Is it still worth playing?

In this 2007 Nintendo DS adventure, Link explores the world for items, information and allies to save his friend Tetra and defeat the antagonist Bellum. It has 3D cel shaded graphics and an overhead camera. Play alternates between sailing from island to island and exploring the islands and their dungeons on foot. On land Link uses items such as the boomerang, bow and bombs. While sailing, the top screen shows a map of the area and the touchscreen a 3D top down view of Link and his surroundings, and you can bring the map down to the lower screen to write notes on it. Most boss battles and certain events show a 3D view on both screens. Notes you can write on the map are still a tool for the puzzles.
