It would be quite an understatement to say that there were mixed emotions leading up to the release of Spirit Tracks. When the initial trailer was revealed earlier this year many people were greatly disappointed with the apparent direction of the series. Complaints ranged from the game being too 'casual', to complaints on train technology having such a fundamental role. With Spirit Tracks' recent release, many people have taken back their first impressions, leaving only positive feedback in its place.
Spirit Tracks was another great adventure in the Zelda series, in all aspects from storyline to gameplay. While Phantom Hourglass was an enjoyable game, it never gave the impression of being a Zelda quest built specifically for the DS. Unlike its predecessor, Spirit Tracks fully utilized the various capabilities of the DS console, in a natural and unforced way.
