Thanks to the efforts of fans, a once thought lost piece of unique, official art from The Legend of Zelda has been found after many decades.

Back in the ’80s, there was a Tips & Tactics guide, which gave newcomers to The Legend of Zelda a bunch of helpful information to make their way through the game. While this guide was released in both Japan and the U.S.A., the American version had content removed. This content was a small comic that featured a female version of Link.

History of Hyrule did significant work to find a copy of the book with the artwork and now the rare find has been rediscovered. This is great for fans of the series and for gaming historians, as until now there were only very low-quality pictures of the magazine and art. Who knows what else from the franchise will still be found?
