Is it still worth playing?
Link and Princess Zelda explore the land of New Hyrule to prevent the awakening of the Demon King Malladus in this 2009 action adventure for the Nintendo DS. Players complete quests that advance the story and solve environmental and dungeon puzzles, many of which use the touchscreen and other features of the DS. Play is divided into an overworld, which Link crosses on a train along the Spirit Tracks, and towns and dungeons explored on foot. On the train the player controls speed and forward or reverse direction, turns at track intersections and blows the whistle to scare animals off the tracks. A stylus controls Link and his items. Notes can be made on the map to aid puzzle solving, and sidequests give further rewards. A quest by train across an overworld is a journey that still invites a ride.
