I started playing Spirit Tracks a few days ago on my Wii U. I like the music, the fact that it’s a direct sequel to Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass, and having a Zelda that possessed shit with me instead of some generic fairy. Immediately became one of my favorite Zeldas (the character, not the game) I’ve met in the series. 
 

The game is one of the easiest Zeldas I’ve played so far (not sure how much more difficult it’s gonna get as I progress, but it’s far easier than some other games in the series that are complicated from the get-go) and the touch controls can take a while to get used to. Oh, and playing on the Wii U is more than a little annoying, as the gamepad is a tad heavy to hold in one hand and use the stylus with the other, and it’s difficult to try to watch what’s happening in both your gamepad and the TV in scenes that utilizes both of them. 
 

All in all, despite being really easy, everything else (minus the graphics) sort of make up for it. Particularly if you’ve played WW and PH you’ll recognize characters or mentions of characters that you’ve met in those games. 
 

So yeah, here’s my 13 years too late quick review of this game.
