The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass: A New Legend?

95% score
I believe that The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is probably one of the best DS games I have played. It follows the gameplay of the previous Zelda titles and, obviously, improves on the graphics compared to other handheld Zelda games. For starters, if the use of a touch screen and stylus doesn't pique your interest right off the bat, the 3D cell-shaded look of the game should turn your head. The unique storyline and the way the touch screen is implemented into the gameplay (the stylus is used to move Link instead of the directional pad)is brilliant. Featuring, once again, the green-clad pointy-eared warrior, you must proceed through the game by traveling from island to island, via boat, and traverse through many labyrinthine dungeons and temples. You must also complete various tasks as you try to find a way to save your friend Tetra from the clutches of the Ghost Ship. The game has a satisfying length: not too long but definitely not short! Overall, I would highly recommend this game especially for you Zelda fans, but also for anyone looking for a thrilling, worthwhile game to play. I rate this game a 4.75 out of 5.
