Manufacturer's Description
--------------------------
Taking the helm, in this direct sequel to the Nintendo GameCube
hit, The Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda:
Phantom Hourglass picks up with our legendary hero Link, along
with Tetra (also known as Princess Zelda from the fallen kingdom
of Hyrule) and her crew of Pirates setting sail in search of new
lands. On their journey they encounter a dense area of fog, home
to a lone Ghost Ship, which Tetra boards to explore alone.
However, evil awaits her and she is kipped! As the Ghost Ship
and Tetra are whisked away to far off lands, its down to Link
and his fairy companion Ciela to fill the Phantom Hourglass. This
ancient artefact can help protect them from cursed dungeons and
once again help them to save the day and the princess in this
brand new adventure!
Using the stylus, players can move, fight, sail, take notes and
interact with other characters all with intuitive taps, lines and
sweeping movements with their stylus. When controlling Link on
discovered islands, tap the screen in front of him to move
forward, similarly use the same motion to communicate and gain
information from characters around. Whilst at sea, players will
be able to sail with ease as they draw the path for Links ship
and fire the onboard cannon at passing enemies by tapping the
screen over them.
Links iconic fighting skills have also received a touch
screen makeover as players use the stylus to control our hero in
combat, tapping and quickly drawing lines to vanquish enemies
encountered. Players can carry out a lock-on attack by tapping on
the enemy which will have Link automatically deliver them a blow
or you can draw the line to perform a slide slash. Players can
also activate a spin attack by drawing a circle around Link using
the Stylus, making The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
intuitive and accessible for Zelda fans, old or new. Furthermore,
players will find all items, such as Links bow, boomerang and
bombs, are controllable with the stylus, adding a fresh new depth
to controls and puzzle solving in the game. To use the boomerang
for example, players must draw a path and their weapon will
follow it.
For the first time in a Zelda game, players can also flip their
to the bottom of the two screens to make all-important notes
on an area or highlight danger areas to look out for. However,
the touch screen is not the only Nintendo DS feature used in the
game. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass also makes use of
the consoles microphone.
But the fun doesnt stop once players have completed their
adventure to recover Tetra. For the first time in a Legend of
Zelda series, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass features an
exciting multiplayer mode which allows two players to take on a
battle of their own through either the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
or the Nintendo DSs Wireless connection. One player assumes the
role of Link, with the of gaining as many points as possible
by carrying Force Gems back to their base, whilst their nent
controls the Phantoms trying to make Link drop his precious
treasure!
With over seven new dungeons to explore and a new and exciting
way to control our hero, this latest adventure is for you,
whether you are an experienced Zelda fan of old or this is your
first adventure!
