Have you read Gamespot's preview for The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass? It looks like it is going to be the best portable Zelda ever, I'm happy that not only is Nintendo keeping the Wind Waker's visual style but they are also maintaining many of the characters which are awesome, especially the Pirates crew.

I also like the fact that sailing is still there, although many people complained about how boring that was on Wind Waker I actually loved it, since while sailing you felt like a true sea explorer given the huge overworld. I loved to collect information from the fishmen and every time I saw the Ghost Ship I was so excited, even though I had no idea why was that thing on the game. But there are good news for the ones who didn't like sailing at all, this time the game will do most of the sailing work for you, I don't know how this will work but it will be perfect for those who even fell asleep while Link was heading to another island.

Based on the preview I can say that this game is going to have an awesome storyline, and the gameplay is, as expected, specially designed for the DS. You will use the stylus even for swinging your sword and performing different combos, I'm expecting that some of the puzzle designs will be changed because the new gameplay will allow Nintendo to create puzzles that are different from the already known "Light all torches on the room" or "Put the block on the switch" ones.

Nothing can be said about how long will the game last and how tough it is, since it is only out in Japan and it must be hard to go through a Zelda game without understanding a word of what people are telling you. I guess we all need to wait until the end of the year so we can discover those and many other secrets of Zelda latest game.
