Reports are rolling in that Link's latest adventure on the DS has been pushed back. Way back past the reaching arms of year 2006 and on into the future, almost certain to be an apocalyptic one, year 2007 is the date that is now when most are expecting to see The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass available on retail shelves, undoubtedly to be eagerly wrestled free from its noisy prison upon placement on said shelf to the quiet, almost romantic sanctity of your domicile. We're fairly sure you'll have some candles lit.This news stems from reports that the title was not present during the recent San Diego Comic-Con. When asked, the rep supposedly stated that their presence was to showcase DS titles available for 2006, implying once again that we would not see Phantom Hourglass until 2007. Stay glued to DS Fanboy for future updates as we await official word from Nintendo on this matter of great import.

1. This would make sense, even if the title is nearly complete. Nintendo said they like to space out their blockbusters and with big names like FF3, Mario 3V3 and Yoshi's Island 2 out this holiday, it probably would be better to save the title for an early next year release a la Metroid Prime Hunters.
Not too bad considering all the big titles due this year. What's the word on diddy kong racing?
