The Legend of Zelda Gaiden: Kwōku and the Fairy Queen is a one-shot manga story based on The Legend of Zelda series. It was drawn and written by Toshihiro Ono and was published in the February 1992 issue of the Japanese magazine Bessatsu CoroCoro Comic Special.[1] As a bi-monthly publication, Bessatsu CoroCoro Comic Special's cover date is always ahead of the actual release date. As such, this issue would have been released late December 1991. It has never been reprinted.
