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.
No title Amazing game, fast delivery, cheap price! every thing you need - Perfect!

Playable on Wifi and loving it, - Best Zelda, EVER? Just to put peoples mind at ease, this is playable online against other people, by the normal methods
One such premise is, One player controls link and must navigate a level collecting tri-force pieces, whilst the other has an overworld map, and must guide guards by drawing the route paths to intercept link, with a single sword smash, link dies obviously you can get items to help against this, briefly heh, anyway it is timed, so after the time runs out you either win or lose
the story is great in the offline game, it carrys on from the wind waker on gamecube
i think i just wrote what people needed to hear, you don't need a spoiler for the story, you do however need to know this game is AMAZING ON WIFI with your friends :)))

Link on his best adventure yet!! Tap and slide your stylus around on the screen to make Link attack, move, roll, grab, throw and solve puzzles. The controls work amazingly well and the story is the best yet. The little wicket pirate Tetra is back and she is on a hunt for the ghost ship. Things go a bit wrong for her when she steps onto the ghost ship. But Link is here to save the pirate princess again.
This time You will be more in control of Link’s actions then ever before. As you will be controlling the whole game with the stylus. You can also make notes on the map to help you find your way around this amazing new world and its dungeons.
The graphics are amazing and all the cute sounds are here also. The mic on the DS also plays a part in some puzzles.
Buy the game and take the best Zelda adventure on the go with you!!!

The best in the series? Veteran followers of this series may feel a little weird playing this instalment. PH is completely stylus-controlled (the shoulder buttons notwithstanding), and takes a little to get used to. The puzzles are pretty simple to solve with clues everywhere to help any one stumped to get through. The boss fights are pretty entertaining (and easy). Music and graphics are about as good as they come on a DS. The repetitive part of returning to the Temple of the Ocean King does drag the game down. A sliver off perfect. But this game is still a 'must-buy' for anyone with a DS.
Great for study It's a fantastic game. All dialog has kanji characters, but touching any unknown words will pop up the pronunciation, so playing along with a dictionary makes for great Japanese language practice! You really need to be able to read to figure out some of the puzzles.
yay!!!! I got it today after work I was so excited Thanks for the fast delivery and I'm enjoying it!
Thanks again BTW I posted your web site on my myspace to let more people know about you!!!!
Truely A remarkable game for the DS This Legend of Zelda is amazing and has so much innovation put into it. The way it uses the DS in every way possible is beautifully done. The Graphics are top Notch as well as the controls. I never thought a game on a portable system can be so good in every way possible. Highly recommend this game. This is by far the best Ds game to date. Now go out and get this game.
best game ever played on the nintendo ds well, the legend of zelda: phantom hourglass is the best zelda I've ever played on a portable console and it is the best game I've ever played on the nintendo ds!
