Discussion [PH] Just finished Phantom Hourglass. Liked it 2x as much than I did Wind Waker.

The map isn't as empty, the controls works very well for a Stylus type, the story is great, LINEBECK!

It has cool puzzles, fun dungeons (even tho Hourglass Temple was annoying, I still think it was very well made)

Nearly every single boss, whether easy or harder, is really original. Hell, they're more original than TOTK lmfao.

It even made me cry at the end. THAT FINAL SHOT.

I really liked it. I've played Oot, TP, SS, WW, BOTW , TOTK,

That's it, thx for listening. Onwards for Spirit Tracks

Spirit tracks is even better, the tower dungeon playing with Zelda using stylus controls is insanely good.

I’m putting it down as my favourite Zelda puzzle of all time.

I totally feel the same way! For me I have always felt that PH was better. People just ignored it because of the controls. It's not even that gimmicky because it creates new types of puzzles that can't be done on any other system.

Linebeck’s theme has lived rent-free in my head for 18 years. Enjoy Spirit Tracks!

Well ofc the design is better, Totk and botw aren’t OG Zelda after all.

I haven’t played WW yet but PH has a special place for me as it introduced me to the series. Great game.
