New Info for Zelda – Phantom Hourglass

It’s been quite a while since we have given you guys an update on the upcoming addition to the Legend of Zelda Series, Zelda- Phantom Hourglass. Well, it is a good thing that the latest issue of Nintendo Power has revealed a few juicy details about the latest adventures of Link and friends. The updates are:

• The first Nintendo DS Zelda game was originally planned to be a Four Swords game, but now that Eiji Aonuma has the chance to revive The Wind Waker, he choose this path. Phantom Hourglass will set the tone for all future DS Zelda games.
• It will see the return of Bow and Arrow, Hookshot and some sort of musical instrument, alongside the items we have already seen.
• A Ganondorf return is highly unlikely in Phantom Hourglass. However, before his defeat in The Wind Waker, his evil influence spread across the Great Sea.
• The King of Red Lions ain’t going to return in this one.
• There is one master dungeon you need to complete in the game. You can only progress so far though, so to proceed you need to work your way through other dungeons.
• The Darknut-like enemies we have seen in the multiplayer mode is a new type of enemy, called the “Chaser”. These enemies will chase you through the entire dungeon, but by using certain pots, Link can get immune for certain moments.
• Though Eiji Aonuma did not want to give any details on this yet, he confirmed that the microphone will be used in Phantom Hourglass.

We already know that the game would be fully touchscreen enabled. As for the multiplayer details, it is a 1-on-1 game wherein one player will be Link, while the other would take control of 3 Darknuts. LinkÂ’s goal is to grab a Force Gem from one of the center bases and carry it to one of his own areas at the side of the maze. The other player, controlling the three Darknuts, must try to catch Link before he scores any points and when Link is caught, players switch sides. That’s it for now! We assure you that we will keep you posted.
