I think ST looks wierd. but it could be fun. i mean, im the guy who always wants the heros to die in epic ways, i dont think it looks all that epic the way she dies! i do like the idea of Zelda following you around and taking over your enemies bodies! *sigh* i dont no wat 2 think…

Except the CD-i crud.
The only thing CD-i Link is good for is YTP

What the heck is wrong with you? As far as i can tell Jason is the lead webmaster (I am probably wrong though) and if he wants to post his opinion he has every right. Besides, What is the point of a site like this (Famous for its Forums) if no one can give their opinions? Its not like we pay every time they post something, and personally I am always glad to hear what others think of a game. What i do NOT want to hear is bitter hags like you share your negativity when everyone else is so happy to hear what he's saying. If you hate Fansites so much, do us all a favor and stay off of them.

So true. The music really was terrible. Also, i have no Idea why everyone allways seemed to hate WW sailing. I thought it was fun.

I hope Zelda is not tagging along the entire time or at leas if she must, then she should not be annoying. I So do not want any more annoying sidekicks!

lol i also wasnt so sure bout it, but as soon as u guys started posting billions of things about ST, i went almost instantly to the store and preorder xD!! Also what made me change my mind greatly, is when idk when they said it would be much more difficult and a challenge for us zelda fans, cus PH wasnt much of a challenge… at all! i loved it, but too easy, so when they said that, i was like: ok, im going to buy that instantly., so i got my rupee wallet and went to the Deku market to buy it

I’m just glad there will be no bloody back tracking!! I hated that temple in PH!! It really put me off the game. Which is a shame as the rest of it was really good. At least Nintendo listening there (for once).

I was skeptical about Spirit Tracks too. I didn't like the train idea (at all) at first, but after seeing the new trailer, I've changed my mind and will sure buy the game.

It will be identical gameplay. The only thing THAT attractive is the story. Which is still typical "save the princess, who is Navi now, so we aren't really giving you much intention to that AHAHAHA".

It annoyed me how when people first saw the early trailers for ST, most of thoes people just assumed it would be bad. I mean, I can understand the shock they may have felt since Link was seen riding a train, but still this is The Legend of Zelda we're talking about here! As Zelda fans, we have the duty of appreciating ALL Zelda games just because they exist. None of ya'll actually played the game in the first place, it's all stupid prejudgment. But now since you got all these trailers and storyline leaks, people are starting to see the light. Where was the trust in Miyamoto from the beginning? PH might have not been at the top of the list, (especailly since the soundtrack and repeating the Temple of the Ocean King got on my nerves. >.<) but we all learn from our mistacks. I'm sure Miyamoto saw the error of PH's ways and worked to improve them. Thus, a better 2nd DS Zelda title.

And no, I ain't noob at Zelda. Been playing it all my life and very much grown now.
Spirit Trax I've never doubted you! =D <3

And you thought your opinion was worth enough to be plastered on the home page of the website? Right…

This is why I hate fansites…

well… I didn't like Phantom Hourglass due to it's non-memorable characters, and I completely hate being restricted to only using the touch screen, I like using the D-Pad. But ST looks alot better, I'm just hoping they'll put in an option to use the D-Pad…

Zelda was, is and will always be epic and Spirit Tracks as its predecessors will be so I'm convinced of it.

It look like the Ds Zeldas are gonna be more and more into the future. In the Phantom Hourglass their was steam boats which was a bit of advancment it Tech now 100 years later the steam train has come! whats next steam planes with floating islands. Then Steam Spaceships where you sail the solar wind to other planets!?!?

I'm not saying that I just thought technology is going fast in the Zelda world its that the Orcina of Time Adult storyline is goin further into the future than the Child strotyline whixh only has the Twilight Princess which is all I know of………………

You hit a lot of good points Jason. ST is definitely going to be a better game. Especially for me, seeing as I really likedf PH.

i have to be honest
at first i was skeptical about ST
now i feel a little better but am not fully convinced
i have confidence itll be good but im not going to go saying itll be incredible until ive played it.

My issues with Phantom Hourglass are not that it was a bad game or too easy… the game had awesome dungeons. I loved the dungeons… there was something nostalgic and wonderful about them.

My issues were in two areas… the first the music. The soundtrack was horrendous… during the entire game there are only 5 songs I can really say I remember hearing. The game had the town theme, ocean theme (a variation of the Wind Waker ocean theme to boot) , the overworld theme, cave theme and dungeon theme. That's it through out the entire game… and overworld, cave and dungeon themes were were actually all very similar and didn't create much of an atmosphere. Sure the music for the final battles were pretty good, but you only hear them in one instance basically.

Spirit Tracks seems to have fixed this. My second complaint was actually in the re-hashed ocean travel. I sadly didn't not enjoy exploring the ocean of PH as much as I enjoyed exploring the ocean of WW. The steam boat was stiff and the enemies you encounter are so bland I never found myself excited. It was not as much fun as surfing the huge ocean in Wind Waker.

The train though it follows the same concept as the boat travel at least is more unique and feels more natural to expect. So my two biggest complaints with PH have been fixed. I had no problem with the Ocean King Temple, I didn't mind going back in to explore it repeatedly (except to hear the bland music). With these pieces of news my mind is now at ease.
