Oct 1, 2007 In some peoples Zelda codec, boat = monotony. Wind Wakers Triforce trawl and irksome wind realignment did for many of you, leaving jaded gamers in its wake. Well, get over it. Although a canonical continuation of Wind Waker, this is a custom-built DS outing, determined to deliver more than a control-scheme makeover. From the moment Link plunges his hand into a chest and pulls out… nothing at all to an off-key discovery jingle, you know youre in for something quite ...

Set sail for Link's watery Wind Waker sequel
May 24, 2007
Such a treasure chest of gorgeous new screens can mean only one thing - Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is due for release in Japan in mere weeks on June 23, and were giggling insanely at the thought of setting sail once more on the Great Sea in search of pirates, booty and… the missing Tetra? Phantom Hourglass is the sequel to the excellent Wind Waker on GameCube, an adventure that saw Link reincarnated as a lad in a flooded future world where only the highest bits of land remained ...   » Read Full The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass preview

Think once, think twice, think Link
Apr 18, 2007
We've all been clamoring for more Zelda ever since completing Twilight Princess (who'd have thought Midna was such a hottie, eh?). And with Phantom Hourglass coming into view, our next adventuring fix is only just around the corner. While details on the single-player game are still thin on the ground (we know it's a sequel to Wind Waker, and there's an enormous "master dungeon" you'll need to leave and re-enter as the game progresses, as you won't be able to finish it in one go), more info has ...   » Read Full The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass preview
Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - multiplayer hands-on
It's Red Link vs. Blue Link in capture the triforce
Mar 14, 2007
There's been talk of a Zelda: Four Swords game for DS for a while now, so when we got our first look at Phantom Hourglass's multiplayer element, we were surprised to see that the co-op steal-a-thon we were expecting was nowhere to be found (although there are different colored Links). Instead, Eiji Aonuma and his portable Zelda team have come up with a fun little one-on-one battle game which has a red and blue Link fighting over scattered triforce pieces in a Pac-Man style maze. You're tasked ...   » Read Full The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass preview

Friday 12 May 2006 Were you one of those people that really had to struggle with the Saturday morning graphics of 2003's Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker? Well, get over it, because the 'toon style is back and this time you're only going to be using the DS' stylus to save the day. Phantom Hourglass seemingly ignores every button on the handheld, forcing you to guide Link through Hyrule by pointing and sliding the stylus across the touch screen. A fairy accompanies the pointy-eared hero, ...   » Read Full The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass preview

Well, get over it, because the 'toon style is coming back - and this time, you're only going to be using the DS' stylus to save the day. Phantom Hourglass seemingly ignores every button on the handheld, forcing you to guide Link through the land of Hyrule by pointing and sliding the stylus across the touch screen.
