Legend of Zelda ; Phantom Hourglass is a direct sequel of LOZ; Wind Waker but...wait for it.............. it's on the Nintendo DS. !!!. This is the first Zelda game on the DS ever and it does take full and perfect advantage of the DS touch abilities. You just do a slice or stab motion to attack enemies with your sword. Or you can draw a path on the screen for you boomerang to follow. And one of the most helpful additions is that you can draw notes, words, or numbers on your map to help you solve puzzles or to find a hidden treasure, At first I thought this feature was gimmicky but after playing it for a while it really is helpful. The story takes place out at the ocean when all of a sudden the Ghost Ship appears and Tetra (Zelda) jumps on it and gets kidnapped. So link needs to save her (again). To do so he needs the help of the three spirits ( the three goddesses in Ocarina of Time) and the clues to find the ghost ship are in the temple of the Ocean King. But you just cant walk in there and find it. The temple drains the life out of you. Unless you have the Phantom Hourglass (thats where the title comes in at). But the PH has a time limit so if you just Dilly Dally you will die. Its called the PHANTOMS Hourglass because the temple is guarded by Phantoms and if one sees you he chases you and attacks you. In this sequel you can draw a course for your ship. Boss Battles are great. This game is everything a Zelda game should be.
THE GOOD; Its Zelda, it has touch controls, the boss battles are as good as you would expect, there are tons of extra collectibles, puzzles and side missions to keep you playing.
THE BAD; Hard core gamers might think this game is too easy, running around may be difficult at times.
OVERALL; A must buy for any DS owner or Zelda maniac.
