Behold, courtesy ofJeux-France,delicious TV spots for Nintendo’s DS chapter in the venerableLegend of Zeldaseries,The Phantom Hourglass.Both the above video and the one contained after the jump show off the stylus controls that bring classicZeldaactions – such as the spin slash and boomerang throw – to life.
While the sole use of the stylus is interesting, I remain quietly apprehensive about it working in practice. Tapping the screen to make yourAnimal Crossingcharacter move around, for example, was more an inconvenience than anything else, but if any title’s going to get it right, it’ll be one of Nintendo’s most treasured franchises. Hit the jump for the second video. HYUP! HYUP! HYARR!
