In addition to the train, Link will also have the Spirit Pipes to aid him in his journey.

Official Nintendo Magazine has unveiled a new instrument in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for the DS. Reminiscent of the Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker, Link will be using an instrument called the Spirit Pipes, which can be used to summon special powers.

Before visiting any temple, Link has to find guardians called Lokomos. They will teach Link a song that restores the tracks to the temple. The player will then have to listen to the metronome in order to keep the rhythm. In order to play the Spirit Pipes players will have to blow into the DS's microphone while tapping the touch screen.

The Legend of Zelda: The Spirit Tracks will be released on December 7 in North America, and December 11 in Europe.
