This is an excerpt from the Siliconera Impressions relating the Nintendo DS game Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

With a sword in hand Link is ready to take on the first cave and switch pulling puzzle. There are four switches and Link needs to pull them in order. Clues are written on four rock slabs, but you need to be able to read Japanese to figure out the correct order. If you put in the wrong order worms fall from the sky and attack Link. This isn’t the only puzzle that requires reading Japanese to solve and it looks like the Phantom Hourglass is not going to be an import friendly game.

Thus far it’s been enjoyable and the graphics are brilliant. I also like how the Phantom Hourglass is lighthearted and peppered with humor in contrast to the Twilight Princess. More impressions are coming once I get through a few dungeons.
