The art direction is still cel-shading, but the game have notable changes from Phantom Hourglass with more puzzles and a new mode of transportation by train. You have to draw your route to the next area on the map and then let the train run its course. While the train is moving, caution will be needed to avoid obstacles, animals and enemies on the tracks. In certain dungeons, both Link and Zelda will be playable as they will need to work together to solve puzzles.

Fuuuuuck this game entirely. I appreciate that of their three biggest franchises (Mario, Metroid, Zelda), Nintendo uses the Zelda franchise to experiment the most with new and innovative gameplay, but all three of their most aggressive attempts in this regard—Skyward Sword, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks—are just... not in any way enjoyable to play. They are tedious slogs, start to …

They are tedious slogs, start to finish, and if not for the fact that I've completed every single-player entry in all three of those franchises save for this, Majora's Mask, and Oracle of Seasons (tackling those next), I would have ditched this game after about an hour. It's shit, and not worth the time or money.
I can't think of another franchise that has such dramatic gulfs in quality—Breath of the Wild, Link to the Past, Link Between Worlds, and Ocarina of Time being some of the best games ever made, yet the trio mentioned above are some of my least-liked gaming experiences of all time.

Just got the first map piece and I'm entering the Lost Woods.
