Nintendo of America announced this morning that it has teamed with the creators of the popular Penny Arcade online comic strip to create a special comic in celebration of the Nov. 20 launch of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for the Wii. Starting today, the first of five weekly comic panels will appear on www.zelda.com/skywardsword/comic . The comics include characters and themes from the new game, and are drawn in a style that combines the game’s new look with Penny Arcade’s signature style.

“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 honor, but quite literally a childhood dream come true.”
