About The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is the second Zelda game for the Nintendo DS. The art direction is still cel-shading, but the game have notable changes from Phantom Hourglass with more puzzles and a new mode of transportation by train. You have to draw your route to the next area on the map and then let the train run its course. While the train is moving, caution will be needed to avoid obstacles, animals and enemies on the tracks. In certain dungeons, both Link and Zelda will be playable as they will need to work together to solve puzzles.

ELO progression

Score moved from 1,500 to 1,561 ELO points over the last 170 days.

    Encore un Zelda porté par la nostalgie de la série plutôt que par ses propres qualités, le tracé de route est vite répétitif et les donjons manquent d'idées neuves comparés aux autres épisodes DS.

    el tren es lo que más recuerdo, pero también lo que más limita, no puedes explorar como en otros Zelda y eso se nota con el tiempo

    anyone else vote based on nostalgia alone in these duels

    Répétitif ou pas, il tient largement sa place à ce rang.

    El puzzle del mapa sí envejeció bien, eso hay que reconocerlo

    Franchement il n'a pas la finesse d'un Hollow Knight côté level design, mais l'ambiance ferroviaire lui donne un truc que personne d'autre n'a tenté, je vote pour lui à chaque fois qu'on me le propose face à des trucs plus modernes, qui d'autre assume ce parti pris ici ?

  4. Élodie_44

    Le mode transport en train a du charme au début, mais ça casse un peu le rythme d'exploration, ptet un poil trop guidé pour moi
