i have a physical copy of phantom hourglass and it's my second most played zelda game!!! i have 106 hours on it :) i'm pretty sure that this was my first mainline zelda (i have a bad memory... i don't remember what came first: phantom hourglass, zelda i, or battle quest)

as my childhood zelda i can confidently say that i LOVE this game. it was basically my ocarina of time lol

phantom hourglass is criminally underrated. its mechanics are incredible!!! ph has my absolute favorite zelda puzzle, the one where you have to close your ds. peak puzzle design :)

its controls can seem gimmicky at times, but they are actually super fun! phantom hourglass is zelda design at its peak. i personally found the temple of the ocean king super fun!

also it literally has a multiplayer mode!!!!! and it's so fun!!!

the characters are super fun and enjoyable! i love the story a lot and hold it close to my heart. also, no matter what anyone says, the soundtrack is AMAZING.

other pros include the ghost ship, linebeck, general silliness, linebeck, sailing, and linebeck. i would 1000% recommend for anyone who likes wind waker or spirit tracks

all in all. I LOVE THIS GAME!!! cradles it like a baby. phantom hourglass is very precious to me

A blue and pale red graphic that reads "The Little Legends introduces Phantom Hourglass" in yellow text outlined in red in the top right. The titular hourglass is behind the words. The top left red square reads "released on the DS June 23, 2007." Below it is "Following the events of Wind Waker, Tetra is kidnapped by a ghost ship. Link searches for her with the help of the old man Oshus, and Captain Linebeck." The right-hand side red square reads "Most beloved for Bellum, Linebeck." Behind the name "Bellum" is a linework drawing of tentacles with eyes, and below Linebeck an arrow points to the full-colour image of Linebeck and Link. Linebeck is dressed in blue and holds a green rupee while a fairy flies at his face, while Link is dressed in the classic green tunic.

Phantom Hourglass is a DS only game that may be hard to find in hard copy. Secondhand or emulator may be the easier solution to play it yourself. A written walkthrough is here at ZeldaDungeon.net. The video walkthrough I liked was this one but you can search for others with no commentary as well.

Reblog and add what you love about the game, things you would like to see, or other resources for those who would like to learn more about it! Here are some suggestions to get you started:
