As any Legend of Zelda fan would know, a new LoZ means more attacking, more puzzles, more side quests and one more gimmick to differentiate this game from all of the others. Spirit Tracks, the second LoZ game available for the DS, is built on the same engine and features the same stylus-only controls as Phantom Hourglass before it, and uses the same cel-shaded art style first featured in Wind Waker. The gimmick this time around is the train used to travel across the world, similar to the boat in Phantom Hourglass complete with cannon - although naturally it can only travel on train tracks.
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!
Low score just for hits. I am enjoying the game.
