Recently, Club Nintendo offered a set of three Zelda posters in return for Club Nintendo Coins. One of the posters chronicled all of the different styles of Link through the ages, while the other two were from Twilight Princess and Phantom Hourglass.

Unfortunately, they were backordered, but it looks like they are now ready and arriving, so you should hopefully receive your Zelda poster set sometime this week.

It seems with Spirit Tracks so close to being released that sometimes we seem to forget the game is even coming out. Maybe it has to do with the disappointment in getting another handheld installment so soon after the previous while we wait even longer to even get a trailer of Zelda Wii. Maybe we just don’t like Phantom Hourglass, and thus assume we wont like Spirit Tracks. Or, maybe we just don’t play games on the Nintendo DS that much. Whatever the case may be it isn’t about to stop Spirit Tracks from bringing in awards.

Spirit Tracks won the “best of show” for the Nintendo DS at Gamescom 2009, beating out other titles such as Scribblenauts and Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story. This is according to our friends over at IGN. Loathe it or hotly anticipate it, it appears that Spirit Tracks is a very solid title soon to be added to the Nintendo DS’s library.

That’s right, folks – due to a gracious gift from ZU forum member dark-hero, we are now able to provide you with an incredibly nice, very high-quality rendition of the Phantom Hourglass Soundtrack. It’s up for download right now, and consists of 32 tracks straight from the game (with very nice fadeouts, might I add). If your clicking muscles are up for it, you can grab the soundtrack right now. Enjoy!

Zelda Universe received this OST as a gift from forum member dark-hero (who personally edited all of the tracks!) in hopes we would stick it up on our soundtracks section – lo and behold, the soundtrack cometh, like a jackpot at a casino. Although, according to some, Phantom Hourglass itself suffered from a lack of astounding music, there’s plenty to go around in this 32-track OST.
