The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (ゼルダの伝説　大地の汽笛 Zeruda no Densetsu Daichi no Kiteki,? lit. "The Legend of Zelda: (Train) Whistle of the Earth" ..) is the second installment of Zelda games for the Nintendo DS, revealed by Satoru Iwata in Game Developer's Conference on March 25, 2009. It uses the same cel-shaded layout and game-play interface as Phantom Hourglass. The opening scene of the trailer features Link conducting a train, which takes place of the boat in Phantom Hourglass, most likely coinciding with the name of the game (Spirit Tracks).

There has been some debate over whether the game would work only on the DSi or on all Nintendo DS iterations. However Nintendo.com has confirmed that Spirit Tracks will be playable on all installments of the Nintendo DS, including the original DS and the DS Lite.^[1] However, Nintendo has also revealed new types of DS cartridges, including the "DSi Enhanced Cards", which are playable on all DS systems, but will unlock more content if played on a DSi.^[2] It is possible that Spirit Tracks may be a DSi Enhanced Card, though there is no official word on this as of yet.
