Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass video

The British Gaming Blog has obtained a spectacular video trailer of the newly announced Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and we insist that you download and watch it immediately. The game seems to be a follow-up to Wind Waker, boasting colorful cel-shaded graphics and exploration of the open seas.

It looks like the action mostly takes place from a top-down perspective and incorporates plenty of touch screen activity. We're particularly amused by the ability to draw the trajectory of Link's boomerang and scribble notes on his crusty dungeon map. No word on a release date yet, but we think "now" would perfectly suffice.

[Thanks JohnathanEx!]

4. what's with that dungeon? Half walls? Couldn't Link just climb up on top and avoid the baddies?

7. Looks great. But only one gripe. Why can't the DS have some sort of texture filtering capability? If they're gonna do all these 3D games, why do we have to stair at pixely textures the whole time?

8. I can't wait to play this. I just hope that the sailing doesn't play a huge part, or at least not a long part. I like that section where Link charts his course on a sea map though.

Just gimme a date.
