Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Just in case you want to gawp at The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks some more, we have a new commercial for you, fresh from the United Kingdom. It shows off a bit more footage, so if you're really excited for the game, this will be great for you. You're going to have be unbelievably excited though.

The guy doing the narration for these ads sounds like Sean Pertwee, but not enough like Sean Pertwee to actually be Sean Pertwee. In essence, that last sentence was completely meaningless. It's the fact that it's the holidays. That's what's forcing me to download poor quality Zelda commercials that nobody wants to watch so I can fail in multiple attempts to upload it to Viddler and give up and use the Youtube version and then struggle to write two paragraphs of content to accompany it.

Oh wait, we're past two paragraphs now. Awesome.

For a few seconds there I was convinced that the narrator sounded like British Snake.

Agreed. Forced stylus control was wank.

I'm a HUGE Zelda nut, but I agree that Phantom Hourglass was awful. Especially the sailing mechanic--just horrid.

Wont be getting this for a long time.

I quite honestly dont see the problem people have against the stylus controls in PH... Sure it's almost impossible to roll, but when did you ever need to do that? The fact that they've removed Ocean Temple is enough for me too look forward to this game! A review also said that this game has the best story since Majora's Mask.

I loved PH's controls, and rolling wasn't hard.

Maybe because I'm left handed...?

Cheesy commercial is kind of silly, but I still can't wait for Spirit Tracks. I can understand why some people didn't like Phourglass, but I don't get the hate towards PH's controls, I thought they were fine.

How was the sailing mechanic horrid, you drew a line and went were you wanted to go? No faffing around with wind or sails.

Also was that train underwater?

HAHA! A ghost train.

We'll see soon enough if Ghost train > Ghost ship.
