The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Hints VIII (DS)

The epic story of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker continues, as Link finds himself lost and alone in unknown seas in a new adventure. Featuring intuitive touch-screen controls and innovative puzzles, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass offers new challenges for fans of the series and an easy-to-grasp introduction for gamers new to The Legend of Zelda. But time grows short, and only the Phantom Hourglass can buy Link the minutes he'll need to survive.

The stylus makes controlling Link easier than ever. Tap on the screen to make Link move, or sweep the stylus around him to swing the sword. Players can even draw a path for his boomerang and send it flying into hard-to-reach targets. Compete with a friend over a local wireless connection, and guide Link through special dungeons to capture the Triforce, or command the forces that oppose him.

The Legend of Zelda series of games is one of the most popular franchises out there, with millions of fans across the world. At first a simple idea of Nintendo Chief Designer Shigeru Miyamoto, who became weary after creating Mario, these adventures of Link have captured the attention of all gamers out there.

HINTS

Slate

Use the following trick to get the slate from the frog king that allows you to fly to certain locations. The totems that you must hit are in this order: northeast, northwest, southwest, and west.

Cannon mini-game

When you enter the mini-game, the high score is 2,500 points. It is impossible to get, if you only hit blue targets, and it is the same if you only hit red targets. You must hit the red targets five times each to make 100 points. The only difficult part is that you will have less time to hit the blue target. If you miss one blue target, you should end up with 2,360 points. It does not matter, though, because you are still given a prize, which can be Green Rupee (1), Blue Rupee (5), Red Rupee (20), Big Green Rupee (100), Big Red Rupee (200), Ship Parts, Power Gem, Wisdom Gem, or a Courage Gem. A prize of your choice is awarded, if you get 2,500 points.
