I’m excited to share the news that preorders are now open for The Whispers of Hyrule, a Legend of Zelda fanzine celebrating Hyrule’s beautiful green spaces and the creatures that make their homes in the trees.

I contributed a short story about Majora’s Mask titled “The Brave Tale of the Heroic Swamp Princess.” My story follows Link and the Deku Princess as they venture through the swamp on their way home from the Woodfall Temple. I did my best to capture the exuberant spirit of the Deku Princess, who helps Link work through the trauma he experienced in Ocarina of Time, as well as the warm atmosphere created by the vibrant plant growth in the swamp.

It’s been a privilege to see the drafts shared by the writers, artists, and musicians who have joined me on this journey. From sunlit meadows to deep forest shadows, everyone has worked hard to convey the wonder and mystery of getting lost in the woods. I know I say this about every fanzine, but this book is going to be gorgeous.

Preorders for the zine are open until April 23, and three stretch goals have already been exceeded. If you’re interested, you can check out the project at the following links:
