This is a game that gets a lot of undeserved hate from the Zelda fanbase and it's something that bugs me. When I played the DS titles in the series, I have to say I really enjoyed them and I felt like they were much, much better than what people make them out to be - but while Phantom Hourglass suffered from a couple of terrible flaws that kept holding the game back, Spirit Tracks was awesome and enjoyable throughout. The dungeons, items and bosses are on par with the already stellar ones it's predecessor had (and maybe even better in several ways), but the game also boasts an incredible soundtrack and a much more compelling world in New Hyrule, as well as a story you can truly care about and a fantastic beginning and ending. Spirit Tracks was truly special. |

I love Spirit Tracks! What really sets it apart, I think, is the role of Zelda. In the game, she is very much an equal partner to Link. And it's this partnership that makes Spirit Tracks such a special game, in terms of story and gameplay. I'd even go so far as to say that the version of Princess Zelda in Spirit Tracks is the best in the series.
