NL:
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is an excellent entry in the series - it tweaks, expands and in some ways improves on the foundations of Phantom Hourglass. Yet its touch based controls with liberal use of the microphone don't work as well as they should on the GamePad, with the Wii U struggling to find the ideal display format for the title. If you're playing this on the DS or even using the backwards compatibility of the 3DS, our original review stands and you can add a point to the score below. If you're playing on Wii U, however, be prepared for fiddly compromise in order to enjoy a
Tears of the Kingdom may be about to become everyone's new favorite, but there's one DS game that deserves more shine.
KeenGamer: "Nothing says gaming royalty like the iconic duo of Link and Zelda. Let's discuss which version of the duo is best, spanning the entire franchise. There are some versions of the characters that are more memorable and recognisable than others."
For me...
Wind Waker
Twilight Princess
Skyward Sword
BotW
These are the best Link's in that order IMO based on their backstory and general percieved personality in my eyes. Since he is silent in the eyes of the player, gotta rely on hidden backstory, motivations, and interactions with other characters to define the personality part.
Definitely Wind Waker, up until Tetra turned into Zelda which magically stripped her of her spunkyness. But once she's back to being Tetra she's definitely the most badass of the incarnations. This wasn't Link and because of that we got a character that earned the triforce and rised up to be a hero.
OoT. Link's most masculine physique plus just look at how hard that version of Zelda pwns in Super Smash Bros Melee.
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!
Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks are similar and a bit offbeat compared to the traditional Zelda entries. They are certainly very good and fun, but not epic and amazing like Ocarina, Majora, Wind Waker, Twilight, and Skyward.
Spirit Tracks sucks.
This game is made by Capcom Japan if I am not mistaken.
