Breaking News: Breaking Down a New Trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

November 6, 2009 by SparklingBlue DS, Nintendo, Platform No Comments

While on my online travels this morning, I saw that earthbounding had found a new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks….

If we break the trailer down, this is what we find:

–It appears that the villian of the story (possibly Vaati?) takes Zelda’s body, but her spirit finds Link and travels with him. Zelda is also able to charm Phantoms and make them fight for you.
–The quest, meanwhile, appears to be something to the effect of reuniting Zelda’s spirit with her body.

Stay tuned for more information as I find it.

Happy gaming,

Matt Hazard: Blood Bath & Beyond Review

The original Matt Hazard had the potential to be a great game, good voice work with the likes of Neil Patrick Harris and Will Arnett. A brilliant backstory and marketing campaign which broke the fourth wall entirely, and the story while thin was entertaining and amusing. The sole problem came in the gameplay department which [...]

SB Plays The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

When the newest entry in the beloved Zelda series was announced earlier this year, people were both excited and skeptical. How well would a train in the Zeldaverse go over with fans?

Now that the [...]
