New Zelda Game - For DS

Yeah, I hope they took out the whole "One main dungeon, all other dungeons are just a roundabout way to get further in this one" game mechanic that absolutely destroyed PH for me.

Toon Link needs a console game, the art style is perfect for a casual audience and the game mechanics can keep anyone satisfied. No recent Zelda game has had the "magic" Majora's Mask and especially Windwaker had.

My disappointment is...unbelievable. Its like they ported Phantom hourglass sprites and added a few new weapons and a bloody train! Omg! A disgrace! This looks like garbage! I want my home console Zelda. You dont have 2 handheld releases come out in a row! Thats garbage! Bahhh so freakin stupid! Unbelievable! The laziness of nintendo here!!!!!!
How is it lazy? The development for a AAA DS title is comparable to that of a AAA Wii title. Besides, that's like saying they ported Pokemon Red over to make Pokemon Gold. Similar titles, yes, but oh so different.

Keep in mind they changed alot of things, sprites, colors, pokemon. Not alot changed in this version. I feel like its just an expansion pack of Phantom Hourglass. And what if something similar to that stupid temple of the ocean king returns? Bah Ill hate it if it happens. Also, link in a train outfit? No no no no NO! I am just saying that Nintendo has never released two handheld games in a row. the oracle games came out at same time. But between Links awakening and oracle games was 2, maybe 3 if the black and white LA version came out before Link to the past.

Just look at Link's Awakening and the Oracle games.
Similar sprites and gameplay. But a different plot, items, dungeons, and side-quests. Like all Zelda games.

Yeah but the style of gameplay was praised, I havent heard exactly "Good" reviews ranting about PH's gameplay.

Phantom Hourglass was okay, but not great. This looks like it's going to be very similar. Many of the same sprites are being used, but that doesn't necessarily make it a bad game. I'd like to find out how Link ends up with a train. After all, the world that Link lives in now and the world he explored in PH are basically a bunch of islands, so a train would be pretty much useless. So if it's going to be part of the WW timeline, it'll be interesting to see where the train is actually used. I would still much rather have a console zelda game, but this is better than nothing.

the use of a land vehicle, along with the scene of Zelda in a throne room, leads us to assume they've found New Hyrule; they're on a continent now, and we don't have to worry about any more islands.

Once I saw that train riding on the rails well... I didn't know what to think. I'll reserve judgment though, at least for a while longer.

They should make a steampunk Zelda, it's the next logical step.

Oh god yes~

supposedly that's what they were going for but they screwed it up.

I'll still get it.

But Phantom Hourglass was WAAAAAAAAAAAY too easy.
I don't even know what the game over screen in that game is like.

I do not want to see more PH. D:
