Product Description
The epic story of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker continues as Link finds himself lost in a new adventure. Link and Tetra, the leader of a band of pirates, 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. Featuring intuitive touch-screen controls and innovative puzzles, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass offers new challenges for fans of the series and an easy-to-grasp introduction for gamers new to The Legend of Zelda. The robust single-player adventure will have Zelda veterans and newcomers alike engrossed by the story as they move through the game with the stylus. A special two-player battle mode lets players connect locally or via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. One player controls Link as he tries to gather as many Force Gems as possible, while the other player manages the enemies who pursue Link. The replayability of these winner-take-all matches is virtually endless.

 Meh... May 3, 2008
I really tried to like this game. But there's just too much backtracking involved. Throw a ship into the mix and you've got hours of tedious sailing too. Every time you go and find a hint or a clue you have to return to the main dungeon and go through the same things you've cleared before until you reach a lower level that was previously unaccessible. It gets very frustrating and just isn't that much fun. It hurts me to give a Zelda game a low rating, but this one wasn't good. At all.
 Terrific Game - Best Game I've found for the DS Lite! April 15, 2008
Stop reading this review and click "BUY NOW" - you won't be disappointed. Where to start... no more silly XYAB buttons to press, the game is 99% played by stylus which is great! all of Link's actions can be finely controlled with the stylus much better than with the buttons. The storyline is equally good - without giving anything away, you must once again save Zelda, but this time you have a ship too! so you can go island hopping - each island has a least one clever and unique thing to do on it, and most have many. in addition to the regular adventure there is also a "battle mode" where you can play a totally different game against your friends who have a DS Lite. The graphics are A+ as well. (The graphics are so good that after playing this, other games' graphics look terrible.)
With the hint book or using the internet to solve puzzles this game will still take the better part of 2 weeks to play from start to finish, and if you only play a few hours a day and figure everything out yourself, plan on about a month.
I can't wait for the next Zelda game to come out :)
 Decent Zelda Title April 14, 2008
This game was a little different for me. I'm so used to using the D-pad to control the character that controlling everything via stylus was the most frustrating thing for me in this game. I got used to it after a bit and died countless times because the stylus either didn't respond to what I wanted to do or I overcorrected and fell off of something. Other than that this game was great. The storyline was awesome, the ability to customize your ship was nice, and the "dungeons" werent too difficult, which I really enjoyed. Plus, if you register it online with Nintendo you get a free special "feather" stylus to go with the game... pretty cool. I didn't think the game was too short like some reviewers have wrote. I'm actually glad it didn't go on longer. Most Zelda handheld games I've played have disappointed me and didn't live up to the Zelda standard, but this game does.
awesome all around game! April 13, 2008
This game is awesome! could not put it down for to long. I looked forward to playing this game all the time. its a great adventure game for the Nintendo DS I had lots of fun with it. looking forward to playing it again.
My Favorite Handheld Game March 28, 2008
There are plenty of reviews that go more in depth here so I'll keep mine short. The story is good, the graphics perfect, puzzles great, and interface awesome. I have enjoyed the entire Zelda series and this is one of the best in my opinion. My favorite puzzles involve the way they make you use the grappling hook and boomerang. Expect many hours of fun and enjoyment. Highly recommended
