Is it ironic that I think Twilight Princess held your hand through the whole game and was worse for having done it? Seriously, if you read all the text I don't see how you wouldn't know where to go. For the first half of the game you can only go where you're supposed to go. If Phantom Hourglass is your favourite Zelda game, you don't like Zelda games, that's for sure.
"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy
