Daily Debate: Do You Like the DS Zelda Titles’ Stylus Controls?
Posted on February 11 2017 by Andy Spiteri
A sure-fire way to stir the pot in the Zelda Informer kitchen is to bring up the Nintendo DS entries in the The Legend of Zelda series. Both Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks were fun, quality Zelda titles that sold well and received acclaim in their own right, but both of them also attract a lot of criticism for how they play.
On one hand, you’ll find some is us at Zelda Informer who absolutely love both titles, and swear by how the stylus controlled Link as making it easier to move and to use items. On the other hand, you’ll find some of us that have a hard time balancing the DS and using the stylus at the same time, and long for a more traditional control set up.
So Zelda fans, where do you fall in on the argument? Do you love the stylus controls of the DS games or have you stayed away from the games for that very reason? Weigh in in the comments below!
