Legend Of Zelda Manga Returning From Seven-Year Hiatus

The manga team Akira Himekawa recently announced the return of their Legend of Zelda manga series on their website. Anime News Network translated their post from Japanese: "2015, after 7 years...The Legend of Zelda manga series returns! Please support it!" The official Legend of Zelda Twitter account tweeted this photo as well:

There is no information as to what game the team is currently adapting, but they teased a later reveal by saying "which version of me can you meet this time? Look forward to finding out!!"

The two artists adapted The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in 1998 and went on to serialize Majora's Mask, The Minish Cap, and seven other volumes based on the games. More recently, Akira Himekawa produced the Skyward Sword prequel manga in 2011. This can be found in the Hyrule Historia.
