About this product

Product Information

Set over a century later than "The Legend of Zelda: the Phantom Hourglass," "Spirit Tracks" continues the Wind Waker storyline. This title is part of the iconic video game series created by Shigeru Miyamoto. "The Legend of Zelda" story line has become a franchise rooted in innovative game play and storytelling that are known for engaging the player. "The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks" for the Nintendo DS has its roots in its predecessor, "The Phantom Hourglass." However, this game also stands on its own as an outstanding title. Like other games on the DS console, Nintendo requires that players use the touch screen to control game play, attack enemies, and solve puzzles. Navigate Link and Zelda on an adventure to unlock the mysterious Spirit Tower and restore peace and order to the Hyrule Kingdom. In this game, your primary mode of transportation is the spirit train. You have to draw tracks using the stylus as your characters’ means of navigation from one dungeon to another. Watch out, though, nasty spirits and enemies are waiting to board your train. While in previous Legend of Zelda series titles, you are on a quest to rescue Princess Zelda, in this one, Zelda dies early on in the phantom train. The spirit of Zelda appears to you and is able to grant you spirit armor that can assist you as you work through the game. As a game, "The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks" was widely received with enthusiasm and garners high ratings from players. This makes it a very critically acclaimed "Legend of Zelda" games released by Nintendo, placing it in the ranks of classics like "Ocarina of Time." Being able to traverse through the spirit tracks is one of the most unique mechanisms of created by Nintendo. Moving your stylus across the bottom of the screen lays down tracks. Your characters can then ride those tracks to other locations or to intersect with others. Nintendo does a fantastic job of keeping the action of riding the rails from location to location exciting and interesting. In addition to random encounters, you can blow the train’s horn to move livestock from the tracks or blast away debris with your cannon. It would not be one of the Legend games without fierce battles and fleshed-out characters. Along the way, phantom trains will board the tracks and attempt to destroy your own train. Join Link as he searches to solve the mystery of the spirit tower and release the princess from its vicious spell. "Spirit Tracks" was one of the last games released for the Nintendo DSI, but is not one to be overlooked. Its unique controls and imaginative story will have you replaying this game time and time again. Don't delay, take control of the phantom trains and rescue the kingdom of New Hyrule before it is too late. This game is compatible with both the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSI consoles. It can also be downloaded onto the 3DS as a digital download only.

  • Not my favorite Zelda game but my kids love it.

    I have yet to find a Zelda game that disappoints me though I'm not a fan of the control scheme. The stylus feels too imprecise for my taste. The story telling is ok. It is a fun addition to the Zelda lore. I haven't beat the game yet so I don't know if the ending will be disappointing. My kids (2-year-old twin boy and girl) enjoy riding the train and blowing the whistle. They also like that you can draw in the map. You can tell when they've been playing because the entire map of an area will be covered in scribbles. Not my favorite Zelda game but I'm still enjoying it and it's a wonderful game to hand to a kid during long car rides.

  • A bit of childhood

    I remember getting a DS lite for Christmas, and this being one of the games that came with it under the tree. I loved the games for the GameCube, so my parents figured this was a safe bet. I loved it. I liked collecting the stamps, catching rabbits, etc. I never beat the game though, before I lost the cartridge. Years go on, and I hadn't been able to find it at a decent price anywhere. It's expensive. I get that it's out of print at this point, and that it wasn't that hot sell of a game to begin with. But lo and behold, eBay came in clutch, and now I can actually attempt at finishing this game, lol

  • Wonderful

    I've wanted to play this game for awhile now but never really had the time or chance to until now. Put a good 2 hours in already and I'm in love! Would definitely recommend a headset with a microphone if you're going to use a 3DS though, because Spirit Tracks requires a lot of microphone action. This is a very underrated Zelda title and it's still a wonderful game!!

  • Exactly what I wanted.

    Dude, the game runs fine and the case came with the Instruction Manual and everything. AND IT WAS CHEAP TOO. That's quality you don't find here very often.

  • One technical difficulty in a fun game.

    Game crashed a few time around 2 hours in. So I had to play all the 2 hours again. However, I was able to fix that problem. Other than that, this game is so fun.

  • Love it!

    I love the Zelda series and I have all, but two and this is one was one of the two I still needed. This game was a lot of fun and I recommend anyone to pick it up. Although, I do not recommend it as a first Zelda game. If you want to get into Zelda I recommend Ocarina of Time. Have fun! :D

  • Good fun and light Zelda game

    Fun game geared a little more towards a younger audience, but I still enjoyed it - the first few dungeons are relatively simple, but after that the game becomes a little more challenging and entertaining. My kids love the game too! Overall a great Zelda and fun addition with the train.

  • Zelda is addicting

    I thought Phantom Hourglass was good but Spirit Tracks is the best Zelda DS game.
