Title: Did anybody get Phantom Hourglass yet?
Post by: Redsox579 on October 01, 2007, 02:33:40 PM
What do you think of it? Are the graphics, controls, game play, etc. good? I've never really played a Zelda game before and I'm thinking about getting it.

New to Zelda, are we? What you're looking for isn't PH.

If you have an open mind, start with the original game. It's outdated now, obviously, but it is still a great game worth playing.
ALttP, LA, and I'm gonna have to inflict bodily harm to myself for this, but OoT are alternatives. I personally reccomend LA.

I only have a DS and GBA (for systems that would have Zelda games for them).

You got all of the handheld Zelda games there, then. The original two for the Classic NES series, the ALttP remake, LA, OoA, OoS, and PH.

I would personally reccommend starting with any of the consoles, as opposed to the handhelds, but... just my opinion.

The game is great and quite humorous, maybe even moreso than TWW. It takes up the same style of TWW which is cartoony with a a lot of humor. I think it's great. I've barely started the game, but it seems to work pretty well.

The game is mostly done using the stylus, though buttons do have functions for certain menu screens. That's about it. I haven't finished the game, yet, but I have a feeling that it will be astounding.

Yep, picked it up yesterday. I'm enjoying it so far, I'm just having a problem getting Link to roll...

The graphics are good for a DS game. The controls are awesome, very easy to use. ;)

The good is amazing. I've only played it for a couple of hours, and I love it. It's a great game.

But play Wind Waker first. Phantom Hourglass is Wind Waker's sequel.
