    Time to hit the high seas with Link! No not Zelda Wind Waker, but the sequel The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. A game that has some issues with fans because how "casual" it can be. Because you do pretty much everything, eeeeeverything with the stylus. You don't even use the D-pad to move Link around. There's a lot of exploration, but will this chillness of the game affect my completionist attitude for this game? Let's find out!

      I had the same problem and I stoped playing the game. Few days later a friend asked if he could borrow the game since he was a big fan of Zelda himself. I let him take the game for a week or two thinking he was never going to make it through the part where I was stuck (print the map). Few days later at school he tells me he already passed me and that I needed to close the DS... I instantly asked him to give me back the game so I could continue!

    • @Absolute_Zero7
      @Absolute_Zero7 Před 5 lety +10

      @@Insanonaga I disagree. Spirit Tracks fixed the temple TOO much, getting rid of what made it great. The whole idea of taking notes of possible future shortcuts is gone for occasional items you can get going through older areas, the stealth mechanic, while still present, isn't as memorable since the brighter atmosphere combined with the lack of a time limit really removed the presence that Phantoms had in TOTOK, and while the cooperation with Zelda is neat, it's nothing exactly ground breaking considering that Zelda had that before, including Phantom Hourglass.

    • @Insanonaga
      @Insanonaga Před 5 lety +1

      PlayPod It has a definite chance to be something better than that though. Sprinkle in some side upgrades for return trips (like heart pieces, capacity upgrades, etc.) and add more checkpoints than just the one midway, and this is solid for a retry.

    • @Insanonaga
      @Insanonaga Před 5 lety +1

      nickssaa I have to agree, in some regards. I think if they made extra checkpoints in the original, it would have alleviated a majority of the issues people had (for instance, every blue portal the game throws at you once you get the sea chart turning into a yellow one like the midway point.)

      I came to appreciate the Temple of the Ocean King after playing Spirit Tracks. Spirit Tracks did arguably everything better than Phantom Hourglass, but the new Central Tower with its four dungeons was just disconnected because of the lack of backtracking, to the point where it no longer felt like a giant dungeon but more like four dungeons that happened to be located at the same place.
      They clearly listened to feedback, but I think it lost a lot of its charm because of it.

      The stylus aspect makes it much less exciting imo. Something as mundane as hit the switch run across the bridge in time is now a big hurdle, because the control scheme is so obtuse and awkward. Same goes for Skyward Sword, Spirit Tracks, and Starfox Zero. Nintendo needs to get with the controller program.

    Oh now this brings back some good memories. To me Phantom Hourglass is better than Wind Waker, Yeah I SAID IT! Now I love Wind Waker still (and it's story is better), but I had more fun with this game overall. I prefer my steel ship over a raft with a sail any day. Also this game felt more nautical and seafaring-y to me.
    The touch screen controls were super intuitive and enjoyable. Also drawing on the map was a lot of fun! Lineback was wonderfully charming, and so was the overall story. You could use your claw mechanism to grab sunken treasure! The time-stop hourglass dungeons were awesome! I adored the music (and the pixel art for the rupees). Plus your fairy didn't have an annoying voice like in some of the other games.
    Adventuring around and customizing your ship, all while discovering mysterious islands! Something I wish was in more Zelda games. And my favorite part was bringing this adventure with me in my pocket as a kid. So if real life ever got me down, I knew Link's adventure was with me at least. Man this game was a great time back in the day...

    Honestly when I was playing this game as a kid, the stakes felt *super* high. The Phantoms terrified me and the ever present threat of Bellum legit had me not wanting to put the game down for fear of him taking over that little pocket of the Zeldaverse (the entire world to my naïve lil' brain.)

      Agreed.
      The multiplayer aspects of Phantom Hourglass are so dope. Also makes collecting all the treasures / ship pieces WAY easier because you can trade them to other players.
      I remember back when my friends were all playing this we would do that, got us all to completion super quick.
      Tbh it's hard to review *any* game on the Nintendo DS without touching on that local multiplayer action, that stuff was so sweet at the time, and it's really cool to look back on today.

    What? You never even mentioned Bellum? I actually rather like the main antagonist of this game. I mean yeah sure hes not very complex compared to other zelda villains like Zant, Vaati, Yuga, or whatever... But I actually rather liked that the devs decided to make a zelda villain more simplistic. I mean seriously now EVERY other zelda game up until this point had a villain doing things for a big or story driven reason... Bellum didnt need to have some big motive, or backstory to be interesting. its refreshing after games where you fight a giant pig first, then a shadow of yourself, then an evil wizard who plays energy pong only to turn into another giant pig with a trident... Eventually branching out to Ganons struggle for power, Zants desire for being king of the Twilit, and Ghirhims lust for reviving Demise... All these villains had more complicated reasons for the placement as the antagonist. However Bellums reason for the evil he causes is as simple as a beast leeching on others to survive for itself. Its overly simple yes, but compared to other villains its a breath of fresh air.
    I love phantom hourglass to this date. It may not be the 100% best zelda game but its in my top 5 zelda games of all time for alot of reasons that seperate it from typical trends used in other games while also being familiar to veterans and fans of the franchise. I still dont get why people act like Bellum is a bad or forgettable Villain... He at the very least was more threatening than Malladus in my opinion.Its True that Malladus possesed zeldas body... But Cole had the villianous buildup and Malladus just took over for the final phase. Hell even the Demon Train had more buildup than Malladus. Also Bellum TECHNICALLY Introduced phantoms before Spirit Tracks... (Ya hear that Smash Zelda Mains?! PHANTOM HOURGLASS DID IT FIRST!!)
    In all seriousness I can see why people didnt like this game. But its still at its core both the Zelda we know and love while also adding in things to keep it interesting enough even if it is a little too easy. But if its too easy then why not just collect none of the heart containers? I see people do that on challenge runs of LTTP, Minish Cap, and even Wind Waker so its not like its impossible to challenge yourself here. Still though it is tempting to grab those heart containers though... Well if you managed to withstand reading this long as long gets comment thank you for actually hearing what I have to say even if its not what everybody likes to hear. If you actually read this entire comment ill be surprised since I'm usually not that attention grabbing. Well anwyways thanks for reading this and not just skipping to the bottom.

The Dude-references were in quite the abundance. And interessting take on the whole chill-vibe it's going for, which I can also sorta see, especially with how small and often minimalistic the islands were going for. Just interessting to hear a game that includes the time system for Temple of the Ocean King being "chill", which, btw, I also like the temple, because they put so much effort into making all your new items useful when reentering.

Not to mention that Jirard has been in a Chugga video before.
