Akira Himekawa, the artistic duo behind The Legend of Zelda manga, have shared a colorized version of a particularly emotional scene in Volume 7 of the Twilight Princess series. The calm, blue sky-like colors used on Link’s expression in these panels are particularly striking.

According to the duo, this scene was not initially planned when they began work on Volume 7; it was added at a later stage, to add to Link’s emotional progression.
Volume 8 of the Twilight Princess manga will be released in North America and the U.K. on March 9th, 2021.
