I'll just quote a post I made a while ago... I was sure that I made the post on this forum at some point, too. Anyway:Holy crap, what?
Please provide an interview quote which states this explicitly.
his contradicts so many things! Bongo Bongo wasn't there and Impa trained Link not to mention he didn't even go into the Shadow Temple! Dark Link came out of the Kakariko Well instead and that happened before you got the Fire Medallion (I think). Link encounters almost all of the bosses at the entrance of the dungeon and Mido gave him the bow in the Forest Temple while none of that happened either! Link actually makes the Slingshot instead of finding it inside the Deku Tree, Nabooru helps him out in the Spirit Temple whereas in the game she is brainwashed by Twinrova to try to kill Link, Link saved and befriended Volvagia whereas in the game he just comes to the Fire Temple and kills him, he doesn't meet Goro Link, Shiek helps him out after Link falls into a lava pit, Shiek doesn't teach Link a single song, Link never meets a single Great Fairy, he doesn't pick up Heart Containers or Pieces of Heart, he doesn't pick up recovery hearts or bombs or arrows from grass and pots, Shiek's true identity is revealed at the Spirit Temple, and finally Link does not dispel barriers at Ganon's Castle! *his brain explodes from the mass oof contradictions*
But moving on, I think it's pretty cool how Link and Volvagia became friends.
...Eiji Aunoma agrees with Honda. He says he develops the games but cannot introduce all the elements the Zelda team actually wish for. The manga makes this up for them by filling the gaps in Zelda "precisely"
It only FILLS IN GAPS!!!!! The Game itself is still Canon. What's in the manga is just Canon aswell.
Understand?
Exactly why I'm so iffy on the matter.
If the manga is Canon then it explains things which weren't explained in the game such as how Link got his earing etc. However for things like Volvagia, I say Game >Manga.
Get working on it, then! XD So far, the only manga that's confirmed canon is OoT, but who knows about MM.... Personally, I didn't care much for the MM manga, either.grrr , when I make animated movies in the future I swear I hope Nintendo likes my ideas for Majora's Mask better than the manga because I hated that manga (totally ruined the game.)
