Big Zelda fan, the wife picked it up for me, but she started playing first. I knew the stylus was used heavily in the game, but I was unaware that it was used for the ENTIRE game with no option to use the D-pad for standard movements. This at first turned me off before I even played it, as I haven't found a DS game that made excellent use of the stylus for movements and just a general decent control scheme.

Well Phantom Hourglass changed that. I find the controls are very fun, all the fun things you can do with some of your items you acquire makes the game very enjoyable. The boss battles so far have been great, and it's a fresh change to the standard Zelda scheme, but still remains true to its roots. Definitely a worthy purchase and should be on everyone's Christmas list who has enjoyed Zelda games in the past.
