The Adventure of Link (Ran)
In Maru Ran's Manga adaptation of the game, the Prince initially appears in the same backstory as in the manual, making a deal with the Magician and making the royal decree to name all princesses born into the Royal Family "Zelda". Unlike in the manual, the Magician escapes from the Prince after being wounded by his sword. After the death of the werewolf swordsman, Ganpu, Link has a nightmare of Hyrule under the oppression of the Magician. Just as the Magician is about to bring harm to Zelda, Link strikes his mask and unveils the Prince. Immediately afterwards, Link wakes up.
The Prince appears one last time in the final volume, revealed to be the true identity of the Magician. The Prince reveals that he has been attempting to get the Triforce for countless centuries, rapidly decaying before Ganon bursts through his body and snatches the Triforce. With his dying breath, the Prince reveals that Ganon is his alter-ego, and that his revival was necessary for him to continue living. He soon realizes that his own ambitions were his undoing and passes away, after apologizing to his sister.
