Along with its Holiday line-up for Wii and Nintendo DS, Nintendo has announced that Link's new DS adventure, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks will be released on December 7.
Nintendo also dropped the game's North American box art on our asses, which you can see in the gallery. It features Link, a train, and a big, menacing knight carrying a big, menacing sword.
Releasing anything in December, after most of the holiday shopping has been done, seems a bit risky. But this is Nintendo we're talking about, and I suppose the power the Zelda franchise has to drive people (and gift-buyers) to retail shouldn't be underestimated.

I got to play it at PAX, and it pretty much is just like Phantom Hourglass.
I probably won't be getting it on day one, I'm putting it on my Xmas list.
Gimme my Zelda, gimme my... *clap* *clap*
Today is a good day!
To many good titles this coming holiday season. But the industries won't learn that we want titles spread over the year.
CHUO~
Sadly most people, while aware of Pearl Harbor don't even know what day and sadly for some even the year it happened.
"Remember Pear- Oh! A Zelda game!"
Strictly speaking, the quality of the Pearl Harbor attack was quite high. It was the rest of the war that Japan ran into trouble with.
I'm looking forward to this game, controlling that huge knight dude looks fun. I'm not sure I'm going to like the train segments, but we'll see what happens. I trust the franchise, so I think it'll be okay.
Expect something...big...this november.
Umm, what? Have you worked retail Chesterino? Holiday shopping, especially for electronic goods, goes a good long while after Black Friday, and at really steady paces. Certainly not the level of black friday, but things are still busy.
I'd give one of, if not both of my testicles for a zelda on the WII. An actual WII version, not just a port. BUT NO WAGGLE DAMN IT. the motion controls suck. All we need is the pointer.
