Gr 9 Up-imekama transports readers to the magical world of Link and Zelda, in true manga form. It's a classic return to an old favorite, made fresh for a new generation. The story follows Link from his origins and details the destiny he's meant to fulfill. Accompanied by the fairy Navi, he must find three spiritual stones and bring them to Zelda, the princess who rules over Hyrule, but the villainous Ganondrof stands in his way. The art is a fun callback to the video game. Illustrations on each panel are highly detailed and full of action and convey the complexity of Link's mission. Violence and some scantily clad female characters, while typical of most manga, may make this title appropriate for more mature readers. VERDICT Bound to appeal to lifelong Zelda devotees. Fans of Masashi Kishimoto's "Naruto" series and Kyoko Hikawa's "From Far Away" will particularly enjoy this title.Chantalle Uzan, New York Public Library
