A comic book miniseries by Shotaro Ishinomori based on The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past appeared in Nintendo Power magazine beginning in January 1992, and ran for 12 issues. Many portions of the game were omitted, and several new story segments were added.

A new character named Roam was introduced, who was a knight with the ability to take on an avian form. While at first meeting Link as an enemy, the two quickly became allies and joined forces to help take down Ganon. Roam has a large nose, a common trait in Shotaro's designs.
