In-Depth Preview for 'The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks'

1UP.com's Jeremy Parish had the enviable privilege of playing through the first hour of Nintendo's upcoming adventure, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. He describes the experience in detail and outlines how Spirit Tracks builds on the stylus-driven controls introduced in the previous Nintendo DS Zelda game, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.

As it happens, Princess Zelda will take an active role in the gameplay this time around, which is bound to be more interesting for her than sitting around and shying away from a monster man-pig.

Read the preview and mark your calendars: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is coming to North America on December 7!
