Looks like the European flavor of box art for Spirit Tracks has surfaced on the internet. And I’ll be the first one brave enough to say it: This box art is much nicer than the US version. By a longshot.

Ya, This definitley looks better than the US box. It’s way more interesting to look at.
October 28th, 2009 at 12:58 am
Look at the town in the background. Let the Speculations commence!
October 28th, 2009 at 1:01 am
figures Europe gets the best box again(even though the have to wait longer) and that it has completely original artwork unlike the us which just has the artwork we had from day 1
October 28th, 2009 at 1:01 am
Looks nice! Too bad i get the US boxart. But at least we'll play it before anyone else XD
October 28th, 2009 at 1:04 am
WHAT HE FUCK! Europe gets the train AND Zelda? and all we get is a fricken Darknut!? thats so unfair!
no offense to any European people but why do you always get everything cool? Med evil times, Renaissance, Harry Potter. Its not fair! Wah!
(and yes I know I sound like a 3 year old-that's the joke.)
October 28th, 2009 at 1:05 am
and whats that tower thing in the back round?
October 28th, 2009 at 1:09 am
I hope they take out the American design and use this one instead.
October 28th, 2009 at 1:42 am
Amazing boxart. I wish we could have gotten it too, but box-art is box-art. Can't wait to see Japan's

"And I’ll be the first one brave enough to say it:"
LIES! I already said it
October 28th, 2009 at 4:42 am
hmmmm i like it ALOT more then the US version… i wish i had that one even though i had 2 wait a bit longer… i eman, u can stare at this one for a long time, figuring out every little detail from it, the US version is just like: oh ok, cool… NEXT!
i loooove it, especially with zelda… as a ghost?!?!?! weird… well i dont think its a ghost… but she looks too transparent compared to link… AND it looks like she is flying…
i tell you, i can keep lookign at this one for a looong time (although i would need a much bigga version for every detail) but… damm US boxart! I WANT DIS ONE! I WANT DIS ONE! also, tower on back looks awesome, and if u look very deep, behind the tower u will find… ICE!!! lol, its like mountains of ice, lol, i bet 500 dollars it is the "ice temple" … ok, i have written too much here… lolz, but i tell ya, i could keep lookin and looking….

Someone said it was the Tower of Hera, but it looks much more like Tower of the Gods to me.
Though, I don't think it's either.
October 28th, 2009 at 8:08 am
I like this boxart but i prefer the other one cause it make's Link look badass. but this one looks good too. oooo i cant wait for this game. just counting down the days!
October 28th, 2009 at 11:50 am
Mr. Vaati is right, that does look like ice! The tower will definatly be important. Also you can see in the background that there is some sort of fire-thing too. And I think Zelda might be the Navi of this game, but she is a SPIRIT, that is why it is called SPIRIT TRACKS!
October 28th, 2009 at 7:57 am
Looks great, I love it!
Did anybody yet found one with a higher resolution? I was searching like crazy but did not find one yet.
October 28th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
It's awesome!!! 8D
October 28th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
What happened to the car of coal in the American version? So Link doesn't need coal for his train anymore? Colonel Ganon is probably right, it's called Spirit Tracks… does this mean Zelda is dead, ghost=dead? Look at that mountain right from the tower, it's spiral, probably important somehow. And I look carefully at the horizon and I think it looks like a castle over there. I don't think it necessarely has to be ice, just so white because it's far away. Too bad Zelda is dead, who are you going to save??? If Zelda was the Navi of this game would that mean she would be constantly circling Link and shouting "HEY!" "LISTEN!!" "HEY LISTEN!!!" ??? Imagine how crazy it would look if Zelda was flying in circles around Link all the time. Nah, maybe Zelda isn't a ghost after all, we're just gona have to wait and see.
October 28th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
WRONG!!!
Uh, sorry for the outburst, but Zelda isn't dead according to this article I just found the "Spirit" might be due to avoiding ghost TRAINS!
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Legend-of-Zelda-Sp...
I didn't read the article, but it did say "ghost trains". Phew, a dead Zelda? No thanks, doesn't look transparent to me. We'll see how it is in december!
October 28th, 2009 at 4:57 pm

