It was highly overrated, so I expected way more. The sailing around and the Temple of Ocean King was tedious.

I have never really enjoyed the zelda series very much. I can't quite say why, I just don't seem to find them very engaging or interesting.

It really just depends on the nature of many people. Can PHLoZ can be considered RPG or an Action Adventure?

Ah well, I think that PHLoZ is just not competitive enough, too easy, especially the bosses. The puzzles should be made harder - up to the Golden Sun type of level. And the game should be made much longer, I finished it really quickly. I also didn't get the 'Legend of Zelda' feel - it was more of a children-like game.

But, overall, its still nice. And, I like it. I enjoyed it. It was fun.

I liked it. Makes me feel like a kid again anytime I play a Zelda game. Maybe I'm biased?

Was everyone expecting something incredibly new and original? If you didn't like Windwaker you weren't going to like this. I'm not sure why everyone thinks that this game was so overrated. If you've played a zelda game...ever...then you knew exactly what you were going to get when you bought this game.

Personally, I enjoyed it.

I really like it especially because of the dungeons and bosses. I thought the sailing was much worse than on Wind Waker because whil on Wind Waker you could set sail to a distant island and do something else while Link is sailing on Phantom Hourglass you couldn`t do that because otherwise your ship was going to be destroyed by the huge amount of enemies that appeared. Sure Wind Waker had enemies while you were sailing too but Phantom Hourglass had way too many.

I LOVED it! :D I admit, I was looking forward to a button-mashing adventure and the stylus disappointed me at first.. but it made sense by the end. Really innovative and adorable, the game. I personally liked the difficulty, but I can understand how others found it easy (I normally fail at Zelda games, and I was able to breeze past this one pretty easily).

Phantom Hourglass was one of the easier Zelda games, imo. It was a nice attempt however.

I did not like PH, which is weird considering how i love handheld zelda games (link's awakening is my favorite game ever) My main problem is i still dont like the sailing, its to long and boring. Also i would have perfered the option to use the D-pad and buttons :|

like you expected coming back and fourth into a temple numurous times. What I don't like about many people on the forums is that if someone says they didn't like it, a lot of people will agree just because they can't make up their mind. I liked it.

It took 12 hours to beat it and most of the sidequests. It was a GREAT 12 hours, but not quite worth it.

Sure there were some fun parts, but overall I didn't think the game was anything special.

well im a huge fan of zelda games, although the only i played was link's awakening for handhelds... and its my 2nd DS game

i'm always skepticall about zelda games, since the ocarina of time, because they are always try new things, and im not talking about the game play, items, maps, etc, im talking about style, like the change from ocarina of time to the windwaker, or the more "mature" twilight princess,

adventure games from nintendo are always easy, sometimes too easy that you cant pass through, lol, but they are always fun,

i respect nintendo in this one because, they always put us the same chemistry and feel in their franchises, but with innovative controls, graphics, etc

like the windwaker, this one with time will be aprecciated more to the skepticall like me. When Windwaker came, everyone was so "meeeh is for kids", but when Nintendo came on with the twilight princess everyone WOWW OMG, but later we all say "is too easy, is not as epical like we thought, etc"

well, that's what i have to say

I like how many people say they either hated it or liked it without any reasoning as to how they came to that conclusion. I personally enjoyed it although I found the temple of the ocean king and the sailing to be tedious. But all the dungeons were pure fun and very well designed to make use of the DS controls, although the items weren't very original. It didn't really have the classic Zelda feel but was still a fun game.

Well, as the first zelda game that I really gave a chance, I like it. Though I found the temple of the ocean king very tedious. Then I stopped.

I hated it, sure you can do everything with the stylus, but it was NOTHING like the previous handheld Zeldas. I hate the fact that there was no small quest around the maps, and no secrets around the map.

I wouldn't say I don't like it... but overall it wasn't blown away with it either, its was a great game..but lacks some of the things that would have mad it a AAA game.
