A strange game this. By game standards its great, but by Zelda standards it's not so brilliant. This is a really good game in some respects, the characters have a lot of life, good graphics, innovative controls (on the most part), and just something nice because it's differnt. There are some really cool moments and clever ideas that could only have been pulled off on the DS, and so top marks Nintendo for that.

But although there are loads of good sides, it is not a perfect game by any means. Sometimes the touch control dosn't work that great because your hand gets in the way, and there are moments when it all seems a bit pointless. I think there should have been the option for a 'normal' control method.

Also the items... they really suck. If you have played many Zelda games before it's not much of a suprise when you get the bow, or the bombag for the millionth time. Would have been loads better if Nintendo were as original with the items as much as the other ideas.

You also find yourself in the Temple Of The Ocean King (a massive time limit based temple) way too often, in the end you dread going back to it and it really puts you off! This is supposed to be a fun game, not a chore!

And there isn't a huge amount off umph or depth too it (the handheld argument is stupid - Links Awakening had 10x the depth and that was monochrome!)

But if your new to Zelda or just cant get enough, then defiently give it a go, it's still good, just not great!

Also don't belive all the people who said they completed it in a day - no chance first run through!
