The Legend of Zelda (Valiant Comics)

Valiant Comics is the parent company that owned the Nintendo Comics System in 1990 and 1991. In those years, they published a number of Nintendo franchise comics, including The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., and Captain N: The Game Master. The canon or non-canon status of these comics is up for debate. They were officially licensed by Nintendo, but Nintendo has not made any public statements to clarify the issue.

Valiant Comics was founded in 1990 by former Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Jim Shooter, and no longer publishes Nintendo comics. Their most popular title is probably Turok, the Dinosaur Hunter, which followed the opposite trend of their Nintendo comics by being a comic that was turned into a video game rather than the other way around.
