Legend of Zelda manga licensed?

Old news? New news? Good news for sure. During my splunking for upcoming purchases over at Chapters.ca, I came across an October 2008 listing for Akira Himekawa’s Legend of Zelda manga, published by Viz.

It’s a really cute series, one I’ve always wondered about being published over here, especially with the recent success of Zelda-franchising such as Twlight Princess, Smash Brothers Brawl & the numerous DS games. Looks like the time has come; though I can’t help but be a little surprised it’s Viz? Seems more a Tokyopop kind of deal, though Viz is releasing the manga adaptation of Blue Dragon… (unfortunately). Either way, I’m looking forward to this one for sure.

Other random finds include Bleach SOULs. Official Character Book (Nov 2008), and volumes 25+ of too many series. Already knew about The Art of Bleach, but The Art of Full Moon? News to me, very pretty artwork by Arina Tanemura.
