Update from November 12, 2008 to April 12, 2009: It's been over two years since I changed anything on this page, almost four years since I put the site on Hiatus, and six and a half years since it was opened. I wanted to announce I'm trying to organize translations for all the doujinshi that was found on this site; whether it's mine, or was contributed, I'd like to be able to share it again. Read below and please let me know if you think you can help!

Contact me at melorasworld@gmail.com

April 12: Just found out that Glitter Berri has done some translation work on the Phantom Hourglass manga. You can find it on her blog: http://berriblue.blogspot.com/

Updates to this page have been slowing down, as has my contact with others, because I'm busy building the site. (and doing work stuff)

March 13: Just found out, thanks to Rinael, that the Phantom Hourglass manga has been published in its volume format.

Himekawa's site. Anyway, the info and ISBN and all that is here, for those of you who are interested:
# コミック: 192ページ
# 出版社: 小学館 (2009/2/27)
# ISBN-10: 4091496091
# ISBN-13: 978-4091496096
# 発売日： 2009/2/27

Zelda Translation Project Introduction:
Hi! Melora here. This site once had a lot of manga and doujinshi on it. I'm thinking about sharing the collection with everyone again and I really need help with Japanese to English translations.

So, this page should show what I have and what I'm looking for. Let me know what you think you can do or if you need more information on something (or larger scans.) Once someone has agreed to work on a "volume," I will post that next to it, so no one gets confused and does any unnecessary work :D Please speak with me before you start on anything so that doesn't happen by accident. D: I'm also not asking translators to do the editing work, I am happy to do that myself, or to find other people who would like to help. The bottom of this page has more info on other things.

Current Status and Translators:
If you translate something I want to pay you for the work... which means; I don't have a lot of extra cash but I can do commissions. It doesn't have to be for you either, it could be for a friend, or whatever. I figure how much time I would spend on a piece would be, roughly, determined by the amount of time and skill involved for translating or, if it's a donation on your part (-to all the zelda fans out there and to the greater awesomeness of the internet,) I'll be happy to pay with adoration and cookies and try to help you with anything you might need in the future :) To see the kind of art I'm comfy doing, please check out my DeviantART gallery. I can also build simple websites in exchange.

In the works as of March 10, '09:

Additions:
Nov 24, 2008: I've added the Doujinshi Star Show to the list. See below.

Nov 27, 2008: added three 4 koma's that will be available for translators.

Jan 21, 2009: Added 9 new doujinshi that should be here shortly, they're at the bottom of the doujinshi list. If you'd like to translate any of them, let me know and I'll hold them for you. It also looks like Secret Shiek, Star Show, and Love Navigation will be done with the editing phase shortly.

Feb 04, 2009: My two, very old, volumes of manga for the original Legend of Zelda just arrived. I've added them to the manga section below.

Zelda Doujinshi:
FYI: A means I (and others) would really love to see it done- but by no means does a star mean that those need to be done first. Most of these are scanned, some are not. In the notes I'll add which ones I know I have large scans for- which would be easier to read from. If I don't have large scans for something ready, and you want to work on it, no biggie! I'd be happy to get them to you, if possible, it just wont be as instantaneous. If it is something I am not able to get large scans for, the images will only be around the size you see in the examples below. If I have the title of something wrong, please let me know. Oh, and I do not really need things like the artists talk, and advertisement pages, translated. I'm also not asking translators to do the editing work, I am happy to do that myself.

Manga:
FYI: I would REALLY love to have any of these done consider them starred! But- I know they would take quite a commitment... Except for the last one, the Multi-Guide. There's only 18 comic pages to it and they're not very text heavy. Most of the pages are only about 450x670 -but I can get you larger scans if you need them.

	Legend of Zelda manga Sample pages: 1 2 3 4 approx 188 pages notes: I just got this. It's really cute and I'd love to see it done. I've not scanned it yet but could if someone was interested in translating it. Please only ask about it if you're quick and can make the translations read smoothly.
	Adventure of Link Manga Volume 1 Link's to all the scanned pages approx 188 pages Translation Pending! notes: Is this Zelda manga, on the second page? I want it if it is.
	Adventure of Link Manga Volume 2 example pages: See above approx 190 pages Translation Pending! notes: I have not scanned this yet. I will do it if the first volume starts getting worked on.
	Link to the Past Manga Volume 2 Link's to the scanned pages. They can also be found here in a more reading friendly form. approx 190 pages notes: I'm not sure if I lost the large scans I had made of this (my laptop crashed a long time ago.) If anyone wants to work on it, and needs larger scans to read the text, just let me know.
	Link to the Past manga Volume 3 Link's to all the scanned pages. They can also be found here in a more reading friendly form. approx 190 pages notes: I'm not sure if I lost the large scans I had made of this (my laptop crashed a long time ago.) If anyone wants to work on it, and needs larger scans to read the text, just let me know.
	Multi-Game Guide: Very short, but very cute, manga pages in a game help guide. Translation DONE! Link's to all the "comic" pages. notes: If you can't make out the words on any of the pages, please let me know. I have large files on hand and will send them to you if you'd like to translate this.
	Legend of Zelda guide in the form of manga Sample pages: 1 2 3 4 approx 190 pages notes: I just got this. I've never seen anything like it either: I assumed it was 4 koma, from the cover, but it's really a guide done in a manga format- it's actually pretty freakn' cool. The only "meh" thing I find is how squatty/dorky Link looks but, I think it would be awesome to have translated. This might be a job for someone who really liked the first game.

