Manga?

Will there (is there) a Twilight Princess manga? If there is, is there any place I can find a English translation?

There isn't one out yet; I'm still waiting for a Wind Waker one. And a Phantom Hourglass one.

It takes a long time to make a manga, just so you know; it could be in the process of being made, or the manga-ka is working on an original story or another doujinshi.

And when I say "it takes a long time to make a manga," I mean it's taken me two weeks to write five pages. Haha. Er, usually though, professionals can get two-three pages in a day. ^^ Average manga = at least 100 pages. Soooo...

It better stick to the facts. It pisses me off that the writers start making stuff up or changing things.

I like it when they stick to facts, but I'm okay with adding plausible things to explain some element in the story.

Original characters that are important are generally sucky, though. HI MY NAME IS ROSE N I LIKE LINK AND WERE MARRIED AND- -brick'd-

Hi no Seijin

Why did you have to tarnish the good name of Rose Emily Left Hillmound? :'(

In all fairness, the maiden name "Left" tarnishes her name already. >>

Space Compression; they can't fit all the details of an entire game in just one or two volumes... So they make do by cutting some stuff out and putting in original content to make it flow (a bit) better.

There, there. At least she didn't say anything about Seth.

Just a thought, how awesome would it be to have Burlo in one of the games...?

Also, as long as they don't change the whole flow of the story I don't really care. It would seem kinda boring to read exactly what I did in the game. Although it would help to read how to get past a hard puzzle or boss.

To be on the fiar side, some of the original things are beter than the game. For example, in the MM manga it actually explians about majora (albiet with an explanation that is kinda stupid).

Whenever people play a vidoegame, it's exciting because you're controlling Link, and whether Link makes it out or not is based on what you do. But in a manga, if Link is just doing stuff like, "Link kills an octorok, here comes a leever, Link kills it, here comes another leever, Link kills it again" is kind of boring becuase you know who have no control over what Link is doing, and you know Link will always make it out alive, (because he always does). Which is why I kind of wonder why some people like to watch sports when it would be much more exciting if they do it themselves. It's kind of scarey, but thrilling to know that you're depended on.
However, I don't think that was exactly what Iron Knuckle was talking about. For example: SOME SPOILERS!! I DUNNO!!!

At the end of Minish Cap, Vaati gets sealed away into the Foru Sword, Zelda gets turned back to normal, Ezlo goes through the portal, and good times are had by all. Unlike in the manga, Vaati realizes his mistakes, turns back into a Minish along with Ezlo and they go back to the Minish world together. Personally, I like the ending to the manga a little better. But it definately screws up what happened in Four Sword. If Vaati was never sealed away into the Four Sword at the end of Minish Cap and he becomes good at the end, then why is Vaati sealed in the Four Sword and why is he evil in the Four Swords manga?>

No, I don't mean when it takes out simple things like Link kils an octorok.

I mainly mean when it changes something or adds wierd things like in the OOT manga where it has sheik acting as ganons agent, link encountering a bird like race called the watara, and volvagia being young links pet. All those thing clearly didn't happen in the game.

Hi no Seijin

True, but I liked baby Volvagia.

Actually, I did mention that probably wasn't what you were talking about. But yeah. Things that happened in the manga that never happened in the game (these are just some) :
Ocarina of Time
-Mido helps Link fight Gohma and they're outside the Deku Tree.
-Shiek works for Ganon
-Watara
-Volvegia is Link's childhood pet
Majora's Mask
-Anju finds Link beat up and helps him
-Link never meets the Happy Mask Salesman in the clock tower
Four Swords
-Link has a father
-Vaati, in the beginning, is like a big rock-monster-vacuum cleaner
Minish Cap
-You see the martial arts tournament
-Link was trying out for the the tournament but got mad when he wasn't picked
-Link meets Vaati in the woods
-The Great Fairy of Dragonflies gets turned into a dragonfly
-Vaati turns back into a Minish and apologizes

Well, back to the Twilight Princess manga...

In response to your question, yes.
