The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Visit the Wii U game profile for more NWR coverage.
The first 3D Zelda game for a handheld system features cel-shaded graphics and takes places many months after The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. The game is played on the bottom screen with some touch input features, while the top screen displays maps and other information.
A two player mode lets two players compete. One player guides Link through a special dungeon while the other controls Link's enemies.
