The Four Swords Part II manga by Akira Himekawa was released yesterday, October 6th, in bookstores across America. Like the other mangas in the series, the story will be based on the game itself. Look for it in your local bookstore or order online for a cover price of $7.99.

Continuing the series, look for The Minish Cap to be released December 1 and A Link to the Past on February 2.

Already released are Ocarina of Time Part I, Ocarina of Time Part II, Majora’s Mask, Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, and Four Swords Part I.
