The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - Image 1 


We featured The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass' outing at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) a few days back. The focus was the multiplayer mode, which was then via DS to DS wireless linkup. Game Informer has reported that this title will be the first in the Zelda series to sport online play.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass has a multiplayer mode where two players can play either Link (to collect Triforce pieces) or evil overlord of the three baddies (of course, to thwart little Link). Eiji Aonuma confirmed that this will also be compatible with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. Better late than never, eh? The franchise is two decades old - though considering technological advances through the years, it's perfectly fine (or at least for this writer).

Can't wait to join our green capped friend in another adventure? The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is still set for a Q4 release. So patience.

A) Who the feck says hes colecting Triforces? Those bjects are FORCE GEMS, lets all say it together... FORCE GEMS. Go play 4 swrods adventures if you don't believe me. >_> B) That multiplayer looks jank anyway. What we really want online is 4 swords. Not some crappy mini game.

I agree

I agree, it's Force Gems. This game was created by the same people who made the FSA game plus PH was originally going to be a FS game until they revamped it. So it's pretty easy to say that some attributes from the previous game was put into this one. Plus for all those timeline lovers, it would seem that PH comes right behind the FS Saga.
