Well, it seems my copy of The Minish Cap manga finally arrived today. I've begun to scan it, you can see the first 30 pages of it up now in the Image Gallery. I must say it looks really awesome and I can't wait for the fan translations, even though I roughly get the gist of it. Additionally, this weekend I pilfered a ton of old content from my old PC, including a bunch of Nintendo Power back issues courtesy of Mak. There's also a ton of new images up in random places, in particular my own personal "junk" gallery.
 
For the purpose of deceiving my parents, I had to hide my brand spanking new PC and hook up my older Dell. While spending the weekend awaiting my 23rd birthday, I got an early present. I went through all of my old files, and found a ton of unique stuff no longer online anywhere, lost in the mists of time. Much of this stuff you have seen before, but it has been so long since anyone has had it up, it's cool to see it again. The most important thing I found were Mak's Nintendo Power back issues, which have cool Zelda information from the past.

 

Also, my The Minish Cap manga arrived. I do not wish to steal the spotlight away from either Zelda Legends or Zelda Infinite with their wonderful fan translations, but I do feel I have the right to post my own scans of the original text for comparison. I also plan to, in a few years after I complete my Japanese courses and become fluent, to do my own translations because I sort of would like to see my own interpretation of the manga and because I wish to understand more of Zelda through language comparisons and text differences.
 
Thus, I have created a new "manga" area in the Image Gallery. This also has prompted me to rethink how I label some content. I think when I get a chance, I will go back and give proper descriptions to each file as to help those who wish to legally purchase these materials the necessary information. This would be stuff like ISBN numbers and such, as well as links to popular places which sell import stuff. For starters, Sasuga Books is awesome for manga, and Game Music is awesome for legal, authentic imports of music and sheet music.
 
I hope you all will enjoy the upcoming media.