''And I’ll be the first one brave enough to say it: This box art is much nicer than the US version. By a longshot.''
You're not even the first person to show this, even less the first one to say it out loud
But you -are- the first one brave enough to assume you are the first one to say it.
I'm outraged that they get something so pretty. And figurines special. I kinda doubt we'll get that special offer here.
That put aside, as long as I get a poster I won't complain. Much.
I assume the guidebook will have an awesome poster.
Zelda does look pale, but it only looks like a choice of colour. And if it did have something to do with the plot, maybe… She meets Link on various occasions, but without actually being there. Maybe her body stays in the castle.
Ghost trains? Plot hints already? (Should I click or should I wait…)
I'll keep on speculating, and try keeping it this way until I play the game.
October 28th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Sorry to double-post.
I forgot to add that it -is- true no one should ride a train like that. Either to be taken symbolically or it truly is Zelda's projection/hologram/spirit/helpmeobiwankenobiyouremyonlyhope riding along.
*Sits her down somewhere safe*
Would be cool to take her from one place to another. ..With whatever Link has loaded in that train. Or rather whoever else: it's a passenger train.
*walks away, talking to self*
October 28th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
''who are you going to save???''
…Termina XD
And here's a bigger picture to analyse it better. The car of coal is still there and the white thing behind does look like ice.

October 28th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
So there is gonna be lots of Princess Zelda?
October 28th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
That be some mighty fine Box Art right there.
October 28th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
Mwahaha! I'm going to print this with my photo printer and use it to cover the US boxart.
October 28th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Aw man! THEY got the better box art than the US! :'(
October 28th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Clock tower? Oh shit, this could prove my theory if this game is in Hyrule.
October 28th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Don't we always?
October 28th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
and in my opinon THAT is rather rare
October 28th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
…Holy no-spaces!
*starts rambling too*
October 28th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
I love the box art =O
October 28th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
Their's is quite lovely! <3 If our's is plain, then their's has lace.
October 29th, 2009 at 12:54 am
Wow! That's a awesome box art!! I saw a bigger picture, and the background looks suspiciously similiar to Termina… Everything remainds me of Snowhead, The Swamp… Yay!
Well.. I might be wrong, though…=(
October 29th, 2009 at 1:02 am
Looks awesome! Great for Europe.
I live here in the US and I could hoenstly care less, I threw the box out after I open it (unless its like Metroid trilogy box).
But its great for europeans who hold onto the box!
October 29th, 2009 at 2:05 am
I guess I'm the only one here who hates the box-art. It looks way too kiddie. The American box art isn't the best, but the design is parallel to Phantom Hourglass's, re-inforcing it as a continuation in the series. It's also simpler and sleeker, imo.
October 29th, 2009 at 2:25 am
YES FINALLY I CANNOT WAIT TO PLAY THIS GAME IT LOOKS FREAKING AWSOME! Not as good as Ocarina of Time of course nuthins beta then OoT!
Im not a big fan of cartoony Zelda but it looks like a great game, AWSOME!
October 29th, 2009 at 2:28 am
It looks lovely, ok im done freakin out, i hope there isint gonna be THAT much of Zelda i wouldnt be used to it it would be to much of a change for me. there was barely anyhting of zelda in phantom hourglass, it really wasnt a lot about her it was more about the ocean and how they save somethin and well there is a lil bit aobut her jsut the plot is not as much about her as the others…..
October 29th, 2009 at 2:29 am
we will have to wait and find out at least i will man i cannont wait to play this freaking game
October 29th, 2009 at 2:30 am
ha ha, ur right of course though they do have everyhting
October 29th, 2009 at 2:31 am
i love ur name
October 29th, 2009 at 2:32 am
Ur name is the best u kno that? Buisness Shrub thats so cool its so random
October 29th, 2009 at 2:33 am
Thanks. It's the Japanese name of A Link to the Past
October 29th, 2009 at 4:22 am
it…. it IS!? Japan actually gets the word Triforce in the freakin TITLE of a Zelda game!? WHY DOES AMERICA SUCK SO MUCH!?
speaking of which, I've been theorizing that the new Zelda wii game will somehow mention the Master sword in the title. any thoughts?
October 29th, 2009 at 10:33 am
Actually Navi is a pretty cool name too, I just had to chooce a random name, so I remembered the nice shrubs in MM, you got land title deeds and all sorts of stuff or info from them.
October 29th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
First they get the Limited Edition, and NOW they get the Legendary Boxart!?
We get the bland art and no Limited Edition. This is HORRIBLE!
October 30th, 2009 at 5:20 am
why did the logo change? their box art does look lovely – far better than ours – but the logo itself is not nearly as cool.
October 30th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Ya this box art is way better than the american box art they have a train on that box… a TRAIN!
November 2nd, 2009 at 8:08 pm
zelda lokks very colourless
