The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - Nintendo DS

Top Ten Legend of Zelda Games (10 games items)

" While not the weakest in the series, this one barely makes it to number 10. As well as being in a very uncomfortable spot in being a direct sequel to Windwaker , it is also by far the easiest and least challenging Zelda game in the series and also the shortest, even for a handheld but it uses the DS' stylus to a great degree to give a brand new gameplay style to the series. Actually drawing sketches on your map for reference makes full sense and adds to the sense of adventure that the series is"

"While not quite as enjoyable to me as the Spirit Track Zelda, this one is still huge fun, and introduced me more to the interactive elements of sound that this game utilizes. I had never had to blow into a microphone or speak certain phrases into it in order to solve a puzzle in a game before, so that added a new wrinkle that was at least interesting, if not adding a whole lot to the gameplay for me. Other than that, this is a Zelda game, and uses much the same kind of gameplay as the other game"
