I thought I already made a thread about this, but I guess not. :D

Anyway, Zelda has made its way on to a good majority of Nintendo's consoles, almost all of them, if I'm correct, and the Nintendo DS is no excuse. About a week ago, at GDC, Nintendo unveiled their newest edition into the Zelda franchise, Phantom Hourglass. So far it seems to encompass some touch screen features, most notably from the video is the ability to project where your boomerang is thrown.

Aside from that it follows the same roots as Wind Waker does, not only with the graphical style, but the sailing. It is also rumored that it will take place after that of the Wind Waker.

I must have watched that video from IGN about 30 times, good stuff.

Hmm... I wonder how this will turn out. I didn't exactly like Minish Cap too much, hopefully the use of the touch screen on this DS-only game will make it better.

Seems quite interesting. The use of the touchpad has great possibilities. It'll allow for new and completely different puzzle solutions, new battle strategies ( boomerange trajectories? Sweet! ) and much more. Too bad I don't have a DS. Hopefully this'll work on an emulator. At worst I can always join a dev team to develop one JUST for that game :P

I heard about it a couple weeks ago. Its pretty cool. I get a lot of Zelda games, so I'll probably get this one.
