    About this product

    Product Information

    "The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass" takes gamers on a brand-new experience. After Ganon's defeat, tragedy strikes Link and his friends as the ghost ship kidnaps Tetra. Sword in hand, Link vows to rescue his friend. Similar to "The Wind Waker," Link will travel across The Great Sea and navigate perilous dungeons to save his friend Tetra.The first thing you'll notice about "The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass" is its graphical art style. The cell-shaded graphics from Wind Waker return, giving Link, his companions, and other characters a cartoonish look. This look extends to both the objects and environments in the world as well. "Phantom Hourglass" truly feels like a cartoon come to life and is an impressive feat for a handheld console.At its core, "Phantom Hourglass" features similar gameplay elements as its Zelda predecessors while adding numerous twists and features. The game makes full use of the unique control scheme of the Nintendo DS system. The top half of the screen displays your map while the bottom half displays the game itself. Players can use the included stylus to draw routes on their sea charts, which will then appear in the game. You'll also use the touchscreen to shoot cannons, make the boat jump over obstacles, and even take notes on the map. Sailing from island to island when you're out on the ocean has been made faster. Players can reach new destinations in half the time it would normally take in the previous Legend of Zelda titles.Unlike Legend of Zelda games of the past, which used a standard controller, Link is controlled in "Phantom Hourglass" by the stylus. This innovative control scheme allows pinpoint accuracy when playing the game. After a few hours of play, you'll control Link with a degree of accuracy you won't be able to achieve with a standard controller. Likewise, you'll attack enemies with the stylus by swiping in specific directions. This sword mechanic allows you to target individual weak spots on your foes.You'll be glad you have these advanced controls at your disposal as you face tough opponents in "Phantom Hourglass." At the end of every dungeon is a huge boss. These bosses are so big they take up both screens at once. Some dungeons, such as the Temple of the Ocean King, are less about fighting bosses and more about surviving. You'll need to use your wits rather than your brawn to survive this location.Once the story adventure is over, the fun is just beginning. Dive into the multiplayer mode where you and three friends battle it out. One player will play as Link, and the other three are dastardly temple guardians. If the guardians catch Link, the match is over. The player who survives the longest wins.

        Phantom Hourglass is amazing.

        This game is basically the part 2 The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. The story is interesting and maneuvering the ship is fun. I am almost done with the game and its getting more challenging but the adventure experience has been fun. After I am done with this game I am going to check out Spirit tracker. I don't want to give any details about this game because I am afraid of giving any spoilers for those who have not played this game. Graphics 9/10, sound 10/10 and the way the movement is function for this game at first it was difficult because its something new for me. You have to use the pointer with the touch screen and something new and something you need to get used to. Anyway, pick it up and try out.

        Clunky Controls for an Otherwise Compelling Game

        Phantom Hourglass suffers from the early DS games over-reliance on the touch screen, almost all in game controls ignore the DS's physical controls in favor of some touch screen gimmick that feels much clunkier than other games in this beloved action-rpg series. The story is still a compelling direct sequel to Wind Waker and may compel seasoned Zelda collectors to take the plunge.

      • Pretty good compared to most, but average for Zelda

        When compared to most games, the Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is a pretty good game. But because of the high quality of the Zelda series, it's fairly middle of the road for a Zelda. After playing it once several years ago and then again recently, I understand better what the programmers were intending with the one dungeon that you have to visit 8 different times - each time you're a little stronger/better so it shows growth. But it does get a little tedious having to go there so much. However, this game is TONS more fun if you have a friend with the same game to play with! My wife and I each have one and we play together. The multiplayer mode isn't great, but it's the ability to trade treasures and ship parts with someone else that makes it fun. What might only get me 50 rupees on ...

      • Excellent game full of nostalgia

        This game makes full use of all the features the DS has to offer! From primarily using the stylus for most of the controls to using the mic for different puzzles, this game offers the familiar Zelda blueprint but with a fun twist!

      • Fun Game

        If you are a Zelda fan, you should try this game out. It was not too bad a concept for the Zelda Crew's first jab at the Nintendo DS. It's not too difficult. It does bring back that feeling of playing wind waker, (on a smaller scale of course). Interesting new features and game play. I thought it was pretty fun. But regardless, as a Zelda fan, you have to play this.
