The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
It's a new Zelda game for the Nintendo DS, which happens to be a sequel to Phantom Hourglass. Nintendo plans on releasing it later in the year, although it's too early for an exact date.

As the name implies, Link has now ditched the boat that allowed him to traverse the globe in Phantom Hourglass in favor of a train. In Phantom Hourglass, you were able to draw your course on a map and set sail in the open seas, but things look a little different now that you're restricted to rails. It appears as if the tracks are already laid out across this land and you are able to switch between routes on the fly.
Link has always had the ability to travel across the countryside as he wishes--either by walking, riding a horse, or setting sail. It will be interesting to see how things will change if he has to follow the preset tracks the whole time.
Apparently in this game, Link is a train conductor and uses train tracks (known as "Spirit Tracks") to travel around the land. I guess it's phantom hourglass basically, only with a train instead of a ship?
It follows the same style as phantom hourglass, and is also controlled completely with the stylus.
After watching the video, I don't know what to think of it yet. I usually try to give games the benefit of the doubt until they are released and I can play them.
What do you think?
