The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (DS)

All Aboard for an Amazing New Adventure!

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks sets hero Link™ on a daring new adventure. The game provides players with a new story, more puzzles and even a new mode of transportation. In this game, Link voyages by train, which offers up new possibilities for problem-solving. The game has the same look and feel established in the hit Nintendo DS game The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.

Link has a valuable new companion. While navigating dungeons, he's accompanied by a Phantom, a hulking suit of armor that responds to his commands. Players can tap the Phantom to take command of him, then draw a line on the touch screen to direct him where to go. The stout Phantom can walk through fire or lava, be used as a platform to carry Link above dangers, or even run interference to block Link from harm.
When Link conducts the train, players enjoy a satisfying combination of action and real-time puzzle solving as they determine which track to take and how to best manipulate their speed. When on the train, Link must plot the best route to the end of the line around ever-moving obstacles. While en route, Link might need to fire an onboard cannon at enemies who attack the train or sound the whistle to scare animals off the tracks.
Link uses a variety of new items and weapons, including the Whirlwind, which players activate by blowing into the microphone of the Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi™ system.
As with The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, players can draw notes on the in-game maps using the stylus on the touch screen.

My biggest question is how they plan to incorporate Wi-fi this time. I'm a huge fan of the online play they added in PH. I still play it. It's just that much fun.

its basically phantom hourglass, but a train is used for transport, not boat, its a great improvement though, oh and KnucklesSonic8, they said that theyre not gonna focus on wi-fi that much...

I loved Phantom Hour glass but I thought that the dungeons were too easy.The first dungeon I finished in 5 min. I hope this game is more challenging.

lol choo choo train

But seriously, this looks quite good. I never played phantom hourglass.... I'm not sure why! I think my sister has it, maybe I will have to borrow it some time. But anyway, the dual-screen boss battle in the video looks epic.
