Legend of Zelda continues to test the patience of fans as the next installment in the franchise has been pushed out of 2015. Nonetheless, Nintendo gives players something to hold on to for users of the Wii U as Ocarina of Time will help relive past aspects of the title. At the same, there will be a new manga series for the franchise to be made by the well-known Akira Himekawa.

While the E3 2015 is known as the biggest gaming event of the year, it did not show any sign of the Legend of Zelda, making fans more anxious about the game's progress. Nonetheless, some good news has come along in a recent report. It says that Ocarina of Time, which became a classic in the N64 has been adapted for the Nintendo Wii U console. This would hold true for those in North America.

Ocarina of Time is a highly regarded chapter of the Zelda series, making this worth the delay of the next installment. One thing that should be noted about this version is that it would really resemble the original N64 setup as opposed to the remastered 3D that was launched with the Nintendo 3DS.

Another bit of news for the Legend of Zelda franchise would be the upcoming new manga series to be written by Akira Himekawa. This is according to Siliconera, which mentions that the said author already did the Ocarina of Time up to the Skyward Sword chapter in the past. Certainly, this post on the franchise's Japanese official Twitter account is a major surprise for fans.

While the next Legend of Zelda is in for a delay, Ocarina of Time for the Wii U Nintendo console is available for $9.99. For more updates on the franchise as well as when the manga will be available, be sure to check this site once in a while.
