Slash the Stylus across the screen to hit your enemy, talk to people, traverse the Temple of the Ocean King... Plain fun
GAMEPLAY
9/10.
GOOD
Epic storyline, (Why do I like Linebeck so much...?) great characters, good use of innovation and the space on the DS cartridge. It's quite a long and fun game. The controls are really easy to use. Just tap your enemy to hit/kill him. Bosses are easy to work out and a whole load of fun. There's also some innovative bits like closing your DS and blowing into the mic.
BAD
Online could have been so much sweeter if there was an option to fight someone your skill level because, believe me, fighting an SS rank on your first wi-fi match is NOT NICE. Sometimes, things in the story are a bit too coincidential, like a fairy finding you on the beach at the beginning of the game, an old man having a sword in his house, etc. The game is also slightly too easy for the older player.
GRAPHICS
10/10
GOOD
Who wouldn't like the cel-shaded look imported onto the DS? It looks an absolute wonder when looking at your rare treasure in 3-D on the top screen! (When the character models move, the Cel-shading also replaces light effects) Screen is also easy to see, DS lite or Not.
BAD

CONTROLS
9/10
GOOD
Simple and easy to learn. Menu and items acessiable at the touch of a button. Just tap an enemy to hit them. Easy.
BAD
Can be a bit flimzy if you haven't calibrated your DS properly, sometims Link doesn't roll at the right times, There are no D-Pad options, etc. (Overall, it depends on the taste of the person)
OVERALL
9.5 / 95%
I think this game is so good, even if you haven't played Zelda before or hate Zelda, you should get this game. You can make your own name for this game so unless you make your name "link", you can feel you're in the story and Link is you. The only disapointment over online, even though you can trade your items and stuff online, is that when you are battling, you can often end up going against a high/low leveled player and it can be really annoying if you are high or low leveled. There are also many disconnectors online. Much more than in Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2007.
I bought this game. It's nto disappointing at all, except for the online part. I loved the single player mode though and I would play it again a second time. (You get 2 save files)
Hope you enjoyed my review! Have fun!
