Battle matches consist of 3 rounds. In each round, players will alternate between playing as [[Link]] to playing as a trio of [[Phantom]]s. The clock is set for a round to last 60 seconds. However, Power ups exist to lengthen or shorten the time remaining. A round ends when Link is struck by a Phantom's sword. The final round is skipped if the player whose turn is to be Link has the highest score. If Link has the lesser score, the match will end if he gets a higher score.

Battle Mode,[1] also known as Multiplayer, is a recurring game mode in The Legend of Zelda series. The choice menu appears automatically from starting to play Phantom Hourglass. Battle Mode is played either in Tag Mode or Online Play. Online Play offers many choices concerning the opponent's skill level as well as the ability to play using Friend Codes. DS Download Play is also supported requiring only one gamepak and two DS systems. Results of a game played this way will not be saved.

Overview

Phantom Hourglass

PH Phantom Artwork

Battle matches consist of 3 rounds. In each round, players will alternate between playing as Link to playing as a trio of Phantoms in one of the eight maps available.[2] The clock is set for a round to last 60 seconds. However, power-ups exist to lengthen or shorten the time remaining. A round ends when Link is struck by a Phantom's sword. The final round is skipped if the player whose turn is to be Link has the highest score. If Link has the lesser score, the match will end if he gets a higher score.

While playing as Link, the player must turn as many Force Gems into his or her color as possible. Each player has a colored zone. Throwing a Force Gem onto the colored tiles changes its color.

While playing as Phantoms, block Link's paths to Force Gems.

In addition to colored zones, there are 'Safe Zones'. These are the same safe zones used in Adventure Mode. Phantoms can not see Link while he is in them. Throwing a colored Force Gem into a safe zone will change it back to Yellow.

  • Stats are assigned a letter grade and a point scale to each player. Stats also include records of Wins, Loses, and Ties.
  • At any time during a match, pressing X, Y, A, or B will send a Link emotion face to the other player. (Surprise, Happy, Angry)
  • Who gets to choose which of the eight Stages to play will be random.
  • After losing a match, a useful tip will appear on the status screen.
  • Link's manner face, next to the player name is an indication of how often a player drops out of battles. The more grim it is, the more the player drops out, most likely when a loss is imminent. Completing battles, the expression will become happier.
  • If Link scores many points he can move faster while holding a force gem. More points, more speed.

Stages

Force Gems

Phantoms cannot see Link while he is in a base or safe zone, but they can see the floating Force Gems. Only Link can move the force gems around. On the flip side; Link cannot see where any of the Phantoms are on the map unless a Force Gem is held up.

Color

The color of Force gems do not denote value. At the beginning of a battle, all Force Gems will be golden. Player 1 will have a red tunic and red safe zones. Player 2 will be assigned blue. Tossing a Force Gem into the blue safe zone will change its color to blue, regardless of its previous color.

It is helpful for players to take their opponent's Force Gem and throw them into their own safe zone to change it to their own color. Doing so will subtract points from their opponent's score to add to the player's.

Tossing Force Gems into safe zones will turn them gold again. This will subtract points from the player whose color was lost.