4 Koma:
FYI: The text below the image refers to the name I have the files under. If you refer to one of these to me, please use the name I'm using- Example: "Enix OoT Tan" The title's I've given them also include which game the book covers. If you know Zelda, you should know what they mean LttP = Link to the Past. The scans I have ready are 450x670, but I can get larger ones to you. Right now I only have the first color pages of these volumes scanned. I do plan on scanning the whole of each volume though.

Other: Interviews, Bio's, FAQ's:
FYI: I am looking for someone who would translate any interviews, bio info, and FAQ's of Zelda game creators and manga creators such as Akira Himekawa. (If anyone knows of existing translations of this kind of stuff, please let me know! I've been out of the loop for a few years) This is what I know of, but I'd be very interested in other stuff I may not know about!

Translation Pending! I am looking for translations of the "Zelda Box" book- Just the first part with the interviews and concept stuff & character info sections. Not the game-play help, I don't have any want for more of that. (Ditto to the above. If it exists already, please let me know) But I think this would be pretty awesome to have done.

You can find Zip's of my Zelda Box scans here. They are really large, so, if you have a problem with those, let me know and I can link you to the pages. I think you should only have to download the zip with the first part.

Translation done! Akira Himekawa Interview. Here's the links to an interview done with the newer Link to the Past manga.

Link's to more Akira Himekawa interviews and also: Their Bio.

Already translated or being translated:
FYI: These do not need to be done and I do not need copies of them

I have these, but am not seeking translations right now:
FYI: Some of it's crappy (IMPO the manga listed here,) some of it's too long (like the Novels,) and some of it is just too pointlessly pornographic for me to care about- Like the NISE volumes.

Type: Manga	Type: Manga	Type: Manga

Type: Doujinshi Artist requested I not post it.	There are 2 volumes of Nise, I want neither. but I found a translation out there years ago.	Type: Doujinshi (god damn kiddie porn- trashed it)

I'm also looking for:
Most any other Zelda manga, 4 koma, doujinshi, and the like that I do not have listed Contact me if you are interested in selling or making scans of what you have. Donations are VERY welcome. I could possibly do commissions for it and, if you need money, I'll be happy to look at what you have to see if I would pay for it. I don't need the actual volume: I'm very happy to pay a small price, a per page rate, for decent scans. A.K.A. 300 dpi, not to "jpeg-gy," and no really bad gray area from the seam. In the past I'd usually start at $10 and then add $0.25 per page after the first 30. (I am a little broke right now though)

I'm looking for #4 in the first series of Doujinshi I posted, it's got an English title: A Brave Man Bloody and looks like this. (Scans would be just as awesome, I don't need the volume if you don't want to part with it.) I'd REALLY like to find it. I know someone in the US has it but if it shows up on ebay or yahoo japan, I'd also like to know so I could bid on it.

Contact me at melorasworld@gmail.com

Translators:
Please make sure I have your email so I can send you scans and you can get me translations. If you hit a snag, just contact me. I love being updated and I also might be able to get you larger scans of hard to read Kanji- or to find someone to help if there's something you just can't figure out.

Please Do Not Distribute!
With any pages here, or if I give you the pages, PLEASE do not distribute them publicly on other websites! I, or friends, paid good money for this stuff and took the time to scan it. It wont be immediate, but I am looking to get these translated so I CAN share them on one of my websites. Talk to me first if you would like use them for other things. I can add some FAQ's about all that if needed or requested.

The Plans:
I would like to work on getting as many translations done as possible but I probably wont be posting them until at least a few are completely finished. As I, and the translators, are working on these, I'll also be working on a site for them. It might take a little while. Please don't get discouraged, it will get done. When someone else is doing something, and I feel obligated to them and the project, I'm not the bum I've sometimes been.

A Note:
Please let me know if there is anything confusing or messed up with this page! (Or if you just want to comment or have an idea for the project.) I want it to be comprehensive and easy to understand, but I'm not always good at making things that way. If I need to change something, I will be happy to, but I'll need your input to know.

Thanks everyone, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help!
