This is the official manga for Ocarina of Time. It was written and illustrated by Akira Himekawa, the same artist who made many of the other Zelda mangas. It is in black and white with some pretty nicely illustrated drawings. It is divided into two volumes; with ten chapters in the first volume, and five in the second volume. The chapters in this manga is divided into two parts called the "Child Saga" and the "Adult Saga". Plot in the manga follows the exact plot of the game, but with a few differences. There are three bonus chapters added at the end of volume two.

This first volume of this manga was released in Japan on January 28, 2000 and the second volume was released on April 26, 2000. The series is published in English on 2008 by Viz Media as Volumes 1 and 2 of their Zelda comic series.
