20 Best Nintendo DS Games Of All Time
18. The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
After a bunch of edgy teenagers complained about the art style of The Wind Waker because they wanted Zelda to be "cool" and "dark" instead of simply a good game, the more cartoony Zelda games had to go into hiding on Nintendo's handheld systems.
A direct sequel to The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass feels a lot like a portable version of that game. It has the sailing that The Wind Waker is known for, a lot of the same characters, and the same art style - although this is the DS so don’t get your hopes too high when it comes to its visuals.
The biggest problem with the game is the Temple of the Ocean King.
The Temple of the Ocean King is a dungeon where you have to constantly wait to avoid getting killed by immortal enemies, you have to do it quickly as you are timed, and you have to revisit the dungeon multiple times throughout the game.
Other than that this is a great Zelda game that instills the sense of adventure that the series is known for. It's one of the best DS games, just prepare yourself for the worst dungeon in the entire series.
