Nintendo Scans | Zelda: Phantom Hourglass DS Details

By Jorge Ba-oh 24.05.2007 28

A handful of scans have filtered in from Japanese press revealing some juicy details on the much anticipated handheld Zelda update, Phantom Hourglass, as the cell-shaded Hylian embarks on an adventure across the seas.

Thanks to The Hylia, a short translation of the above reveals some interesting gameplay mechanics.

As revealed previously, Link journeys across the seas with Tetra and during their travels the blonde female boards a suspicious ghost shop alone. Link tries to save his pirate chum but is swallowed by the rough seas to find himself washed ashore on an unknown island. Our hero meets a treasure hunter known as Lineback, who's after some goods aboard the shop

Can't wait for this game, will bring back very fond memories of Wind Waker.


Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

Hopefully its longer and less repedative then Wind Waker.

The Art style looks lovely on the DS, even without the smoothness of the gamecube graphics.

Never played Wind Waker, but I am really looking forward to this. Smilie

Some lovely new screens there, but does one actually have to cope with the camp nautical git in blue? Because I was looking forward to giving him a botched lobotomy.


Screwing the rules since 1989.

Yeah, that blue guy looks weird. It just doesn't seem right for child-like Link to be traveling around with that creepy looking man.

It's only a bit of paedophilia, guys. Chill out.

I wonder what kind of systems they had in place to protect children in Hyrule. Smilie

This game looks fucking awsome!!! I wonder what time line this is set... after defeating Ganon or before that?!?!?

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

Looks very cool! OMG. A GERUDO. YEY!!!!

Tetra looks like a man.

Zelda should be bigger than Final Fantasy in Japan as well... this looks amazing.

Hope it sells really well...i should go preorder it.

Avoid Games Like the Plague, productivity++

Lineback does look a little strange looking, but characterization will be top draw, I am sure.

All that I know about the game is that there is a dungeon that can only be accessed by seeking 3 treasures on 3 different islands these treasures charge the hourglass with power so you can spend time in the final dungeon in a attempt to defeat the boss.

The game is looking beautiful, hopefully they will be able to include a version of Tetra's Trackers in this if there is adequate space. LS

Looking great.

I hope it's another long game like Twilight Princess...

Why is Zelda still dressing up as a pirate?

Still a proud member of the 'omfg amazing water in games' society

^^^ Because she's a tom boy.

Anyways, I can not wait for this game. I loved Wind Waker to bits, so I am expecting good things from this.

I know! I saw that and was like, ZOMGSmilie, where were they hiding in WW?

Proud United State-ian

He's not dead, he's electroencephalographically challenged.

Do you think they'll just pretend WW didn't happen and keep calling her Tetra? I bet they will...

I guessing this is set before before hes meets Ganon and Zelda...!?!?

Well that is her name, isn't it? That is what she had grown up with all her life, and she will always been known as Tetra to her friends. Just like Aragon is known as Strider to the hobbits.

She'll be known as Tetra to everyone I think, she'll probably be addressed as Zelda on formal occasions. I doubt Ganon will show up in this, it'll prolly be an enemy like Vaati, Onox or Veran. Besides, if her crew know about her true identity, they may not want her true identity to force them to treat her any differently, know what I mean?

Yeah, she isn't actually Princess Zelda, just a descendant.

EDIT: Which means her name is Zelda since all of the Princesses in Hyrule are called Zelda.

EDIT 2: But Hyrule doesn't exist anymore... Damn you Megadan!

Vaati please, he's just too damn cool to never be seen again.

JB, please tell me you didn't just make a gay = paedo joke. Smilie

I agree about Vaati, I'd wet myself if he was to be the main bad guy in a mature Zelda... he'd look so cool in a mature style, I mean he looked cool enough in Minish Cap's Chibi style.
