I am enjoying Phantom Hourglass immensely. I think this is the best Zelda game since Minish Cap. IMHO, PH surpasses all of the console Zelda games since Ocarina of Time. Can it tie with A Link to the Past? Considering that is my all-time favorite game, I doubt it. But, maybe. That I even consider that PH might be as good as ALttP is epic in and of itself.

I've noticed lots of complaints about the length of PH. It's only 15-20 hours. Jesus Christ, what a ridiculous statement. I'll gladly pay $50 for a brilliant but short game over a long, drawn-out game any day. For proof, see Beyond Good & Evil. A Link to the Past was not an extremely long game, but the player can choose to hunt down every heart container and bottle which will add time to the length. I prefer to follow the game's natural course and get the necessary items to get the job done. End of story. Games should be judged on quality and replayability not length. I definitely have put more than 100 hours into Capcom Vs. SNK 2 despite being able to finish single player mode in 30 minutes or less.
