The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

Outstanding!

Breaking tradition without breaking the formula. Read Review

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks sets hero Link on a daring new adventure. The game provides players with a new story, more puzzles and even a new mode of transportation.

In this game, Link voyages by train, which offers up new possibilities for problem-solving. The game has the same look and feel established in the hit Nintendo DS game The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.

The Consensus: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Review

DS Reviews | Dec 8, 2009

Zelda is dead -- let's just get that out of the way upfront. She's killed by a ruthless chancellor within the first few minutes of The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, and plucky series protagonist Link is tasked with returning her ghost to her body. But don't mourn Zelda's passing just yet: Her spirit accompanies you throughout the game, a clever twist on the classic save-the-princess cliche. Spirit Tracks is another success in Zelda's cherished history, and -- assuming you can acclimate to the touch-screen controls -- it's one of the best games in Nintendo's flagship action-adventure series.

Features

  • Link has a valuable new companion. While navigating dungeons, he’s accompanied by a Phantom, a hulking suit of armor that responds to his commands. Players can tap the Phantom to take command of him, then draw a line on the touch screen to direct him where to go. The stout Phantom can walk through fire or lava, be used as a platform to carry Link above dangers, or even run interference to block Link from harm
  • When Link conducts the train, players enjoy a satisfying combination of action and real-time puzzle solving as they determine which track to take and how to best manipulate their speed. When on the train, Link must plot the best route to the end of the line around ever-moving obstacles. While en route, Link might need to fire an onboard cannon at enemies who attack the train or sound the whistle to scare animals off the tracks
  • Link uses a variety of new items and weapons, including the Whirlwind, which players activate by blowing into the microphone of the Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi system
  • As with The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, players can draw notes on the in-game maps using the stylus on the touch screen
