“The storyline for The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass represents a new pinnacle for hand-held video games,” says Ron Bertram, vice president and general manager, Nintendo of Canada. “We are also pleased to announce the title will provide Canadians with an option to play the game in English or French.”
Veteran gamers should be able to pick it up and start playing instantly. “The game is a pure testament to both the power and innovative aspects of DS, delivering an overall product that will blow gamers away visually, stylistically and cinematically,” says Mark Bozon of IGN.com.
But what about people who haven’t played a Zelda game since the original on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987? No worries. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass has players navigate through the game using only the touch screen. Sliding the stylus swings hero Link’s sword, while tapping other characters starts conversations or battles. Players can even write notes on their maps to remind them of places they should revisit once they gain more items and experience.
If two players want to spend a little time together with The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, they have two options. If they’re in the same room, they can play over a local wireless connection. If they’re far apart, they can use their Internet connection to log onto Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and battle in the two-player mode, which lets one player control Link while the other player controls the enemies who are after him.
