The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past companions, low-res pixel style!
Link to the Past is cool. But one thing I like about it is that it has at least four licensed adaptations to comics, each of which has its own additions and changes. The latest one, Akira Himekawa’s for the GBA port, even uses the design of Ganon’s Tower from Shotaro Ishinomori’s Nintendo Power comic (among several other visual references). I think that’s a nice touch. Anyway between the different adaptations, these are the characters that accompany Link on his quest, more or less.
Epheremelda (fairy companion from Shotaro Ishinomori’s comic for Nintendo Power)
Link (the pink-haired version from the game sprite)
Mitchell (fairy companion from Junko Taguchi’s manga published through Takarajima Comics. That’s how her name is spelled… I think they were going for Michelle maybe? Also I had to make up the colours.)
Roam (a rival character from Ishinomori’s comic who can transform into a bird-man in the Dark World)
Rahska/Rasuka (Link’s best friend and rival, and kung fu badass from Ataru Cagiva’s manga published through Enix)
Captain Arjuna/Leader (captain of the royal knights who accompanies Rahska and Link in Cagiva’s manga)
Ghanti (bandit with a mysterious past from Akira Himekawa’s manga published through Shogakukan)
