The comics take place after the events of the original {{TLoZ}} and {{TAoL}}. Link lives in [[North Palace]] along with [[Princess Zelda]] and [[King Harkinian]], where he protects the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] from Ganon. The comics are reminiscent of {{TLoZ|TV Series}} in that it mirrors many of the plot elements; however, it takes on a more serious tone than the cartoons, as seen in the plots of ''[[The Power]]'' and ''[[The Price]]'', where Link is corrupted by the Triforce of Power. Furthermore, not all of the issues focus on Ganon stealing the Triforce of Wisdom, as it varies from Link helping [[Queen Seline]] recover her powers from Ganon's minions and to [[Bagu]] confronting the young hero to save his two pet frogs. | The comics take place after the events of the original {{TLoZ}} and {{TAoL}}.

A new kingdom is also introduced in the comic, known as [[Calatia]], which is ruled by [[Queen Seline]]. The land of Calatia is Link's homeland, and it is where his parents, [[Arn]] and [[Medilia]], live. | A new kingdom is also introduced in the comic, known as [[Calatia]], which is ruled by [[Queen Seline]].
