The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Guide

The release of a new entry in The Legend of Zelda series is always a cause for celebration. The series has a tendency to outdo itself with each successive game, and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks doesn't break with this decades-old tradition. Those who have followed the series through several generations of consoles and handhelds know that there are no "small" Zelda games, only small systems, and this DS entry rivals many previous games in the series in sheer size.

Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the diminutive green warrior's latest adventure is its sadistic dungeons, which are unparalleled in their mind-bending puzzles and brutal battles. Even experienced players will find that many of the old tricks don't apply this time around. To put it simply, it's been a long time since saving Hyrule was this difficult. The good news is that we're here to help. We'll not only guide you through over a dozen perilous dungeons, but we'll also help you find the tools you need to escape relatively unscathed.
