The GameDaily One-Minute Review

Sail the high seas and uncover buried treasure in Nintendo's newest Zelda adventure, Phantom Hourglass. A sequel to GameCube's The Wind Waker, this game retains its predecessor's charm with cute cartoon characters and the ability to travel by boat to numerous islands; but instead of traditional d-pad controls, Phantom Hourglass employs a unique design in which you maneuver Link and fight by dragging the stylus across the bottom screen. It works for the most part, and as a whole, Nintendo delivers an excellent adventure, complete with bosses that stretch across both screens and a vast ocean full of surprises. Sure, it's a rehash of every Zelda game, but similar to all those cookie-cutter James Bond films, we quickly devoured it.
