About the Game
The Legend of Zelda arrives on the Nintendo DS with The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass . The game starts off where the Wind Waker for the GameCube ended. Link, his friend Tetra and her gang of pirates are sailing unexplored seas when they come across a ghost ship. When Tetra wants to explore the ship she disappears and Link, who goes after her, falls into the sea and becomes stranded on an unknown island.
Gameplay & Core Systems
While remaining true to the traditional Legend of Zelda formula, this game's controls are drastically different from other Zelda titles. This time you only use the touch screen to make Link move and attack instead of buttons. Link can somersault forward by having players draw a small circle on the edge of the screen while running. You can also use the touch screen to make notes of secret treasures and items on the map simply by writing them down. Sailing across the sea is also done by simply drawing the route on the map.
Standout Features
- The boomerang can be thrown in a specific path by drawing its exact route on the touch screen.
- While the route is being traveled, players can pan the screen around to look out for enemies and other obstacles.
- The ship's route can also be changed while traveling if something else catches players' attention.
- Later on, players can even go fishing in the sea, using the stylus to pull the rod and reel in their catch.
