The Legend of Zelda, Vol. 1 #5 (Valiant)

The Legend of Zelda, Vol. 1 #5 (Valiant) — by George Caragonne. From Era 2 — Western Originals in the Zelda Manga Gallery.

The closing issue of Valiant’s first volume. Zelda stories also ran inside Nintendo Comics System #7 — the source of the long-running fan hunt for a "missing #6."

There is no Zelda #6: the "missing" issue is a Nintendo Comics System numbering artifact.
