Nintendo announced that The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for the Nintendo DS will be released in North America on October 1st. This date marks the debut of the series on the Nintendo DS and you can play the entire game only using the touch screen. Link and Tetra, the leader of a band of pirates, discover a ghost ship in dense fog. Link falls into the ocean when Tetra gets into trouble and he wakes up alone on the shore of a mysterious island. Throughout the game, Link collects sand for his Phantom Hourglass, which allows him to explore deeper and deeper into a time-limited dungeon in his quest to find Tetra. The game also features a two-player battle mode where one player controls Link, while the other player controls the enemies who chase him.
