Nintendo has released a new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, and revealed that, for the first time in Zelda history, Princess Zelda will be joining you on your adventure!
In the new DS game, she will play a crucial role in allowing players to possess hulking Phantom armored warriors via her spirit. This lets players directly control the Phantoms in order to solve puzzles, find secrets and battle enemies. You may recall the Phantoms from the previous DS Zelda, which you can read about in my The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass review.
Zelda also rides alongside Link on his customizable train, offering wisdom that will help players find new areas, storylines and items. In addition, Princess Zelda’s character will be central to the storyline of the game, and players will get a deeper look at this mysterious character and learn more about the iconic princess.
“More than two decades into its rich history, The Legend of Zelda has introduced another historic first for players as Link and Zelda unite to save Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Combining these unprecedented new story and game-play elements with the series’ innovative touch-screen interface on Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi, the game is sure to surprise and delight new and longtime fans.”
Here is the new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks will be released on December 7th, 2009.
