One of the most long awaited NDS titles since Mario Kart DS, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, has finally been given a date in the United States. Finally, the curtains of a release date have been brought back and we have been enlightened to find out that we will be "blessed" by Link's presence on our NDS on October 1st.  Appearing over in Japan just a week ago, Phantom Hourglass has already sold over 300,000 copies to loyal fans of the series.

Our legendary hero, Link, has seen countless battles on all Nintendo systems to date, first making his appearance on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987. He hasn't really aged at all, sometimes even losing a few pounds and years, but that doesn't make him any weaker. In the Phantom Hourglass, Link is on a quest to reunite himself with Tetra, the leader of a band of pirates who was lost in dense fog. Throughout your quest you will use the Nintendo DS's stylus to fully control Link and help him interact with objects, people and enemies alike. It's amazing what just a simple pen stroke could do.
