The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (Nintendo DS)

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (Nintendo DS)
The epic story of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker continues as Link finds himself lost and alone in unknown seas in a new adventure. 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. But time grows short, and only the Phantom Hourglass can buy Link the minutes he?ll need to survive.
Many months have passed since the events of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and Link, Tetra and Tetra?s band of pirates have set sail in search of new lands. They come across a patch of ocean covered in a dense fog, in which they discover an abandoned ship. Tetra falls into danger when she explores the ship alone, and Link falls into the ocean when he attempts to rescue her. When he washes up unconscious on the shores of a mysterious island, he is awakened by the sound of a fairy?s voice. With the aid of this fairy, he sets off to find Tetra ? and his way back to the seas he once knew.
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is controlled almost entirely by the stylus. Using the touch screen, players direct Link?s movements and attacks: A sweeping motion triggers Link?s spin attack and tapping characters makes Link speak with them. The stylus controls offer a more intuitive means of playing the game and open up new possibilities for puzzle solving.
The game action takes place primarily on the touch screen, with a map on the top screen. However, the player can inspect the map on the touch screen and make notes using the stylus. The notes on these maps are saved for review on the top screen during game play. Players use the map to chart courses for their ships, too. Using the stylus to draw a path through the islands, players set their ships? courses. Then, as the ships automatically follow the paths drawn, players can control their ships? cannons to target oncoming enemies.

Customer Review: Best DS game yet!!!
As a fan of Zelda games, and of the DS, I was really excited about the Phantom Hourglass… and I wasn’t one bit disappointed! The game carries on the great Zelda tradition for anyone familiar with it, and it is a direct follow-on to the Gamecube Zelda and the Wind Waker - it starts where the Wind Waker finished off. A must for Zelda fans!! But even if you haven’t played other Zelda games, you are given a full story and will enjoy it as a standalone game. The story is great, funny in parts and with a main story and side-quests to keep you occupied for ages. The thing I really loved about this Zelda was the touch screen. This game really uses the touch screen functions, from running and using your sword, to more fun things like deciding what direction your boomerang goes in, mapping out your sea journey on your sea-chart, calling through the microphone to get a character’s attention or to blow on lanterns and dusty maps, and the most useful thing of all: writing notes on your map or circling where a trap is, for example. Sooo handy, you’ll wonder how you ever went through a dungeon in a game without it! There’s lots more the DS functions are used for, but I think you get the general idea that it’s really well used! I’ll stop now, but basically I’d really recommend this game to everybody who likes DS games where the touch screen is used, likes role-playing or action type games, and who wants something that will keep them entertained for a good while! Suitable for any age or gender (I’m a 20 year old female). Buy it now!!!:)
Customer Review: great fun
After seeing my sister playing an old zelda game on the gameboy years ago, i thought id give this new one ago on the ds. I originally thought that this game would be mega easy and really simple. I was happy to be proven wrong. Its very easy game play, but some of the tasks can be challenging, which i was pleasantly suprised at as i thought this game was for the younger crowd. The story line is good, although i find not as addictive as others, but then its easy to retrun to as it isnt as complicated as some rpg’s.
A great game to play if you cant dedicate hours on end to and can only spare 30 mins here and 10 mins there.

Customer Review: If you’ve a brain: AVOID
According to the box cover, there are “more than 10 million users worldwide!” of More Brain Training. Yes; well. . . If those stats are as reliable as the program, then they’re best taken with a huge pinch of salt. Because this thing simply doesn’t work. The concept’s OK but the execution? Not a chance. Hand writing recognition is far inferior to, for example, the Nintendo DS ‘Word Power’ game. Speech recognition is erratic. And, most serious of all, there’s a significant software fault (at least, in the brand new MBT which I have) which renders all user efforts, pointless. The error occurs in “brain age” checking, where if the user opts for non-vocal assessment, ‘Dr Kawashima’ (who he?) comes up with three “test modes” which have to be worked through on the touch screen. So far, so good. Test mode 1 is serial subtraction, test mode 2 is high number identification, and test mode 3, serial addition. Test modes 1 and 2 function correctly: they run for a few minutes (obviously, this depends on the speed of the user) but test mode 3 goes on and on and on and on and on and on. . . Locked into a permanent loop, the “assessment” keeps throwing up numbers to add to preceding totals until in excess of 100 is reached, at which point the software fails to recognise a triple-digit total and hangs with a large question mark showing. There is no escape or exit mechanism. The only available button is “Try Again”. And all that achieves is for the software to throw up a new number, then another number to add to it, and so on, and so on, and so on, until a triple digit total is reached, at which point everything hangs again because the total cannot be recognised. Users can, of course, press “Try Again”. But doing so invites only an unending repetition of all that has gone before. And because there is no exit facility at all — an appalling omission in any software, and especially inexcusable in something like this — the only option left is to shut down the console. . . Which means the “brain age” assessment is not complete and so all the time and effort expended up to that point has been a complete waste. On re-start, it is the case that, very often, though by no means every time, the “brain age asessment” modes substitute a numerics and symbols recognition test in place of the flawed infinite serial addition test. In which case, all three modes run correctly and a “brain age” result is yielded. Of course, there’s no scientific basis whatsoever for any of this: “brain age” is a daft concept and not to be taken seriously anyway. Mental stimulation, however, does have credibility, and so if ‘Dr Kawashima’s’ offering is approached in that light, then it’s possible some value may be derived. But as the selling point of this software is: “HOW OLD IS YOUR BRAIN?”, then its consistent failure to manage its so-called assessments militates so seriously against buying it that any prospective user with a functioning brain cell would be well advised not to bother.
Customer Review: Excellent!
Received this for Christmas and I can honestly say it has been utilised by everyone in the family with ages ranging from 30 to the late 70’s! Having never played this before and being totally new to an Nintendo DS Lite it is easy to use, clear with instructions and really gets the competitive spirit going! All I can say is that it is worth every penny and the entertainment value is superb. Buy it and have some fun!
