Phantom Hourglass: Early Gameplay!
I must say, I'm very impressed. From the small TV Spots I've seen thus far, I haven't been very enthused about the graphics, but they are much better than I initially gave them credit for. The cel shaded Wind Waker graphics work wonderfully, and the town and it's denizens look great. Personalities of faces are clearly defined, and I love the way the camera swings down when talking. Traveling looks easy and clear despite jaggy graphics, and battle is a nice middle ground between boring top down swing swing and the Zelda: Twilight Princess I've come to love on my Wii.
Most of all I like that chickens combine forces to attack Link after he harrasses them, not some weird new age crap where Link "becomes" the chicken. Chicken battle formations are way cooler.

O noez! The sword is in a box! The game is for me forever ruined!
Looks like a Zelda game to me. Looks like I'll play it.
(Wow, I tried to get chickens to kill me in LTTP and wound up slashing them for, like, ten minutes straight. Ever since then, the chickens have needed therapy. They tried freeing their minds once, but I see they have once against settled on violence)
Is it just me, or is link's movement controlled by the touch pad? It was an option in Animal Crossing, one which I hated, but I think it's the only way in this one.
You should have said :"Warning: This footage of Phantom Hourglass for the DS will make you literally salivate and begin psychotically counting down the days until the game's release date which now seems an eternity away."
