Re: NEW ZELDA: LoZ : Spirit Tracks (Tentative title)
Various bits of information from some GDC liveblogs:
Quote:
Kotaku:
A little train's rolling down the tracks, engineered by Link
Visually, it looks very much like Phatnom Hourglass
Dungeon maps are shown on the top screen, with action on the bottom... just like Phantom Hourglass
The real appeal is obviously driving a train in the Zelda universe, one with a mounted cannon on the locomotive
"This new DS title is tentatively named The Legend of Zelda; Spirit Tracks. It will be available this year."

1UP:
Train sounds.. it's Zelda on DS?
Zelda railroad building adventure with dungeon goodness.
Link has the ability to control/create enemies and make them fight enemies. Railroad mechanic is an extension of Phantom Hourglass boat system -- riding a rail and shooting cannons
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is the title.
Available later this year.
Very Phantom Hourglass like, but hopefully with new and fresh ideas. The new weapons and skills look like a good start, but Link looks kind of odd in his little conductor's outfit.
New Zelda looks better than my description probably makes it sound. Looks like a fairly traditional Zelda portable game, with puzzle dungeons and Phantom Hourglass-style touch mechanics. The train basically works like the boat in PH, running along the overworld (presumably on a rail defined by players). Enemy control mechanics look pretty nice -- link distracted a big Zora with a controlled shadow guard, then snuck around to hit it from behind.
