Link x Malon Comics
Two different comics answer “Link and Malon” and they should not be blended. Akira Himekawa’s official manga has Malon step back. jojo56830’s Linked Universe is a reader comic with its own Malon chapters. Pictures that are single illustrations are on the fanart page.

What the manga actually does
Shogakukan published the two volumes in Japan in 2000. VIZ’s English edition followed in 2008, and a Legendary Edition collection came out in 2016. In volume 2, chapter 5, Link rescues Malon from Ingo. She asks why he says “Zelda” and not “Princess,” decides she can see the answer in his eyes, and says her romance is over. At the end she calls him “Hero” and tells him to come back because they will keep a cow for him. Zelda Wiki quotes those lines. I have not paged the whole book, so I am not describing panels I have not read. The game-side reading of the same question is on Does Link marry Malon?
The dub’s public page lists an upload of 28 November 2025. When I checked on 14 Nov 2026 it showed 793 views. The Tumblr index that lists Malon 1–5 is the chapter map; this page does not copy the comic.

No. Zelda Wiki calls the Himekawa books a loose adaptation. Malon stepping back is a comic scene, not a patch to the game.

Where can I read it legally?
VIZ sells the English edition, including the 2016 Legendary Edition. This site does not host scans.
