    The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is probably best Zelda adventure since Wind Waker. Many may doubt it, but thanks to its many ingenious puzzles, melancholic music, and a sharp witty script, Spirit Tracks is a joy to play. Like The Phantom Hourglass before it, Spirit Tracks fuses the Wind Waker anime art-style with a flowing stylus control mechanism  - familiar to anyone who has played Nintendo's Animal Crossing: Wild World.

A well crafted tale and ability to ride the rails in your Spirit Train complete an excellent package.
