When Tetra gets into trouble exploring an abandoned ship, Link attempts to rescue her, only to fall into the ocean and encounter trouble of his own. He is washed up on the shore of a strange island, where he encounters a fairy who promises to help him reunite with Tetra. But unless he can locate the Phantom Hourglass, there may be no time left for Link to survive.
The Legend of Zelda continues its phenomenal success with this new game that uses all the exclusive features of the Nintendo DS. Use the top screen to stash the map, then drop it to the bottom screen to make notes or to chart a path for the boat so you can look out for enemies and man the cannons. You can also use the stylus to move Link or control his sword and paths for his boomerang. Great new challenges await experienced fans of the series, yet this edition is also a perfect introduction for new gamers to experience the inspiring gameplay, innovative puzzles and creative settings that are the hallmarks of The Legend of Zelda series.
