The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is an upcoming installment in The Legend of Zelda series, in development for the Nintendo DS. Details about the game were revealed by Satoru Iwata at the 2009 Game Developers Conference. It is scheduled for release in late 2009.

The basic premise of the game is travel by railroad; in the promotional video clip, Link is shown riding a cannon-mounted train through various lands. Link is also seen controlling a sidekick character clad in armor in the trailer. What role in the gameplay and story this new character has is yet to be fully revealed.

Gameplay
The game's graphical style is similar to that of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, as is the gameplay; the top screen is used as a map screen, and the touch screen serves as the action screen.
