NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo.

Using the stylus to move SUCKS.

Didn't they learn from Starfox Command?!?!?

[momomo]

This looks more like pac-man then a Zelda game.

[blindsteve]

would be better if bottom screen was map and top screen was game

also moving with the stylus is gay, they should of made it so scribbling with the stylus was attacking.. kinda making it like zelda on the wii with the wiimotes

differnt movements with the stylus creats a different attack.. but nooo nintendo wanna make everything use the stylus even if it is crappy :(


DISSAPOINTED NINTENDO!

But he`s using the pad too.....for what reason does he use stylus and pad at the same time ?

because he's a newb

Control basics
Link is controlled with either the touch-screen or the D-pad and buttons. Link’s normal pace is slightly faster then that of the Darknuts. When carrying a Force Gem however, Link is much slower. The bigger the Force Gem, the slower he moves.

Yes, hes a noob indeed :) But that gameplay Idea looks awesome!

[s00pcan]

Looks boring.

[sneef]

it's just the multiplayer mode. there's still an adventure mode (like normal zelda games)

[donator]

The multiplayer mode in ‘’The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass’’ 1-on-1 game best described as ‘Pacman meets Capture the Flag’. In an open maze, one player takes on the role of Link, while the other player controls three Darknuts.The Darknuts are controlled by plotting their path on the touch-screen. This path can be changed at any moment and all three Darknuts can be moved simultaneously.3 times each turn, the ‘stalker’ can touch the “Link search” icon to view Link’s location on the top screen’s map is for a brief period of time. Additionally, the location of your opponent can show up sometimes at random.
