LoZ: Phantom Hourglass

I've certainly put lots of stuff about Zelda up lately haven't I?

Well, today I be talking about The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass which is a totally awesome game. I finally decided to take the time to invest in something worthwhile for my Nintendo DS and it's a helluva time.

I just love the whole concept of making it strictly "touch only" you know, where you have to use your stylus for everything essentially. It's so different from every other game, but yet, it continues off of a great storyline (Wind Waker) which just makes it that much better.

It introduces some new characters (Linebeck, "Grandpa"), and re-instates some old ones (Tetra, Link, Beedle) and it even incorporates a boss that ISN'T Ganon/Ganondorf! (Bellum) Essentially I think this is one of the better Legend of Zelda games. It really seemed easy to me, I could figure out a lot of the puzzles within seconds, but at the same time it was still challenging. I know, that's a total contradiction of itself, but it's completely true.

Like, there was a part where you had to use a bomb to hit a switch otherwise you couldn't possibly make it across the bridge the switch made in time (the bomb gives you a head start so to speak), but yet, in another area, I had trouble avoiding boulders that rolled in the same path of eachother. And it wasn't because I wasn't paying attention, I was. XD

I did love the part about the different boat. The King of Red Lions just creeped me out, so I was personally glad he was gone, and with the new boat comes infinite bombs! *insert evil laughter* that and I could actually bomb a seagull! I hated having to waste perfectly good bombs out at sea when I needed them for other things, so I'm quite pleased with their infiniteness (<- I don't think that's a word. XD)

Anyways, it's a great game, and I'm still not completely done with it, but I love all the little subplots and such that keep me from killing the final boss (well, one of them). So yeah, it's a great game, even with its flaws (which I have yet to notice) and I'm going to go play it more. Good night ya'll.
