Link receiving a new instrument in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
November 9th, 2009 Posted in DS, News, Written by ValayUpdate: Here’s a few more details from the folks over at ONM…
- Like pan pipes
- Summon special powers
- Select the notes by cycling through different colored pipes
- Have to find a guardian (Lokomo) before you enter each dungeon
- The Lokomos are the ones who will teach you songs
Link has played multiple instruments throughout his journeys such as the Ocarina of Time, Flute, and Wind Waker. But the Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks introduces a new one. Players will be required to use the Spirit Pipes in order to bring back the Spirit Tracks. The microphone are touch screen are used together, and as you would expect, you choose notes with the stylus and then blow into the microphone to actually play them. We’ll have more information on the Spirit Pipes in the coming weeks.
Thanks to Kay for the news tip!

I hope it’s kind of like Deku Link’s pipes in Majora’s Mask; but with DS funcionallity like it said… blowing into the microphone & using the touch screen!

Why would Nintendo force you to use the microphone for anything? I don’t want to blow on my ds. What if I’m playing in public, on the train or something. Why would I want to play a game that forces me to draw attention to myself. I might wait for the rom hack that lets me use buttons.

Are there such things? I wish I could take the motion/touch/blowing/voice controls out of everything.
