The first reviews of Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, the series' first instalment on DS, are starting to trickle in from Japan - and it's scoring big. Three out of Famitsu's four reviewing editors gave the game top marks, with the other rebel reviewer dishing out a near-perfect 9/10. The final score is 10 / 10 / 9 / 10 - (39/40), the highest scoring Zelda game ever behind GameCube's Wind Waker (cough, cough).
Zelda games are all incredible, but the series shines particularly bright on handhelds.
The future could be filled with revived Nintendo DS classics. Hopefully it happens!
My kid yesterday proclaimed he liked the DS more than the Switch because the controls work on the go. Then I asked if he would rather have Monster Hunter Stories 2 on Steam or Switch and he chose Steam. So proud!
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass has been registered and trademarked in Australia. What does this mean for the franchise on its 35th anniversary? Will we be getting a remake of this DS classic?
It would need to be completely redone if it is coming to the Switch. Those touch controls would make it impossible in docked mode.
Who says nintendo has to go to the trouble of making it playable docked. Could just tell everyone to play handheld. They're nintendo after all. I've seen ppl defend nintendo for less so don't say it couldn't happen lol
A port would be a lot better than using the awful stylus movement on DS, be cool if they did the same for spirit tracks.
Must be one heck of a game if it's getting this high of a score on the DS.
Good to hear ^^
This game is the only reason I want to get a DS, but I only want this game
I hope this game is good since its been a few damn years since I've seen Zelda on any portable device.
Near perfect!
