Back Cover: BEYOND THE LEGENDARY GAME – THE LEGEND ITSELF
Long ago in Persia, there were many princes, one following another, sometimes quick, sometimes slow, sometimes fat, clever, joyous, and all more or less honorable. And in some of those princes there shone the spirit of The Prince of Persia, for in Persia time spins like a wheel, and what is to come has already happened, and then happens again, year in and year out.
This is the story of two of those princes, and of the destiny that threads their lives together.
Tom.:
I would pick up the Zelda one if I stumbled across it. I used to pick up the Street Fighter comics in the mid 90′s. If my memory serves correct, they were quite awful.
