features
All game control is via the touch screen, and the stylus makes controlling Link more natural than ever. Touch the screen to guide Link through the world, or sweep the stylus around him to swing his sword. Players can even make notes on the map, chart routes for their boat or draw paths for their boomerang.
With Tetra missing, Link must enlist the aid of several fairies as he explores dangerous wilds, uncharted seas and baffling dungeons. As he does, he meets an array of fascinating characters, hunts for powerful weapons and collects sand for a mysterious artifact called the Phantom Hourglass. Over time, it will enable him to progress deeper and deeper into the ultimate dungeon.
Players compete with a friend over local wireless or Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection as they guide Link through special battle stages to capture Force Gems or command the forces that oppose him.
description
The Legend of Zelda®: Wind Waker closed with Link and Tetra setting sail for waters unknown ... but their story was just beginning, and it continues on the Nintendo DS. When a mysterious fog waylays their band of pirates and leaves Link alone on an unfamiliar island, a new adventure begins.
Link, Tetra and Tetra's band of pirates have set sail in search of new lands at the end of the Wind Waker adventure. Several months later, they come across a patch of ocean covered in a dense fog, in which they discover a mysterious ghost ship. Tetra falls into danger when she sets out to explore the ship alone, and Link falls into the ocean when he attempts to rescue her. When he washes up unconscious, he is awakened by the sound of a fairy's voice. With the aid of this fairy and other allies, he sets off to explore waters uknown.

Meh, ok, but Don't Buy I'll say up front, unless you are a die hard Zelda fan do NOT buy this game; rent it instead. The style of the game is great and game play and storyline are fantastic along with the new boat controls, but damn, it gets SO ANNOYING having to go back and back and back again to that damn Phantom's dungeon! You practically have to have a guide to even complete that part of the game! It's just so annoying and after your first time through you just don't want to go through the hassle again. So rent it from a friend or buy it used for cheap, because you do NOT want to play this after the first time unless you live for Wind Waker.

The Best on Nintento DS! Brilliant Gameplay, very nice and cute Graphics and a epic Soundtrack.Special thanks to you Nintendo for another fantastic Zelda Title!Please, could you bring out a new 2-D Metroid for Nintendo DS?Thanks to you Play-Asia for the cheap Price, great Service and fast Delivery!
Very fun game, and good practice for language learners This game is quite enjoyable, and cuts through a lot of the usual Zelda BS. I usually don't like modern Zelda games too much, but I liked this one quite a bit. Of course, the US version is out, so if you're just looking to play the game, you probably should grab that version.
If you're studying the language, though, this is a great game to pick up. All Kanji can be touched to display the reading, which makes looking up words a cinch. The dialog is mostly pretty simple, although it does occasionally get confusing with the whole bit where every character speaks in a different silly dialect. This makes a fun project for any student, and it's highly recommended.
