Developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS, this new adventure brings Link back into a familiar world that shares the story and art style of Phantom Hourglass. The game places Link in scenarios where he must interact with and command spirits to reach his goals, turning their ethereal powers into tools for puzzle solving and obstacle removal. A key twist this time is travel itself: Link and his companions ride a train that weaves between distant towns and dangerous ruins, offering a fresh sense of exploration and scale as the track network unfolds across the map. While steering the train from one destination to the next, players must also defend the car from waves of monsters that attack along the rails, making it a constant balance between navigation, timing, and combat. The visual presentation preserves the hand drawn charm and bright color palette that fans loved in Phantom Hourglass, while the new train mechanic introduces dynamic pacing and clever stage design that feel both familiar and new. Along the journey, spirit interactions unlock pathways, reveal hidden rooms, and power up tools that aid traversal, combat, and puzzle solving. The game encourages experimentation, with multiple routes to reach each objective and clever use of astral helpers to solve environmental challenges. Critics praised the title for maintaining the series distinctive mood and for refining the touch focused controls that make use of the DS stylus intuitive and responsive as players draw routes, guide Link, and coordinate spirits. The overall reception settled around four stars out of five, signaling a strong continuation of the Zelda inspired experience on the DS. For fans of Phantom Hourglass, the adventure offers the same spirit and charm while introducing a novel travel mechanic that keeps the journey engaging from start to finish.
