Like the 2D games, excluding ''The Adventure of Link'', ''Phantom Hourglass'' features a top-down view. However, some sections of the game such as certain boss battles and the ocean feature a more traditional 3D view. The entire game can be controlled using just the Nintendo DS stylus, using it to tap or swipe on the screen to strike with Link's sword or use the six unique items found throughout the game. Because of the design of the controls, the entire game can be played with one hand. Additionally, the game also utilizes the Nintendo DS Microphone, which players can blow into or shout at in order to solve puzzles. Another interesting difference between ''Phantom Hourglass'' and most other games in the series is the absence of Heart Pieces.

Another difference between ''Phantom Hourglass'' and Zelda games from ''A Link to the Past'' onward is that there are no [[Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]], only complete [[Heart Container]]s.


The land is once again flooded in this title like ''The Wind Waker''. Unlike ''The Wind Waker'' however, the ocean map is split into 4 regions, and the player's ability to explore has been expanded by collecting [[Sea Chart]]s. This game mechanic continued in ''Spirit Tracks''. The Sea Chart and the regularly map can be written on using the stylus to make notes. The vast ocean can be explored using Linebeck's steam ship which players can plot a route for by drawing on the Sea Chart.
