Nintendo Power Scans
Nintendo Power is a Nintendo magazine that features articles and insider news behind current and upcoming Nintendo titles, as well as fun games, and comics! The magazine was introduced back in 1987 and began with a series called 'Fun Club News'. The first Nintendo Power magazine we know was released in 1988 as a July / August issue, and yes, we have the Legend of Zelda features from it!
Infact, I have every single Magazine from 1987 up until 2001. Here, we will offer all scans since the beginning of Nintendo Power's birth that featured the Legend of Zelda! You can reach the entire Nintendo Power gallery here, at our Zelda Image gallery , or read below for individual galleries. All links open in new window.
