Shotaro Isinomori, a renowned Japanese comic book artist, created and illustrated this comic. It was initially serialized in Nintendo Power Magazine, comprising 12 installments ranging from January 1992 (Volume 32) to December 1992, and later published as a book in 1993. While it mostly traces the narrative of ALttP, some exclusive features were added to "amplify the dramatic pace and generate an element of astonishment."
