The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (ゼルダの伝説　大地の汽笛 Zeruda no Densetsu Daichi no Kiteki,? lit. "The Legend of Zelda: (Train) Whistle of the Earth" ..) is the second Zelda game for the Nintendo DS, revealed by Satoru Iwata in Game Developer's Conference on March 25, 2009. It uses the same cel-shaded layout and game-play interface as Phantom Hourglass. A train is the main method of transportation, replacing the steamboat of Phantom Hourglass. The game takes place about a century after the events of Phantom Hourglass.

Despite early rumors, the game is compatible on all installments of the Nintendo DS, and does not feature enhancements when played with the Nintendo DSi.

Plot
Following the events of Phantom Hourglass, Link, Tetra, and the other pirates come across a new land that is ruled over by an evil tyrant known as Malladus. They defeated the king, and sealed him away by chaining him to the four corners of the land, and renamed the land as Hyrule. Long after, the chains used to imprison Malladus became known as the Spirit Tracks, which are used for transportation by train. A hundred years later, in Hyrule Castle, Princess Zelda is seen handing Link a diploma to honor him as the Royal Engineer. At the same time however, Zelda also slips Link a personal message stating that she has been suspicious of Chancellor Cole. Link sneaks Zelda out of the castle and meets up with Alfonzo, his master who trained him into being a Royal Engineer. He helps Link and Zelda escape the castle and get on a train, when suddenly, the tracks disappear resulting the train to crash. Chancellor Cole then confronts the three: taking down Alfonzo, Link, and even Zelda. Chancellor Cole takes away her body, yet Zelda's spirit appears after Link reawakens in Hyrule Castle, where only Link can see her. Zelda's spirit helps Link throughout the game, as Cole wants to use Zelda's body to revive Malladus.
