers and Sonic the Hedgehog. So I’ve been thinking, one video game franchise leans itself perfectly for a fantasy comic book series. The Legend of Zelda.

Now, there have been mangas, which have been adaptations of the games, and there was a short-lived comic by Valiant which was based on the short-lived cartoon (fun fact, one of the artists for two issues was the infamous Ken Penders) but those have always been tie-ins and adaptations, but I’m thinking of an original twist. Taking what came before, mixing them, reinventing them, and in many other ways just coming up with original ideas.

Synopsis is always easy. Princess Zelda, Link, and a thing that crosses their path. I have my own ideas, but I’ll compile them in a comment later. But with Nintendo looking to expand their brands in recent years, with the Mario Movies, and the forthcoming Zelda movie next year, I think this is the perfect time to pitch a new avenue of storytelling. Strike while the iron is hot, get a dynamite writer artist team. Imagine a Zelda Comic drawn by Daniel Warren Johnson, it would be hardcore.

So, everyone else. Do you agree that a Zelda Comic Book is a great idea, or do you think it’s lunacy?
