The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for DS

The game follows the adventures of Link and Tetra, the leader of a band of pirates, as they discover a ghost ship in dense fog. Link falls into the ocean when Tetra gets into trouble, and he wakes up alone on the shore of a mysterious island. Throughout the game, Link collects sand for his Phantom Hourglass, which allows him to explore deeper and deeper into a time-limited dungeon in his quest to find Tetra.

The Zelda series is famous for its unique design, great story line, and controls. That being said, this game is no different than any other. The design is great, controls are awesome, and the story line is not too long or too short. Being the sequel to the Wind Waker, this game lives up to every... Read full review »

This is Nintendo's first Zelda DS entry and they've done a very nice job capturing the spirit of the series on this tiny device. The graphics is 3D but feels cartoonish and is vastly different from a lot of the other Zelda games and resembles games such as Animal Crossing DS. However, it's in... Read full review »

Zelda was one of the first games to hit the DS and acts as a sequal to Wind Waker, the Zelda gamecube game. Like most Zelda games it features dungeons, puzzles and boss fights. It is definitely worth a play for the kids.  Read full review »

Phantom Hourglass brings the series to DS. However its a flawed transition, it uses Windwakeresque graphics that DS could never hope to imitate. The overworld is gone, whereas Windwaker was populated with islands phantom has a scant islands scattered around a barren map. There is no difficulty,... Read full review »

The game Zelda and the Phantom Hourglass is a great addition to the Zelda collection. I will admit the graphics like Windwaker were childish and blocky.

Phantom Hourglass lives up to its Legend of Zelda status - with the classic Zelda adventure style, awesome dungeon bosses, and tons of side quests and mini games to keep you playing long after you've beaten it. To beat this game 100%, it might take a whole week or two longer.
