Phantom Hourglass is the direct sequel to LoZ Windwaker, which if you didnt already know, revolves around sailing everywhere cause Hyrule is underwater. It can be a bit tedious at first(the sailing I mean) but they have a nice way of mixing it up every once in a while with random pirate ship attacks(just like the stage in brawl) And overall the stylus based way of both moving and attacking isnt nearly as boring as it seems. I think they balanced it out very well and the learning curve for it all takes like... 10 - 15 minutes to get use to. Well thats my opinion anyway... though its replay value isnt nearly as high as previous zelda games
