"Ultimately, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is a superb effort and pretty much what you would want from a first entry in the series on the DS."
--Alex Navarro, GameSpot
"Overall, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is an excellent Legend of Zelda game, and it really is a step-up from the uninspired Twilight Princess, which just felt like fan-service to Ocarina of Time fanboys."
--Alttp, Portable Review
"Playing through the game using the touch-screen proves to be much more rewarding than other third-person titles that stick to the tried-and-tested directional-pad control."
--Adam Riley, Cubed3
"It still holds true to the classic Zelda formula of ¡°go to temple, acquire item, get boss key, use newly acquired item to beat boss¡±, but it¡¯s an altogether fresher experience than Twilight Princess."
--Dan Ryckert, Lawrence
"The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass is a great-looking game, it uses the DS better than any other title I¡¯ve ever seen, and most importantly, it¡¯s fun to play."
--Tom Parker, Game Revolution
"Some diehard Zelda fans might find it too short or too easy, but regardless of the difficulty level, this is a game that truly belongs amongst the other high quality games in theZelda franchise."
--Elijah Edwards, All RPG
"Phantom Hourglass doesn't stop with just the touch screen; it makes use of every single DS feature."
--Jason Nimer, Gamers' Temple
"The creative minds at Nintendo have managed to take classic gameplay and infuse it with all of the Nintendo DS¡¯ unique capabilities to create an adventure for Link unlike any before."
--Matt Butrovich, Game Almighty
"Link's body moves very fluidly and the number of animations found in his body and face bring great depth to the character you play. The same can be said of every character in the game, overall."
--Ernie Rivera, Deeko
"Virtually every single aspect of DS functionality is explored... which makes for a highly refreshing, often-times surprising experience."
--Kelvin Tay, Thunderbolt Games
"The graphics are some of the best I've seen on the DS to date, some of the stylus specific stuff is nice (ship sailing and boomerang tossing, primarily) and the multiplayer is a blast."
--Brian Beck, Atomic Gamer
"The game is, in every way, the adventure of a lifetime."
--Matthew Castle, NGamer UK, GamesRadar
"Without spoiling it, there are things in here that are so outside the norm for a typical Zelda game that when you discover how they work, you¡¯ll end up wanting more of it."
--Giancario Varanini, GameTap
