I hated Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks shares almost all of it's same flaws and annoyances. It's just a slightly more polished piece of stool. Just like Phantom Hourglass, the amount of annoyance and frustration I felt far out weighed the amount of enjoyment I got from this game. The Spirit Tower is in some ways worse than the Temple of the Ocean King because the later floors are huge and very intensive. And the stupid flute, I'm not trying to give myself a headache or get spit all over my 3DS. It's like they decided to force themselves to use all these features on the DS regardless of whether it enhances the game or not. This game was just a slog to get through, don't play it unless you're doing it for completions sake.

Had to rate this game very poorly because it frustrated me way more than anything. The touch controls were a terrible idea to begin with and often didn't work the way they were intended. Some of the items and puzzles using the touch screen were interesting ideas but they ultimately weren't worth it. Should have gone with a more straight forward Zelda title. Sailing was not relaxing, just annoying because you needed to watch out for enemies and random crap to jump over. I suppose they did it to make sailing more interesting, but moving the camera with the touch controls are atrocious so it had the opposite effect. The Temple of the Ocean King also made me miserable up until the 6th and final visit, what were they thinking? They were obviously just padding out the playtime with repetitive and tedious nonsense. A shorter and sweeter game would have been more welcomed. Just poor design all around, mistakes and ridiculous choices a student in a community college game design course wouldn't make. Apparently Nintendo agrees with me because they haven't let Daiki Iwamoto direct another new project, he's stuck directing remasters. In other words, games that have already been made so he can't possibly mess it up. He probably only got to where he was because he's been at the company so long.
