Advantages: Epic, innovative, great sound, charming and rewarding

Disadvantages: Some puzzles can be a little perplexing, might feel a tad repetitious in the caves

Having played this fantastic game 4 times through now, I can honestly say it's the most charming handheld game you can get your hands on today. Innovative, challenging, and a true adventure.

Zelda games have always featured heavily in my collection and since Ocarina of Time, I knew that he was not a wee man to be messed with.

You'll find yourself gasping or screaming at the way in which you have to use the stylus, microphone or possible other means (one of which took me about an hour to figure out, how embarrasing). Some would argue that this is a childish game, but see through the cartoony graphics and allow yourself to take a trip with the gang on the high seas. It's a far superior game in terms of playability compared to many other DS games. It'll take you at least 15 hours to get through, and as always with Zelda's adventures you won't be left dissapointed by the end of it.

If you've never tried a Zelda game as you think they are too "fantasy-based" then take my advice and look through that, this is a game designed for everyone. Let's face it, the DS hasn't given us a great selection of adventure games, and this is one great adventure. The crowning glory of the capabilities of the DS console!

Summary: An entertaining adventure through the world of Zelda, an essential game in anyone's collection
