 Best DS Game so far July 28, 2008
I've played through this game twice already, and keep getting amazed at the level of detail that Nintendo has put in the game. While hard-core fans might find the difficulty levels much lower than other Zelda games, the puzzles, the adventure, and the quests are still there. I loved it.
If you're looking for a perfect DS game, you've found it... July 28, 2008
I bought this game on a whim, i do not follow the Zelda series and the last time i touched a zelda game was for the NES and i was about 6 years old so i hardly remember that game even. But this game is down right awesome, just spectacular and should be in every DS owner's library. It uses full advantage of the stylus, the controls are easy to learn, the puzzles are fun and challenging (but not to the point of frustration), the graphics are good, and after almost finishing the game (I'm at the end boss now) i can say that i was fully satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it to any DS owner. I really wish there were more games like this for the DS because i'm learning that although the DS is a fantastic system, there are a TON of awful games for it and i have yet to find one as good as this... i can only hope that a sequel comes out... quickly!
GREAT GAME!
 Not as fun as I remember, but a solid game for newcomers July 24, 2008

I've played nearly every Zelda game since the beginning (when I was 6) and I love the genre. Over the years, and that's a lot of years, the fundamental formula has never gotten old for me. There were a few games that strayed from the mainstream Zelda theme, and they were not as good because of it, but overall Zelda has been a great franchise and an excellent series of games.
This iteration of the Zelda series in particular I have found to be uninspiring. While I admit I'm not far into the game, it's mainly because I'm so bored by the game that I can't commit the time to playing it. I never played windwaker and so the characters, style, and plot seems foreign to me. Also, where the heck is Zelda? The name Tetra doesn't mean anything to me, but I can guess there must be some relation. Still, so far I don't like any of the characters and the controls take some getting used to. Maneuvering through obstacles is not very intuitive (like zig zags of fire that make me stretch across each side of the screen) but managable.
As for my girlfriend just started playing video games and has never played Zelda before. She absolutely adores it, and even bought her own pink DS to play it on. I can see the appeal to girls or kids, but I find it difficult as a grown man to relate to this cutesy sprite protaganist and the other childish characters. It just bores me. The Wii game was better since it has a darker, grittier feel that I could get into.
If the buyer of this product is a kid, a girl, a kid-girl, is new to zelda games in general, or just really likes having adventures with little kids in green, I would highly recommend this product. Otherwise, I would recommend that you try some of the other Zelda games. As I said, the series is a timeless classic but this one game seems like an abherration.
I have only played Zelda Twilight Princess and Minish Cap and now ..this one. July 20, 2008
I love these zelda games. They are easy to get into even if you don't know the whole story line. I do plan to play the other ones though. This particular game is like a pirate-y action adventure role play game and it's tons of fun!!! The ds control scheme is pretty cool too. Also, for people who can never remember things and people to go back to, this version allows you to write on your map using the touch screen and stylus.
Great game...The Zelda Series continues its greatness July 19, 2008
The game is great. It is a perfect continuation of the GameCube game. If you are a fan of Zelda as much as I am, you will enjoy this game. The cartoonish graphics are the same as that of its predecessor on the GameCube. The game play is fun; the DS controls (touch screen) make it very enjoyable as well. This is a must have for DS owners.
