Unlike most games and manga, where Link is a silent protagonist with only player-chosen conversations, in this manga Link is shown speaking like a normal character instead of just in "..." (which usually replace player choices in manga), even if he did not do that in the source material.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess manga is a manga by Akira Himekawa loosely based on the story of Twilight Princess. The series was first released on February 8, 2016 in Shogakukan's Manga One app in Japan.[45] Each chapter was originally being serialized each Monday every two weeks, then was later changed to the last Monday of every month, with some exceptions. English, German, Spanish, Italian, and French versions are also being published.[46]

Himekawa started working on the manga in 2006, but it was never published due to the game's B rating in Japan.[47] Unlike most games and manga, where Link is a silent protagonist with only player-chosen conversations, in this manga Link is shown speaking like a normal character instead of just in "..." (which usually replace player choices in manga), even if he did not do that in the source material.
