Gaming The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass

It's not normally the sort of thing we'd review, but Zelda is a massively important series and the new Nintendo DS game could just about be the best action-adventure of recent years. Join us as we take to the seas and see if Hyrule can be as good on the DS as it is on other platforms.

 

I bought a DS for this game. Worth every penny!

Just a quick note though... Some of those screenshots are quite accurate. I've got past that point in the game now, but people who haven't might be a little annoyed (or thankful if they are a lazy gamer) because they do give away some stuff.

 

I want a DS just for this game, alas I've not go around to it yet though.

 

Been playing this solidly for a week, and still not finished, so given what I paid for it (£30), it's turned out to be better value than the entire Orange Box. (not that I'm not glad I shelled out for that)

 

The first picture on the second page is a bit of a spoiler, you might want to change it

 

only a 9? be you crazzzy!

this has 10 written all over it, been playing it for ages and the touch screen isnt used well in adventure games cos people stick it on just for the sake of it, its perfect for this tho, plenty of vexxing puzzles using the mic, stylus and clamshell that noone else has really thought about before

 

one thing I never understood about zelda is why dosen't link ever properly kill ganandalf and why dosen't zelda get some damm bodygaurds

 

ganandalf? You mean ganondorf? Lol.

 

did some impulse buying yesterday and picked up a ds. Good bloody job that it came boxed with this game and blew me away because £130 is a lot of money...

 

I keep seeing the adverts for this on telly, it makes me what to burn whats left of my student loan on a ds. Dam advertising!

 

Looks ace.

I`ll be buying as soon as I finish Contact.
