At the 2006 Game Developer’s Conference, fans saw the very first glimpse of what would become Link’s first quest on the Nintendo DS, ''Phantom Hourglass''. The trailer showed off a game that completely utilized the Nintendo DS touch screen, rather than the more standard use of the d-pad and the control buttons. A year later when the game was released, fans were able to get their hands on a Zelda title unlike anything they had played before.

The entire game could 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. The land is once again flooded in this title, meaning Link travels through the use of a steamboat equipped with a cannon to fend off foes, plotting courses across the waters using the stylus on the map, which you could also write notes on to solve puzzles or mark areas for clues or later secrets. Additionally, the game also utilized the Nintendo DS Microphone, which players could blow into or shout at in order to solve puzzles.

Also unique to this game is a timed dungeon that you slowly work your way through, unlocking more floors to it as you progress through the game, collecting items within it that you need in order to enter the next dungeon in the outside world. Eventually, the goal is to complete the timed dungeon and rescue Tetra.  

One day when sailing in the sea, [[Tetra]] and her gang of [[Tetra's Pirates|Pirates]] are on a search for the mystical [[Ghost Ship]]. According to Tetra, the Ghost Ship is ruled by obscure pirates who don't know any of the pirate rules. She expects to find them and teach them that there are rules to being a pirate. One of the pirates starts to talk about the "Protector of Waters" also known as the [[Ocean King]]. All of a sudden, their ship is engulfed in a mysterious fog. They come face to face with the [[Ghost Ship]]. Tetra hops over onto the Ship and then lightning strikes and she screams. [[Link]] jumps to save her, but misses and falls into the ocean. He drifted to an island, where he begins his quest to save Tetra.
