The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

You sail across sparkling seas and explore lush islands, solving puzzles and uncovering secrets with your stylus in hand, feeling the adventure unfold at your own measured pace. Each dungeon draws you deeper into a charming world where exploration and clever problem-solving are rewarded, creating moments of satisfying discovery.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is the first Zelda game for the Nintendo DS and a direct sequel to The Wind Waker. The art direction is the same cel-shaded style as the Wind Waker but is displayed from a classic top-down perspective. The gameplay is structured similarly to other games in the series and is divided into two major gameplay sections: sailing between islands and exploring the islands and their dungeons on foot. The touch screen is used to make Link move and attack instead of buttons, you can also make notes of secret treasures and items on the map simply by writing them down. The game received critical acclaim from reviewers, who agreed that the game was a worthy sequel to The Wind Waker.
