The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

Mm-hmm.

Uh, Spirit Tracks.

Maybe some people remember that It's kind of, you know, it's kind of a lower tier Zelda game.

Yeah.

What, uh, so within the Zelda series, um, Can you point towards one or two games in particular which you've been able to find kind of the most creative inspiration in? Because like I know me personally, you know, I've kind of dipped a toe into all of them, right? Or at least most of them.

I have not taken a stab at Phantom Hourglass or Spirit Tracks.

Um, but, uh, well, actually that's not true.

Cause we did the, cause I did the trading cards anyway.

How do you feel generally about the move to full 3D animation in the top-down games? Do you think it's worked better in some instances than others? And if that's the case, when has it looked best and when have you kind of responded more negatively to it?

I think it certainly worked best in A Link Between Worlds.

I do not particularly like it in Phantom Hourglass or Spirit Tracks.

I'm going to join the animosity towards those games.

uh

spirit tracks and phantom hourglass i own both of them on cart and i haven't played them i told you right that i went to a um an estate sale and i they had a copy of uh phantom hourglass or spirit tracks there yes um and they were selling it for a hundred bucks that's obscene and i was like what what are you doing like yeah maybe that's what you would sell it for at like To a collector or something.

You're an estate sale.

Yes.

the stylus.

I am very critical of how Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks rely solely on the stylus.

I really like the way that this game...

I guess this is just the overall controls, but you can still use the control stick to actually walk, but you use your stylus to interact with things and tap when you're in battle.

It's of the times.

That makes sense.

If I were to improve this game and Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, I would kind of mold the concepts together of being able to move with the control stick and use the stylus when needed to interact with things, but also upgrade the menuing to be a bit more modern.

Right, right, right.

I feel like it would be like a cute nod if like if she has a similar move set like her down B would just have a rod in her hand and then she like points forward as the night goes forward because the Phantom isn't really related to any of Zelda iterations that we have here.

That's from Spirit Tracks, which is also like another nod and reference for that character.

But I think it'd be cool if, like, if you use the standard B button.

I think of Sora, where you press the button, and it's a different attack each time, and it cycles through them.
