Comic and manga adaptations of The Legend of Zelda series of video games, especially in Japan, have been published under license from Nintendo.

In September 1986, Wanpaku Comics published a manga book in Japan titled The Hyrule Fantasy. It was released as a companion to the first The Legend of Zelda video game. The story follows the game's plot but adds additional features including new characters, such as a companion parrot for Link.

Valiant Comics published a comic series simply titled The Legend of Zelda in 1990, which lasted only five issues, with a sixth issue published as part of the Nintendo Comics System imprint. The series was more closely patterned after The Legend of Zelda TV series airing at the time, which in turn was loosely based on the first two NES games. The series depicted Link as he appears in the first game, with red hair and brown eyes. It also introduced new characters, including Captain Krin, Captain of the Guard of North Castle and Link's parents, Arn and Medilia.

The manga team of Akira Himekawa has been producing manga adaptations of The Legend of Zelda video games in Japan beginning with their manga adaptation of Ocarina of Time, which was first published in 1999 by Shogakukan. Currently, Himekawa has produced manga adaptations of more than eight Zelda games (including both Oracle games), with the latest being Twilight Princess manga. Viz Media is currently publishing English translations of Himekawa's Zelda manga in North America, beginning with their adaptation of Ocarina of Time, which was published in October 2008. Since July 2009, a French translation is being published by Soleil Manga. The first manga available was A Link to the Past followed by Ocarina of Time 1 & 2. Himekawa's other Zelda manga was later translated into French in 2010. Himekawa's manga, which was released in Japan in and between 1998 and 2009, was also localised in the Federal Republic of Germany by Tokyopop in and between 2009 and 2011. The first ten tankōbon volumes sold more than 3 million copies worldwide. After a seven year hiatus, Akira Himekawa began the work on a new Zelda manga. Later revealed to be an adaptation of Twilight Princess, the manga series ran from February 2016 to January 2022.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is a manga loosely based on the game of the same name drawn by Akira Himekawa. The 32 pages of the manga were included in the artbook Hyrule Historia. The manga serves as a prequel to the story of Skyward Sword.

A manga series based on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, penned and illustrated by Akira Himekawa, was first released on February 8, 2016. The adaptation began almost ten years after the release of the game on which it is based, but only a month before the release of the high definition remake for the Wii U, Twilight Princess HD.

Five novels (published by Futabasha) and several Yonkoma manga (published by Shiseisha) based on aspects of The Legend of Zelda series have also been published.

This manga is an adaptation of The Wind Waker, but parodies scenarios in the game. Although it adapts most of The Wind Waker, it skips most dungeons and scenes to the very peak of the stories. It was released almost directly after The Wind Waker was released.

A short comic published weekly in five parts on Nintendo's official The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword website, written and illustrated by Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik under their Penny Arcade Presents series. The story is narrated by Gaepora, Zelda's father.

Saitaro Komatsu wrote a Japanese manga for CoroCoro Comic. Nintendo published a translated version as a web comic on its Play Nintendo website titled Link's Hijinks to promote Majora's Mask 3D.
