The Legend of Zelda - Legendary Edition Box Set

Like many of you, mine arrived with a non-functional treasure chest sound box. But all is not lost. Despite several claims that the batteries can not be removed to be replaced, that they're soldered into place. Wasn't true in my case and hopefully isn't true for you either. (pictures included) There are tabs to the sides of the battery housings. Carefully lift them. I held down the top of the battery housings so I wouldn't accidentally rip them off the board, and used a small flat head screwdriver to lift the tabs. Needle-nose pliers would probably work better, but I had the screwdriver handy. Once you have lifted the tabs, push the battery from the opposite end of the opening and they should slide right out. The battery that's located right next to the speaker, will need to be slid out at an angle, but there should be enough clearance. Next! You'll need new batteries! Three LR1130 batteries, to be precise. I ordered mine right here from Amazon, they're pretty cheap. Once you have those, just slide them into place, close the tabs, and make sure you're in a well lit room. The audio device is light activated. (video included of my personal results) I hope this helps. XD

The Legend of Zelda Manga Set is an absolute treasure for any fan of the iconic video game series. This collection, which includes the various adaptations of Zelda games into manga form, brings a whole new layer of depth and charm to the beloved characters and stories. Akira Himekawa, the talented duo behind the manga, does an incredible job of capturing the magic and adventure of Zelda while offering a unique perspective on the familiar tales. The art style is stunning. Each panel is filled with intricate details, expressive characters, and beautifully illustrated action scenes that stay true to the visual style of the games. Whether it’s the quiet, contemplative moments with Link and Zelda or the fast-paced, action-packed sequences, the manga excels in bringing the world of Zelda to life in a fresh and dynamic way. The stories themselves are engaging and true to the spirit of the games, whether it’s retelling the classic plot of Ocarina of Time, the dark adventure in Majora’s Mask, or the epic journey in Twilight Princess. The manga adds layers to the narrative, offering more character development and emotional depth, especially for secondary characters like Navi and Impa, giving fans a new way to appreciate their favorite Zelda moments. What I really appreciate about this set is how it appeals to both die-hard fans and newcomers to the franchise. It’s a fantastic way to experience the magic of Zelda in a new medium, and it’s perfect for collectors or anyone who wants to revisit these iconic stories in a fresh and exciting format. Overall, the Legend of Zelda Manga Set is a must-have for Zelda fans. Whether you’re already a fan of the games or new to the franchise, the manga offers an enchanting and enriching experience that is both nostalgic and new. Highly recommended!

My kids was thrilled with this, even though he already has two of the books in soft-cover. The chest looks great. Feels substantial. But the sound effect card does not work. Must likely batteries are just dead. There's no easy way to repair it that I can see as the batteries are sealed in with three walls. Reading more reviews this seems to be a common problem so not worth seeking replacement. If anyone figures out a way to fix it/change the batteries, I'd really appreciate a heads up.

Love this merchandise, but at first the sound effect did not work and I thought I needed to change my batteries as the other reviews suggested. Turns out the white plastic slip around the metal clip needed to be repositioned because that’s what triggers the sound bit. It stops the metal clip from touching the circuit board while closed, but when opened, the plastic slip shifts and allows the metal clip to touch the circuit board and triggers the sound effect. Look at the pictures of how I positioned mine. If this does not help yours, then try changing your batteries. Best of luck!

The quality is good🤩

Now I'm not going to rant about the book being binded backwards (Like the parents who can't read the warning on the front of the books literally giving you directions on how to read it and explaining why this is.) Nor will I complain about the music player not working because I didn't much care for that feature either way. No, my issue is that the Ocarina of Time Legendary Edition is missing a chunk of the story. Let me preface this by saying that I did not buy this used. I bought it new. The chest came wrapped up in plastic and the music player still had the pull tap stuck inside (Didn't work). I looked at the spine, and the missing pages aren't ripped out. I've added a picture to show. It's not like this is a few pages that would go unnoticed either, I'm talking 40 whole pieces of paper are missing from the binding. That's 80 pages (Counting front and back of the pages) missing. Starting after page 314, ending before 347. In total, this book doesn't have the last bit of chapter 8, it's missing all of chapter 9 (the entire ending), the two bonus stories "Skull Kid and the Mask" part 1 & 2, and cuts into the other bonus story "Rouru of the Watarara" about two pages in. None of the other books are missing content, I've gone in and inspected them carefully, so those are fine. Rather, they have a lot of extra content in the back of those books for people who are interested in the authors, Akira Himekawa, and their process of making these mangas (Very nice.) These books are also in great quality compared to the originals. The pages are bigger than the old ones and there's a few colors pages at the front of each book. I also like that the "Minish Cap" is the one they chose to color at the front, rather than it's paired story "Phantom Hourglass". I'm sure a lot of long time fans of the series would agree that Minish is better in comparison, but that's just a silly opinion. In the pictures above I've also included what the next page is supposed to look like, (I have the older version from when I was a kid.) I'm not entirely sure if this is a common thing that all of the boxes have since nobody else seems to have left a review on it. It is a tricky thing to miss if you haven't read the series before or just wanted the books for the decor. I implore other buyers of the books to check on this. Again, cuts after page 314, resumes before page 347 (Though the next numbered page reads 352, just count backwards). If I had to hypothesize why this is, (If anything, why the music box isn't working, but if my missing page problem is common then--) It'd have to be that the prototype of this set had all of the bindings of each book the same size to fit into the box (though there is plenty of room left over for them to include the whole story). And VIZMedia rushed this box set for Christmas. It's listed as being out from October 20, 2020. Right on time for the early holiday shoppers to put it on their wishlist. Other than that, it's a pretty neat thing. I'm not overly picky, and if you catch this set on sale it's a really great deal. The poster is drawn by the artists of the manga and looks cool. I'm looking into getting in contact with VIZMedia and seeing about what they can do to help me get another version of the book with the whole story. It's a great collection and I'd rather not return it because of one little thing going wrong. Hope this helps!

My brother and I are huge Zelda fans, and I wanted to get him something really special for Christmas. I’ve had my eye on this product for a while but had heard a lot of bad reviews. Being that it was such a good looking set, I thought I would take a chance and just give it a purchase. I figured at the worst I could just return it if it wasn’t up to par. I have seen a lot of videos where the sound didn’t work or where the box was damaged etc., but still I took a chance. Let me tell you I was thrilled! Everything was perfect! My brother loved it and I loved watching him open it today. So glad this worked out the way that it did. The sound worked perfectly and was loud enough to hear in a medium sized crowded living room. Product was nicely packaged and looks protected during shipping. There are books for most of the Zelda games, but I do remember reading somewhere that this is not a complete set. I would love to know which books are missing so I could complete his set so I’ll have to do some research. This is a great gift for a collector!

I bought this thinking this was a compendium or a review of the series, but it's a nicely packaged version of what I already had which is: The Legend of Zelda Complete Box Set (The Legend of Zelda Box Set). I returned it, but a very nice collection to have Very nice collection in a nice collectible box!

Lo libros tienen una calidad muy buena

Bütün Zelda manga serisinin sert kapak versiyonu. Her kitabın ilk birkaç sayfası da renkli basılmış. 10/10

The one I received does not have the sound like the previous versions but the books are very nice hardbacks, the chest is also nice it came in great condition, although it seems expensive i feel it was worth the money and i am happy with my purchase.

No damage, but the sound system is missing. Not broken or empty on batterys, but completely missing.

it is great and very very cool. But the sound it makes when you open it only works 2-3 times then you never hear it again. Definetly a manufacture failure.
