The Legend Of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

I must admit that the first time I saw someone playing a Legend Of Zelda video game, then played it myself, I was taken in.

Taken in by the fun game play, collecting rupees, exploring dungeon after dungeon, defeating the villains or boss monsters, rescuing in game characters and ultimately, Princess Zelda, herself.

One Legend Of Zelda game after another, it never got old or boring. There were times that I did get tired of going to the Temple Of The Ocean King in LOZ, Phantom Hourglass though.

But not even that discouraged me from wanting to press on and finish the game that is now high on my list of the Legend Of Zelda video games.

And by the time it was all over, I got used to travelling with Link on that ship. I wanted more. I wished there was perhaps one more dungeon to explore or more treasures to find with the crane.

My suspense is probably about to come to an end. For when I first heard of another Legend Of Zelda game for the Nintendo DS, I was so surprised I took to doing a little research.

And yes, there is another Legend Of Zelda video game coming out for the Nintendo DS. This one, as many of you LOZ fans already know of, is titled: Legend Of Zelda Spirit Tracks.

Although it sort of picks up from where Phantom Hourglass ended, this time Link is on dry land and is travelling around on a train.

He is not alone though. Remember the Phantoms from Temple Of The Ocean King? One of them is with Link in a more, shall we say, helpful capacity.

From what I can deduce, so far, he, the Phantom, helps Link solve puzzles and so on. For example, the Phantom might stand on one switch while Link is on another which triggers a locked door to open etc.

I can hardly wait to play LOZ Spirit Tracks which is due out in December 2009 or later this year.

It will certainly be a different departure from seeing Link washed up on shore or traversing the LOZ video game world by ship.

Or maybe there´s just something about trains that sounds kind of adventurous.
