The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is the first Zelda game for the Nintendo DS and a direct sequel to The Wind Waker. The art direction is the same cel-shaded style as the Wind Waker but is displayed from a classic top-down perspective. The gameplay is structured similarly to other games in the series and is divided into two major gameplay sections: sailing between islands and exploring the islands and their dungeons on foot. The touch screen is used to make Link move and attack instead of buttons, you can also make notes of secret treasures and items on the map simply by writing them down. The game received critical acclaim from reviewers, who agreed that the game was a worthy sequel to The Wind Waker.

Facing a tricky decision with Phantom Hourglass. The game emulates perfectly on the Steam Deck through MelonDS... if you keep the original resolution. However, when you bump up the resolution, it causes horrible flickering with shadows and some textures.

Read moreFacing a tricky decision with Phantom Hourglass. The game emulates perfectly on the Steam Deck through MelonDS... if you keep the original resolution. However, when you bump up the resolution, it causes horrible flickering with shadows and some textures. DesmuME has no such visual glitches when you bump up the resolution, but has occasional frame rate slowdown. If I'm going to play the game at its original resolution, I may as well dig up my copy of the game and play on my 3DS XL, since the game just feels better on the DS's resistive touch screen. So far I've played the opening of the game 3 times with all of these options and I haven't made up my mind. It's a bummer, I was looking forward to playing the DS Zeldas in a higher resolution, but it seems the tradeoffs are not worth it.

Lets Create an okayish dungeon that is a bit boring. then lets force out players to complete this one dungeon over and over and over and over again . sounds like good game design . dont forget to include wancky controlls

If anyone's interested in getting this for the Wii U, know that the screen becomes extremely tiny because they fit both screens on the gamepad.
