LoZ DS: Phantom hourglass or Spirit Tracks?

I have played both which do you prefer? I personally liked Phantom hourglass better then spirit tracks. They made too much of a big deal about the trains and I just wanted to get cool weapons and fight bosses and do puzzles all of which ST had less of. The Ocean also looked better then tracks because it didn't look as weird that it ws flat and sparsely populated as a the different relms

I liked Spirit Tracks more. I don't know why.

I like Spirit Tracks a tiny bit more because of the music.

Spirit Tracks is the worst Zelda game, and isn't very good overall. Phantom Hourglass is a fantastic game, and can sit proudly next to the other handheld Zeldas.

Both are great games, but I liked Phantom Hourglass more, since it had more nostalgia.

Defintly Spirit Tracks, I hated the Temple of the Ocean King with a passion

I have not played Phantom Hourglass but I am just about finished with Spirit Tracks and absolutely love it.

I thought they were both great. :cool:

What's with all the spirit tracks hate, it is one of the best handheld Zelda's IMO. It was way more entertaining than skyward sword...Ghost120x

Spirit Tracks by far. The central dungeon wasn't game breakingly awful (that was my biggest problem with PH, the Temple of the Ocean King. Sucked so much.) the game was more challenging, there were more sidequests, more things to collect, better puzzles and more cool places to go.

I'm not sure why anyone would pick ST... It had on-rails adventuring, shorter, and had it's own equivalent of the Ocean Temple (which I never really had a problem with).Minishdriveby

Except you didn't need to repeat parts of the Temple of Spirits you already played. each dungeon beat brought a new and more challenging part of the tower to open, replaying previous patrts is ocmpletely optional. I finally looked forward to beating dungeons again.

I haven't beat Spirit Tracks (just fixed a bridge to the third area) but I would say whichever is shorter. Was too happy to finish Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks is pretty much on the same level so far.

It killed the pacing for me, almost ruined the entire game. (Which is a shame because the dungeons were fun in PH as well as the bosses, especially against the Ghost Ship.) The puzzles in ST were much mroe challenging and satisfying to solve.

These games are quite polarizing and all opinions are represented. Some love both, some hate both, some like PH and hate ST and vice versa, its pretty funny. Sepewrath

I personally hated the flute parts in ST. The ocean sancturary guy wouldn't accept my playing as good enough when I was playin it perfectly. Took me 3 hours to get it. I was bout to throw my DS out my dorm window. That definately hurt that game in my eyes

I loved the Spirit Flute! It was one of my favorite parts of the game. It surprises me that so many people had problems with it; I never did. Do you play a real instrument at all? Maybe being a musician helps me with this kind of stuff.
