Story

Main article: Spirit Tracks Story

The events in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks are set a hundred years after those in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Link, the Hero of Winds, alongside Tetra and her pirates, successfully found a new continent ruled over by the Spirits of Good sealing away the Demon King Malladus with the use of the Spirit Tracks. They named this new continent after Hyrule; however, to distinguish between the old and the new Hyrule, this one is referred to as New Hyrule.

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 discreetly 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 later that day. 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 kidnapped Zelda and take her physical 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.

Gameplay

Gameplay involves Link defeating enemies, exploring New Hyrule using a train, and solving puzzles. First Link must create new tracks by defeating a level in the Tower of Spirits obtaining a section of the Rail Map. Then he must enter the sanctuary of the specific realm and play a duet with a Lokomo, creating the tracks necessary to enter the Temple of the specific realm. After defeating the Temple, Link must return to the Tower of Spirits to obtain yet another section of the Rail Map. He must defeat all five Temples and all six levels of the Tower of Spirits and then defeat Malladus to complete his epic adventure.

Controls

The controls for yet another DS Zelda game are basically the same as The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Use the stylus to move, tap 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.

Items

Here is a listing of all of the items found within The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.

Heart Containers

In Spirit Tracks you start off with three hearts and can collect five more via completing dungeons. Beside these, there are eight more you can collect.

  1. "Take 'em all on."
    For this one, you must beat level one of the "take 'em all on" minigame in Castle town. The woman will give you the container for completing it.
  2. "Rabbit Hunt."
    Catch five rabbits from over the world and return them to the guy at rabbit haven. He'll give you the heart container in return.
  3. "The inflation of sanctuaries."
    There is a shop in the snowfall sanctuary, which happens to be selling a heart container. Buy it for a whopping 2,000 rupees.
  4. "Swordsman's challenge."
    You can get this by playing the Swordsman's challenge minigame. You must get at least 60 hits for the heart container.
  5. "Whip race."
    Do the whip race minigame. Beat it in under 75 seconds for the heart container.
  6. "Pirate rescue."
    The pirate rescue minigame holds this heart container. After beating this minigame for the first time for the force gem, do it again so that there is a Goron you have to save. Beat it with at least 4,000 points for the heart container.
  7. "Golden Beedle."
    After spending at least 5,000 rupees at Beedle's Air Shop, you will have 500 points and will become a gold member. As a gift Beedle will give you a heart container.

    Beat all the three block puzzles at the ends of the earth station to find it in a golden treasure chest.
