"It was among the most heinous incidents in video game history," says Nintendo of Princess Zelda's first kidnap ordeal, explaining with the aid of a new Spirit Tracks trailer that "for the first time in [the series'] 23-year history... Princess Zelda is leaving the villainous clutches of the underworld behind and joining the adventure with Link."

Keen-eyed viewers might notice that Zelda's body appears to have once again been abducted and the poor dear is left a spirit haunting clanky old suits of armour and obeying Link's every command, but we suppose any progress is good progress.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks hits the DS in North America on December 7.

ok now the story and title are making a little bit more sense. I like the 'spirit' princess idea..still unsure of the train aspect... where in canon would this come? I mean this link is the link of wind waker and hourglass..both waterworld-esque areas..so is this hundreds of years in the future?

Fuck that. We need a GOOD zelda game to come out. How much more powerful is the Wii than the DS?

Nintendo has been promising us a zelda game made for the controls of the wii (1:1 sword control etc) since the release of the system, and I'm still waiting :(

I could swear I remember that when Twilight Princess came, they said we wouldn't see a real Zelda game for a while. I dunno. I wish they could ever top OoT, but I'm not sure they will. I really hope they do.

I haven't played Phantom Hourglass yet simply because I'm more prone to play PC or console games than handheld games while at home. But this looks pretty awesome. Is it a direct sequel to Phantom Hourglass, or can I pick it up before playing Phantom?
