History YMMV / TheLegendOfZeldaManga

* BaseBreaker: As if Sheik didn't break the base enough in the canon game, the manga interpretation of Sheik breaks it more. Because Sheik is [[spoiler:"his" own consciousness in Zelda's body, rather than Zelda doing the job by herself]], Sheik is liked and disliked for that same reason (see UnfortunateImplications below).

* UnfortunateImplications: The manga attempts to explain that Zelda requested Impa to [[{{Brainwashed}} "seal her consciousness"]] to believe she is a boy ([[spoiler:so she can become Sheik]]), which unfortunately suggests that Zelda cannot do anything outside her DistressedDamsel role, and instead has to rely on [[{{Brainwashed}} "someone else"]] to do the job for her. In other words, she skipped those seven years instead of taking TheSlowPath like she did in the game.

* {{Woolseyism}}: In the original Japanese version of the story, Link refers to Ezlo as a turtle, referrencing the Japanese folk tale of Urashima-taro. In the English version, Link calls him [[TheFairFolk a leprechaun]].

* BaseBreaker: As if Sheik didn't break the base enough in the canon game, the manga interpretation of Sheik breaks it more. For [[spoiler:not being consciously Zelda at all, but rather "his" own consciousness in Zelda's body]], Sheik is liked and disliked for that same reason.

* FanDumb: Try find any person who insists that the Ocarina manga is more canon than the game is based on (all because of a forum member's [[GodNeverSaidThat "interpretation"]] of an interview to the manga staff). Bonus points if these people are also Male Sheik supporters, who desperately try to use the manga as "proof" (never mind that there was no mention of GenderBender during Impa's brainwashing of the princess).

* BeamMeUpScotty: There has been common misconception that [[spoiler:Impa has turned Zelda into a boy in both mind and body]]. To make things clear, [[spoiler:there was '''no mention''' of Zelda's body being transformed; only Zelda's mind was sealed into believing she was a boy]], but [[MST3KMantra let's not think too hard about that one]].

In other words, she skipped those seven years instead of taking TheSlowPath like she did in the game.

* AssPull: [[spoiler: Link having Volvagia as a pet when he was child, even though during the segments with Link as child we saw Volvagia at any point.]]

* JerkassWobbie: Shadow Link.

** Mishouzaki's manga makes Zelda into BadassAdorable {{tomboy}} who disguises herself in a masculine manner at one point, and ends up getting kidnapped by Ganon. This sounds a lot like Princess Zelda in ''OcarinaOfTime''.

* HilariousInHindsight: It's funny that Ishinomori's and Himekawa's ''Link to the Past'' both depict Link's Dark World persona as a wolf, considering what happens in ''TwilightPrincess''.

* {{Beam Me Up Scotty}}: There has been common misconception that [[spoiler:Impa has turned Zelda into a boy in both mind and body]]. To make things clear, [[spoiler:there was '''no mention''' of Zelda's body being transformed; only Zelda's mind was sealed into believing she was a boy]], but [[MST3KMantra let's not think too hard about that one]].

A list of {{YMMV}}s for various ''[[Manga/TheLegendOfZelda Zelda]]'' manga.

* HilariousInHindsight: A bonus story involves a race of bird people, quite similar to the Rito in ''WindWaker''. Better yet, it's in the "Adult" time.

* UnfortunateImplications: The manga attempts to explain that she requested Impa to [[{{Brainwashed}} "seal her consciousness"]] to believe she is a boy ([[spoiler:so she can become Sheik]]), which unfortunately suggests that Zelda cannot do anything outside her DistressedDamsel role, and instead has to rely on [[Brainwashed "someone else"]] to do the job for her. In other words, she skipped those seven years instead of taking TheSlowPath like she did in the game.

So basically, she skipped those seven years instead to taking TheSlowPath like she did in the game.

* {{Moe}}: Red Link has [[{{Understatement}} shades]] of this.
