About The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass:
- Many months have passed since the events of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and Link, Tetra and Tetra’s band of pirates have set sail to seek out new lands. They come across a patch of ocean covered in a dense fog, in which they find out a deserted ship. Tetra falls into danger when she explores the ship alone, and Link falls into the ocean when he tries to save her. When he washes up unconscious on the shores of a mysterious island, he is awakened by the sound of a fairy’s voice. With the help of this fairy, he sets off to find Tetra and his way back to the seas he once knew.
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is yet in the fine-tuning and polishing stages of development, according to Aonuma. The Nintendo DS will release initially in Japan in the holiday season of 2007. After that, it will hit other territories.
