The Legend of Zelda:Phantom Hourglass review

Posted by: David in Video Game Reviews, Video Game Related, Reviews, Nintendo, game reviews, ds lite, ds on Aug 17, 2008

Today,I'll review LOZ:Phantom Hourglass.

The game takes place right after the events of Wind Waker on the Gamecube.First,I'll talk about the different items.First,there's the boomerang which you can direct where it goes with the stylus.Secondly,bombs.Choose them in the item menu and drop them or throw them.Thirdly,a bow and arrow.Hold L or R and pull back using your stylus and release to throw the arrow.Fourth,bombchus.They're similar to regular bombs except you use the stylus to direct the direction,they go in.Fifth,a grappling hook or whatever that's called.Use it to pull your self towards heavy objects,where as light objects will be pulled towards you.With this,you can also make a beam to walk across, and a sort of thing
that Link goes into,let's go and he flies into the direction he was facing.

Sixth,a hammer.Seventh,a shovel.This isn't the exact order in which you get the items.Link moves by dragging your stylus across the screen.Some people complain that their hands get in the way,but mine doesn't because I Don't put my hand directly above the screen.Making a quick line does a sword swipe.Tapping an enemy does light attacks in quick succession.A full circle,makes Link swing his sword around in a circle.Making a small circle at the edge of the screen makes Link roll.Link blocks with his shield automatically.

On a boat,tapping the screen shoots a cannon.The controls work really well.Salvaging for treasure has now been turned into a minigame,and it's quite fun!The length is pretty good,but certainly not super long.The graphics are okay,I guess.You really can't expect much from the DS's limited power and graphics capabilities.I haven't completely finished it,but I am currently at the end boss.The online play is not that great,but good enough to keep you occupied for weeks after the main story is over.This game also supports game sharing for single or multi card play.

My biggest complaint with Phantom Hourglass is the Temple of The Ocean King.You have to visit this same temple about 5 or 6 times throughout the whole game.And the end boss is located inside that temple.Which means The last dungeon is the worst that you have already done plenty of times before.Other than that,Phantom Hourglass is a really fun game that every ds owner should get.

Is this the best Zelda game?Oh hell no!It still deserves to be in your collection though.

OVERALL SCORE:8.8 out of 10
