A Link to the Past Comic
These comics were originally serialized in the Nintendo Power magazine. The first chapter was released in January 1992, and the series ran up to December the same year. The story loosely follows the plot of the third Zelda game, A Link to the Past, but new twists and characters were added to ensure the readers elements of surprise. The comics were designed by one of Japan’s most famous comic book creators, Shotaro Ishinomori. You can read these comics online, all twelve chapters. Select from the menu below.

Guided by the mysterious figure Uncle Rupee, Tingle fills a mystical spring with money and gain access to the wonderful Rupeeland, a paradise where nobody has to work. Along the way, hire body guards to protect Tingle – but from what? All may not be as it seems in Tingle’s quest for monetary gain, and Rupeeland just might not be so rosy after all...
