Akira Himekawa Releases a Few More Manuscripts of Majora’s Mask Manga
Posted on March 09 2015 by Rod Lloyd
Over the last few weeks, Akira Himekawa (female duo behind the Zelda manga series) has been releasing rare manuscript pages of the Majora’s Mask manga in honor of Majora’s Mask 3D. The first two sets of manuscripts showed off pages from a cut storyline involving Romani Ranch. Last week, Himekawa released another set of manuscript pages which depict some rough, early drawings of Zora Link interacting with the Indigo-Go’s. These are really cool behind-the-scenes images for fans of the manga to check out.
The manuscript pages feature Zora Link interacting with Indigo-Go’s members, most notably Japas. According to Himekawa, the panels of Zora Link are alternative versions of the smaller ones that ended up in the final manga; they also admitted this is their favorite scene in the manga. The rough manuscript pages are extremely cool to look at, and they show off what some of the scenes looked like before they were finalized. If Himekawa ever decides to release prints of these manuscripts, I will be first in line to buy them.
What do you think of these manuscript pages? Do you hope to see more, even from other Zelda mangas? Let us know!
