Honestly this is such an enigma of a manga, and very hard to access if you do not speak Japanese or rather are able to read it. The manga very loosely follows the first Legend of Zelda game released on NES and Famicom and it is interesting to see how people adapted the series and its character before the modern designs for these characters were widespread ; one of these examples is how they draw Ganon almost looking like a giant Darth Vader which is very funny. We also get some original stuff in the form of Link's new talking parrot named Watto who isa materialistic predecessor to Ocarina of Time's Navi, and the strange addition of Hercules or Hekuraresu who aids Link in his journey to save Princess Zelda as the resident strong tough man. It was also funny to see Princess Zelda send a hologram message similar to that of Princess Leia in Star Wars: A New Hope.
Honestly what this manga made me personally think of is how cool an adaptation of the original Zelda games in the style of the Katsuya Terada's original artstyle.
Overall I think this is a cool piece of obscure media for Legend of Zelda fans to seek out and take a look at for its novelty.
