Misery Mire is also featured in the A Link to the Past comic by Shotaro Ishinomori. After Link exits the Swamp Palace, he hears Princess Zelda contact him telepathically from beyond the wasteland.[5][6] Epheremelda, who cannot hear Zelda's calling, advises Link against going to the wasteland since it is too dangerous, and once they get in there, there will be no way to escape.[7] Link disregards her suggestion,[8] heading into the wasteland where stumbles into an oasis from where Zelda is calling his name. The young hero ventures in and finds her,[9] but as he remembers the Maiden's words of Zelda being inside Turtle Rock,[10] the princess turns out to be an illusion made by a Wizzrobe, who promptly captures Link and conjures Vitreous from the swamp to devour him.[2] However, just as Vitreous is approaching Link, a whirlpool is created that engulfs both Vitreous and the Wizzrobe, and from beneath Zora appears to rescue the young hero at Epheremelda's request.
