[[Link]], a young boy in training to become an engineer under [[Alfonzo]], lives with [[Niko]] in [[Aboda Village]]. He travels to [[Hyrule Castle]] to receive his [[Engineer Certificate]] from [[Princess Zelda]], but during the ceremony, the princess disceetly hands him a letter, requesting him to read it alone. The letter reveals a passage into the castle, and she asks him to meet her that night. When he does, she asks him to help her sneak out of the castle so she can visit the [[Tower of Spirits]] and discover what's behind the missing [[Spirit Tracks]]. However, on the way there, the tracks disappear beneath them and they crash. [[Byrne]] and [[Chancellor Cole]] appear, and they kill Zelda and take her body. Link finds her spirit wandering around Hyrule Castle later, but he's the only one who could see her. The pair must then recover Zelda's body and defeat [[Malladus]]. | [[Link]], a young boy in training to become an engineer under [[Alfonzo]], lives with [[Niko]] in [[Aboda Village]].

The controls for yet another DS Zelda game are basically the same. Use the stylus to move, swipe to attack, tap to use a jump attack, make a circle to do a spin attack, and thrust forward to stab. Tap the Menu button to open the menu and the items list to select an item. Tap the items icon to use it and tap on the screen. Double-tap to roll; it just wouldn't be Zelda without it. | The controls for yet another DS Zelda game are basically the same.
