Viz Media put on a half hour panel for the A Link to the Past graphic novel, originally released over twelve issues of Nintendo Power back in 1992.

The sales power of Ocarina of Time continues to impress, as it continues to hold the #1 spot in its second week of availability on the Wii U eShop, holding off Splatoon. A Link to the Past also makes an appearance in the top 20, chiming in at #17. I have yet to purchase either of these games on my Wii U, but it’s definitely something I am considering.

Last year, Aeipathy Industries released the first episode of their ambitious Zeldamotion project, an animated adaptation of Akira Himekawa’s A Link to the Past manga.
