Although certainly not as hyped or advertised as New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Nintendo has no doubt that Zelda enthusiasts are skipping school or taking extended lunch breaks at work, just to get their hands on Link’s next adventure. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks launches today, an adventure that takes place 100 years after the events of Phantom Hourglass. In this adventure, Link will have to team up with Princess Zelda to save Hyrule from ruin.
While the game will be similar in gameplay to its DS predecessor, Spirit Tracks will stand out in several ways. New dungeons and enemies can be expected throughout the vast worlds. Also, new items will include the Whirlwind and the Spirit Flute. And just like the olden days, Link can take on side missions like transporting cargo or people on his train. And of course, some new and familiar faces will appear in the game.
The game also features a multiplayer mode that will have up to four players competing to collect the most Force Gems. Of course your quest for domination will be trickier since each of the six playable areas to explore will have phantoms and traps.
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks marks the 15th game in the series, which has spanned the last 23 years.
