It’s a bit strange that it took until 2016 for 2006’s The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess to get a manga adaptation, but here we are. Well-known manga-ka duo Akira Himekawa started adapting the Nintendo classic four years ago, and now, their journey looks to be coming to an end.
The duo announced that the Twilight Princess manga will be entering its final arc in June. No word on how long that arc will run in total, but given this announcement, it’s hard to imagine it going for too much longer. In all likelihood, we’ll probably see Link and Midna’s journey wrap up some time over the next year.
Akira Himekawa have been at the Zelda adaptation grind for a while, starting way back in 1998 with their fun adaptation of Ocarina of Time. Since then, they’ve adapted a total of ten different Zelda entries, on top of their own personal projects.
No word on what’s in the cards for the duo next, but my money’s on a Breath of the Wild adaptation. It’s the best-selling Zelda of all time, and it seems like a missed opportunity to not adapt it. Regardless, I’ll be excited to see what the duo cooks up next.
