The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is an action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS handheld console. It was released in 2007 as a direct sequel to The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, continuing the story of Link and Tetra.
In Phantom Hourglass, players once again assume the role of Link, who embarks on a quest to rescue Tetra, the captain of a pirate ship, after she is captured by a malevolent ghost ship known as the Ghost Ship. The game takes place primarily on the Great Sea, a vast ocean filled with islands and secrets.
The gameplay of Phantom Hourglass incorporates elements of exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat. Players navigate Link using the DS's touch screen and stylus, providing intuitive control over his movements. The top screen displays the game world, while the touch screen is used for actions like movement, sword combat, and interaction with objects.
Phantom Hourglass introduces a unique feature called the "Phantom Hourglass," which acts as a timer. As time passes, Link's life force gradually depletes, and when the hourglass runs out, he loses a life. To replenish the hourglass, players need to find and collect sand scattered throughout the game world.
The game also includes numerous dungeons that players must explore and conquer. Each dungeon is filled with puzzles, traps, and enemies, and culminates in a boss battle. Many of the puzzles in the game utilize the DS's touch screen, requiring players to draw symbols or manipulate objects using the stylus.
Phantom Hourglass received critical acclaim for its innovative touch screen controls, engaging story, and charming art style. It was praised for successfully adapting the Zelda formula to the DS's unique capabilities while maintaining the series' trademark sense of adventure and exploration.
