Legend of Zelda Game Series

The DS has been pretty empty when it comes to Legend of Zelda series games, which is a shame as the series is actually an excellent series of games. Still, there is one awesome game coming out, and that is Phantom Hourglass for the DS, which happens to be seen as the sequel to The Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker.

Phantom Hourglass

What we know about this game is that it uses the same cel shading style as the Gamecube Wind Waker games, The Minish Cap and Four Swords games, rather than the more realistic style which is used by Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess.

The game uses the touch screen, or so I've read for aiming various weapons, such as drawing the path of the boomerang when you are about to throw it, or the path your boat (a new boat, not the King of Red Lions) takes when sailing. You can also draw notes on the map screen, which may help in dungeons for solving puzzles and not getting lost.

I also read that the game revolves around a huge dungeon, as well as a series of smaller ones, and you get items from the smaller ones (and the like from beating bosses and puzzles) and then use them to unlock parts of the larger, more main dungeon. I also heard that there are enemies which chase you around the larger one and can instantly defeat the player.

Note: I don't think the game has been cancelled. But don't quote me on that.
