Even entering it can kill Link, as the air is toxic. The Temple of the Ocean King is not the most welcoming of places. The main gameplay mechanic is the Phantom Hourglass itself. Apart from the handy sword, Link also gets access to a boomerang, grappling hook and shovel as well as other various items sold by a merchant or found along the way. Clicking on any object activates it and lets Link use it. The only move I could constantly pull was the somersault, but that might just be me. Attacking is as simple as double tapping an enemy the same technique is used to pick up rocks and pots along the route. The stylus directs Link on the screen and is used to control all his actions. The exceptions are the Temple of the Ocean King maps that can't be scribbled upon. The map can be brought down to place markers and scribble information on it. The top screen usually contains the map that puts the world in perspective, while the bottom screen is the place where the action takes place. The entire gameplay has been adapted for the Nintendo DS. And there's some really cool ship to ship action that players will surely like. Without spoiling the whole story, let's say that in the end Link gets the girl but there are some rather neat twists and turns of the story, especially in the latter half of the game. Finding the Ghost Ship isn't enough, as Tetra is turned into stone and the source of the evil is revealed to be the life-eating monster Bellum, who now resides in the depths of the Temple of the Ocean King. To get to the Ghost Ship, Link must find the Spirits of Courage, Wisdom, and Power, using maps and clues hidden in the Temple of the Ocean King, the main dungeon of the game. Of course he must go out and save the princess from the ghosts. Tetra is taken and Link wakes up on a beach. While on a ship with Tetra, who was revealed to actually be Princess Zelda, Link sees the Ghost Ship, which is rumored to be a source of evil in the land. Mountains are now islands and sea travel is a necessity. Hyrule is covered by water, as per the events in the Wind Waker, the direct predecessor of Phantom Hourglass. The game, as all other Zelda games, features a rich story, which can get a bit convoluted at times. So let's take an in-depth look at Phantom Hourglass, the latest installment in the Zelda series. With such a man leading the team, it's highly unlikely that a Zelda game could ever disappoint. The move succeeded and Ocarina of Time is still seen by many as the best game in the series. And much of the success of the Zelda franchise is based on the work ethic of Miyamoto, who even insisted in delaying Ocarina of Time for more than 2 years to create the best game possible at the moment. His genius in creating characters and challenges that instantly attract gamers is as evident in the games of the Zelda series as it is in the games of the Mario series. The series was designed by Shigeru Miyamoto, the driving force behind major Nintendo games like Mario and Donkey Kong. To add to the legend of Zelda, an animated series was released in 1989 and since 1997, Zelda-based anime is produced in Japan. More than 52 million Zelda games have shipped worldwide since the 1986 release of the first game in the series. And there's even a crossbow training game for the Wii starring Link. Zelda, Link and other characters have appeared in Super Smash Bros. There have been 14 official Zelda games on Nintendo consoles and that's without counting spin-offs. You can't really mess with the Zelda franchise.
