Following our earlier footage from The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass, we bring you the above trailer for the Japanese incarnation of a title whose name I continually mispronounce as Scooby Doo and the Case of the Phantom Hookshot. As it turns out, the mysterious hookshot is actually Old Man Witherspoon, and according to his sworn statement, he would have gotten away with it if it weren't for that stupid sprite screaming "Hey! Listen!" every five minutes.

Roo rant.

Am I to understand that you get to play as that scary knight-thing? Also, controlling the boomerang with the stylus looks like fun.

Multi-player mode looks like it will be a blast although I hope there are more modes then what they showed. I'll have to get this when it comes out.

The graphics on it look pretty good, tho the control scheme really puts me off :(

@ Aex, I'm a bit concerned about the control scheme too, but I'm willing to try it. First I need to finish Twilight Princess though...

This is how multiplayer Zelda should be. A completely separate mode.

Am I the only one here praying that "normal" controls will be available for this game? I absolutely hate that stylus control scheme. I already get enough hand cramps from using my wacom, thankyouverymuch.

Seriously, if the only way I can play this game is by placing my DS on a desk and hovering my face over it, I won't be a happy cat.

@Deiga -- I'm guessing that it will be similar to FFIII. If you want to use the stylus, you can. If you want to use the Dpad, then go for it.

@ Deiga, Aex, Bhive and Orcist -

I'm relatively sure it won't. I mean, how exactly would you control the boomerang with the d-pad? Ala Okami, using it to draw onscreen? Doubt it. If nintendo does implement a standard control scheme, you're going to hate it, because it will require you to use the stylus for things like, oh, the boomerang, and you're going to have to switch back and forth. Part of the lure of this game is to get away from the standard control configuration. I particularly think that the stylus commands are going to be an awesome way to interact with this game. It's also fair to note that FFIII was a control pad game with touch screen functionality added, not a touch-screen game with d-pad functionality added. If you're not excited about the touch screen controls, you should probably just get something else instead, because if an alternative is provided, you're probably not going to like it much.

I seriously won't mind switching between the D-pad and the stylus; the lite has the stylus stored in such a convenient location, switching between the two would be a breeze... much easier than using the goddamn stylus for EVERY action in the game.

Not to mention the fact that my hand and stylus covering half the screen would seriously kill my appreciation for the graphiks.
