Nintendo has teamed up with the creative team from the hugely popular online comic Penny Arcade to create five weekly comic panels in celebration of the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

The first of five panels is available today, with further panels promising to include characters and themes from the newest Zelda game.

“I was 14 when I first played The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past,” said Penny Arcade artist Mike Krahulik. “That was 20 years ago, and today I am introducing my son to The Legend of Zelda. The opportunity to work with Nintendo to create a Zelda comic is not only an incredible honour, but quite literally a childhood dream come true.”

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is released this Friday in the UK. Read our Skyward Sword review, then you’ll probably want to go and buy it.
