Other Appearances

The Legend of Zelda (Valiant Comics)

In the The Legend of Zelda comics by Valiant Comics, the Old King's Tomb is one of the many places that Link and Princess Zelda must cross to reach the Island of Hyron. After Zelda reveals to Link that she wishes to reach the Island of Hyron to obtain the Magic Flute that will warp her and the Triforce of Wisdom far away from Ganon's grasp, the young hero comments that they will have to cross through the King's Tomb on their way to the island.[4]

Trivia

  • In the Japanese version of the game, the King's Tomb area features different colors and a darker sky. Instead of the old woman, there are a few Bots and a Goriya. This area was moved a few spaces southwest from the King's Tomb in the international versions.

Notes

  1. King's Tomb was referred to as The King's Grave in The Official Nintendo Player's Guide by Nintendo of America.[2] However, as this contradicts the name given in Encyclopedia, it is not considered Canon.
