When the Nintendo 64 came out, <em>Ocarina of Time<\/em> was one of my favorite games. This book, originally a Japanese manga, tells the story of <em>Ocarina of Time<\/em> with a lot of action, humor, and heart. It is not the exact same as the game, but it is pretty close.<\/p>\n<p>The story moves by very quickly, and each chapter is very short. It is very easy to read: the story is simple and the language is not very difficult. However, because this was originally a Japanese manga, the speech bubbles (\u5439\u304d\u51fa\u3057) go from right to left. You will get used to it after reading a few pages. Although there is no deep story or complicated characters, this book is probably fun for anyone who likes light fantasy novels or the Zelda video game series.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My two cents: <\/strong>This book is very \u201clight.\u201d The characters are mostly goofy and fun, so even though there are \u201cserious\u201d parts to the story, it never feels heavy or dark.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1576\" src=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/legendofzeldaocarina-213x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"213\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/legendofzeldaocarina-213x300.png 213w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/legendofzeldaocarina.png 384w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Welcome to the EL Book Introductions series.
