like never before, Zelda's spirit can take control of hulking
suits of armor known as Phantoms, allowing the player to direct
both Link and these new allies as they battle enemies, solve
puzzles and uncover secrets. Zelda also rides alongside Link on
his customizable train, offering wisdom that will help players

Propulsion and Problem-solving
One of the most prominent features of The Legend of Zelda:
Spirit Tracks is the ability to travel by rail throughout the
game. When Link conducts the train, players enjoy a satisfying
combination of action and real-time puzzle solving as they
determine which track to take and how to best manipulate their
speed. When on the train, Link must plot the best route to the
end of the line around ever-moving obstacles. While en route,
Link might need to fire an onboard cannon at enemies who attack
the train or sound the whistle to e animals off the tracks.
New adventure, a new means of transport, and a new companion.

. The Phantom
In The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Link has a valuable new
companion in combat and puzzle-solving, the Phantom. A faceless
knight in a hulking suit of armor with immunities to dangerous
elements like fire and magma, the Phantom responds to Link's
directional commands. Players can simply tap the Phantom with
their stylus to take command of him, then draw a line on the
touch screen to direct him where to go. He will engage enemies
automatically when he comes within range of them. The stout
Phantom can also be used as a platform to carry Link above and
over dangers, or even run interference to block Link from harm or
help finish off an enemy.
New In-game Items
Spirit Tracks also introduces a variety of new items and weapons
to The Legend of Zelda franchise. One of the most notable is the
Whirlwind, which Link uses to move items and overturn enemies.
Players activate this by blowing into the microphone of the
Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi system. Other new items include a
whip, useful both in combat and in platforming, as well as his
train's cannon, which can shoot bombs into the distance.
Functionality
As with The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, in Spirit Tracks
players can look forward to helpful interactive
functionality. The game appears on the system's top screen,
as sed to the action on the bottom, and players can draw
notes on the in-game s using the stylus on the touch screen.
This allows players to quickly mark spots in the game world of
note for later exploration, or to note them as already explored.
