The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (Nintendo DS, 2007)

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass may be one of the most hyped up Nintendo DS games of this year. It is the first portable Zelda in a very long time. It is just a re-released zelda game with a similar plot to previous zelda games. Link saves Princess. There are some core changes made to the way the game is played, but the gameplay remains exactly the same as it was 20 years ago. The game is very interactive and you will do multiple interactive tasks such as spinning the stylus pen in circles to use your sword, draw maps to locate items and remember important locations, blow into the system for certain tasks, go fishing, and more...There are loads of surprises that come along with this game. It is fun for all ages, but recommended for adults. There is a lot of thinking involved, so it will be difficult for younger children around 5 or 6 years old to play this.

PROS
