Spirit Tracks
Two years after the release of Phantom Hourglass, Sataru Iwata announced at the Game Developers Conference the production of the next Zelda Game. Spirit Tracks uses the same engine as the previous title, meaning it's also for the Nintendo DS, using the stylus pretty much exclusively throughout the game for movement, the use of items, as well as everything else. The story takes place one hundred years after it's predecessor, so there's some descendants and even some older, remaining characters from the previous title. Some items return in this installment as well, having had some improvements and being used for revamped and even more clever puzzles.

This time around, Link rides around in a steam powered train rather than the steamboat from Phantom Hourglass. Another mechanic returning to this game is the use of iron-clad warriors known as Phantom, which, this time around can be controlled by his companion, none other than Zelda herself! This new twist of gameplay allows you to control two characters at once to solve puzzles and fight enemies.
