The Legend of Zelda (Valiant Comics)

"A long, long time ago, the world was in an age of chaos. There was a land called Hyrule, a legend called Zelda, an adventurer named Link, and evil known as Ganon, and three Triforces, with power over them all."

- Introduction

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. 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.
