"Legend of Zelda" graphic novels

Zeldagn We may not be seeing that "Zelda" movie anytime soon, but apparently we are getting a bunch of "Legend of Zelda" manga graphic novels. Given the big crossover between Nintendo fans and manga fans, I wouldn't be surprised if these are really big. But how do they fit into the "Zelda" mythos? Is a non-interactive story about a kid trying to rescue a princess and save the world interesting? Particularly given how much of the game is spent solving environmental puzzles, which probably doesn't work as well in comic form.

Looks like we'll find out starting in October.
