Phantom Hourglass is an interesting mix of classic top down Zelda and the modern 3D Zelda games. I greatly enjoyed the touch screen combat, it has neither the rigidness of the 2D games nor the tedious locking and blocking of the 3D games. Most combat in Zelda games is kinda meh in my opinion, so a game that makes it fairly simple and quick is a plus for me. The early temples are a bit meh and I didn't find them all that memorable, but the temples with the Grappling Hook and Hammer are especially fantastic. The sidequests aren't all that compelling narratively (outside of Jolene's) but feel rewarding. I enjoy collecting the ship parts and trying to make a ship that looks great. There are enough diversions to make it feel like you aren't just blitzing through the story, but not so many that you are constantly sidetracked. It's no Ocarina of Time, but it's a thoroughly enjoyable Zelda game.
