Back in the heyday of the Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Nintendo Entertainment System, Valiant Comics was authorized by Nintendo to produce the Nintendo Comics System — comic book series based on some of their most popular game titles, including Super Mario Bros. and Metroid. Naturally, given the popularity of The Legend of Zelda, this too was added to the comics lineup.Unlike the manga adaptations which would be produced for the later games, the Valiant comics did not retell the stories of the NES games. The storylines were set in the Hyrule of the original game and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, but took place after the conclusion of the second game. These chronicled the further adventures of Link and Princess Zelda. The comics shared many similarities with the cartoon series based on the games which was popular around the same time; Zelda's costume is very similar to that worn by her animated counterpart, and certain other details were used in both media — for instance, Link owned a horse named Catherine in both the cartoon and the comics, rather than the Epona of the later games. Unlike the cartoon, however, the comic books included the existence of the Triforce of Courage.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Like the rest of the Nintendo Comics System, the series only lasted for roughly two years. Copies of the comics are regarded by some today to be collectors' items.Compare other Zelda comics: Nintendo Power's adaptation of A Link to the Past and the Zelda manga.

10-Minute Retirement: In "Missing in Action," Zelda takes the Triforce of Wisdom with the intention of leaving so Ganon will stop attacking Hyrule. Link's devotion to her persuades her that where she's really safest is wherever he is.

comment
Adaptation Distillation: In the storyline of the second game, the sleeping Princess Zelda is meant to be the "first generation" of Zelda (at the time), as it was decreed every female born into the royal family was to be named after her. Likely due to the confusion that the previously-rescued younger Zelda inexplicably disappeared in that title, the writers simplified this detail and seem to have merged both characters.

Adaptation Dye-Job: Unlike the games, which gave Link brown or reddish-brown hair in his sprite and manual art, the comics present him as a full-on redhead.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })
