Honestly, when my husband bought me my own DS (I am a 34 year old mom...LOL) to keep me busy during chemotherapy and just because I love handheld games, we got a bundle pack at Costco. It game with the DS, a game case and the game The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hour Glass. I can remember playing Zelda on the original Nintendo system that hooked up to the TV. My brother and I were addicted to that as kids. And here I was years later SUCKED right back in. Generally I love mystery, adventure, puzzle/brain, word games. So this really fit for me. I didn't think so at first but it has such a great story and I love hidden things and solving the story. I would stay up all hours of the night even looking up walkthroughs online!!! All the Zelda "stories" are definitely great entertainment and challenging. If a game has no challenge I lose interest very easily. This Phantom Hourglass does not fall into that category. I highly recommend...and not just to kids ;-)

Not the best Zelda game, but still great. Love the side quests and all the other options.

This was the first game I bought for my new DS. I like the older Zelda games for the Gameboy Advance and the Super Nintendo. I ended up having to go online and get a work through because I couldn't figure out how to transfar the mark from one map to my map. Turned out I had to close the DS. Talk about stupid. ...

I love Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass. I thought the graphics were great, the game was fun as well as challenging, and was a fairly long game which I like. Not one of those games that you're finished with in a couple of hours. Definitely recommended....

skandarian says "Action packed puzzle game, full of fun!" about Nintendo DS - The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

skandarian — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 22:27:37 GMT

Played and enjoyed the game very much. found it challenging at times over all a good game. The graphics were high quality, game play was long but worth it. Story line was pretty good, kept to the wider and younger audiences as well so that it was not overly agressive.

Would reccommend the game I give it a 8 out of 10...

I am not a Zelda fan. I have never played a Zelda game before trying it for the DS. For those of you who have never tried a Zelda game before, I absolutely recommend this game. It is amazing. By far the best game I have played on the DS to date. Even if you are not a Zelda fan, you will throughly enjoy this game. The touchscreen is used in very unique ways. JUST. BUY. IT....

loitschst says "Hours and Hours of FUN!" about Nintendo DS - The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is one of the best DS games to date. Being a Zelda fan, this game did not dissapoint. In fact it was 10 times better than I ever thought it was going to be. It was filled with exciting game play, mixed with many differnt puzzles and it uses the DS touch screen perfectly. By drawing your path on a map for you ship to follow, or throwing your boomerang, the touch screen works flawlessly with this game. Many DS games have not taken full advantage of the touch screens ability, this game however uses it perfectly and provides hours and hours of entertainment!...

Alright, baby! The famous Nintendo cash cow the Legend of Zelda finally makes the big jump to the DS here in this Phantom Hourglass game and it just so happens to be the sequel to the Gamecube title: The Wind Waker. Yeah, if you are usually looking for a huge quest to save some stupid chick you can't go wrong with a Zelda game (upset those abysmal CDi titles of course) but let's see if the new touch screen controls and smaller dungeons hurt this edition, eh?

After the events of The Wind Waker the young hero dude of the last game (Link) in on a grand voyage with Tetra (a.k.a. Princess Zelda) and her band of pirates. Things seemed to be going well until they discover a strange ghost ship and since Tetra thinks there's tons of treasure on there she foolishly jumps aboard and gets kidnapped (again!). Link tries to save her but he misses the chance and gets washed ashore and that's where your long adventure begins.

If you are new to this whole Zelda stuff then here's a quick run down. These...

sekushi425 says "Very addictive" about Nintendo DS - The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

sekushi425 — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 19:31:54 GMT

I love all the mini games in this version of Zelda. You can keep playing after you conquer the final "Boss" and save Tetra. There are a ton of things to discover. I love the fact that there is a battle mode that allows you to connect with other players for a different experience. The only problem is that some people are sore losers and drop out as soon as you start to win. I wish there was a way to keep people from jumping ship....

sailorshenshi says "Hard game...must have the book or find yourself in corners" about Nintendo DS - The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

sailorshenshi — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 02:41:50 GMT

Fun game but hard fighting the ememies. Unusual techniques are needed to fight like blowing into speaker to blow away fire monsters and such. stylus is easy to lose. A nice case and extra stylus are a must. Be careful opening and closing the DS unit. I hear it cracks at the hinges. Running around the dungeons without a guide may be hard. I had to backtrack to locate a missing key to move on to the next level....

livilouwho says "Best Zelda yet believe me I own them all!" about Nintendo DS - The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

This game is the best one yet. The only thing bad that I can really say would be that you try to make it harder than it is. I went to the walkthrough 3 times and wanted to kick myself for not thinking of something that simple. The dungeons are way harder tht the bosses. The mail man is the cutest thing ever. I think that the fact that you can make notes for yourself on the maps for later is the best thing about the game. It makes it easier for you to know where you need to go back to later in the game....

keiths001 says "This is the game that the DS was made for" about Nintendo DS - The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

keiths001 — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 05:13:08 GMT

I have been a big fan of the Zelda games for a long time now. Wind Waker for the Gamecube was a bit of a departure for me and I liked it fine, but it never really seemed right. When they announced that they were making a new Zelda game for the DS I was intrigued, but a little worried that it was going to be a sequel to Wind Waker.

Turns out I had no reason to worry at all.

The DS was made for a game like Phantom Hourglass. You can play the entire game with only the stylus, and it is used in innovative ways. A large number of the accessories that you can find work perfectly with the DS whether it is drawing the path of a Bombchu, the boomerang, or where to throw a bomb.

The map feature is amazing. Having the ability to freely write/draw notes on it to help you out is great. It lets you write down answers to puzzles, but also make note of suspicious areas that you know you'll have to come back to check out when you have acquired a better item. Being able to draw your path for your boat and then......

misskatieberry says "If you enjoyed Windwaker and like the Nntendo DS format, woot!" about Nintendo DS - The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

misskatieberry — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 19:30:01 GMT

This game is great for anyone who loves the Zelda series, enjoyed Windwaker and wants to hear more of Link and Tetra's story. It takes a few minutes to get used to the DS controls, but once you get the hang of it, the game plays smoothly and is very enjoyable. Be prepared to think outside the box for solving some of the puzzles using your DS machine!

Grrlgamer says "an action-packed game with plenty of variety in gameplay " about Nintendo DS - The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Grrlgamer — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 21:11:32 GMT

In The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Link is sailing away with his friend Tetra when they discover a portion of the ocean covered with thick fog. As they enter it, they come across a ghost ship. Tetra decides to board it to explore, but she disappears and Link falls in the water when attempting to rescue her, only to wash up on shore of a strange island, awakened by a fairy. For there on, Link's quest is to find the missing girl, aided by fairies with different powers.

The game is entirely controlled via the touch sceen with the stylus, and in some cases, the microphone. Talking to a character or interacting with an object is as simple as tapping it. Touching the screen indicates where you want Link to move while drawing lines and circles makes him swing his sword. But the interactivity doesn't stop there.

The boomerang is controlled by drawing a path, the bow is aimed by dragging the stylus in the direction you want to shoot the arrow, even your ship's route is decided by the path...
