Trains are great. Zelda and Link are really cute in this one. Though it still has the same issues as Phantom Hourglass, the story and gameplay was much more compelling, or at least memorable, than PH. Chugging along the tracks, with a banger theme, from point to point and unlocking mysteries at each waypoint was fun. The whole ending section in the Dark Realm felt very high stakes with the demon trains chasing you, and being able to control Zelda through her spirit armor is the some of the closest we'll get to having Zelda be a playable character.

But seriously, bring back train conductor Link, what a fun outfit.
