it's sad to me this is the only game i wanted to watch him play so bad as a kid, and seeing him post this after the shit happening just makes me feel sad and guilty watching this.
it wasn’t the first zelda game i played but it was the first i owned… and i am currently on my yearly play through of the game … just finished the snow temple and its tower of spirits counterpart but alas, now i have to do adult things
My forever pick for most underrated Zelda title. I so badly wanted to be a train conductor as a young child, and deeply enjoyed the mechanics, and especially the side quests to this game. So fun seeing you complete it!
My favorite fictional train has to be my own train of thought. Noone knows if it truly exists, and only god knows where it's headed. Delays, derailments, and absolute train wrecks ahead, that's for sure!
My favorite small detail from this game: once you reach top cruising speed, the train's engine noises will align themselves with the overworld theme and become the percussion.
This game is special for me. It was the first Zelda game I ever finished, and I played it a lot growing up. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it overall. Also, while you are on the train for a majority of the game, at least you have one of the best overworld music tracks in gaming.
Honest to god the most underrated Zelda game ever, good story, pretty fun and funny, and Link and Zelda are so cute together! I have a lot of fond memories with this game. 💚
So... Do you like?.. Stuff? (Fair warning Don't use this as a pick up line on non Simpson fans unless your willing to back up what kind of "stuff") { ಠ_ಠ } *shudders*
It's a great Zelda game to play casually. I love this game when ever I need a nice relaxing game to just play some objectives with some relaxing music to jam to while driving the train from point A to B. It was the first time I actually connected with Zelda as a character, and I'm so glad they did her more justice in Breathe of the Wild after that. Just take this game at your own pace and don't do the rabbit catching or soldier training if you want to preserve your sanity.
I played Spirit Tracks like a year ago and really enjoyed seeing Link and Zelda travel together. I hope we get another Zelda game like that because it's such a great concept!
My favorite train from gaming has to be Spinne from Einhander! Such a great concept and design! And i love how it's teased in silhouette at the start of the level, plus it IS the level, and it's the level's boss fight.
I lived in Japan when Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks came out. Capsule machines in grocery stores sold full pen-size Zelda styluses that had a dangling shield that could be used to clean the screen. This made both games really fun and easy to play. These days, I use Twilight Menu+++ to play both games with the Circle Pad on my 3DS.
Out of all of the Zelda games this game seriously frustrated me having to use the touch screen for so much and is the only Zelda game I haven’t completed.
First ever Zelda game as a kid, will always be in my top 5 Zelda games. It might not hold up super well now, but it’s still fun to play through every now and then
I had this game back in the day, but It hit a softlock glitch. In one of the tower dungeons, theres some point where you open a chest and it gives you a key to unlock the next door. In my game it gave me a rupee. Was stuck on that level forever and finally looked up a guide and saw the chest that was giving me a rupee. I would've had to restart my save file, so I just didn't get back to the game sadly. But I still have the game so I can play it some time when I find the mood. Great game though, I do wanna finish it sometime.
My thoughts exactly! Just like WW and TP, they shouldn't be left behind on an old system! Plus there's plenty they could do with em. From revamping the visuals and controls to some QoL changes like maybe a warp at each section of the Temple of the Ocean King? (I actually think that temple is grossly overhated and very solid for what it was going for.) 😉
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596Mm, easy enough to imagine movement and sword swinging remapped to stick and button, and a remake allows for many things to be retooled for traditional controls.
Awesome review, can't wait to ride along the tracks with Link in this one. As for my favorite train, well I got 3 and 2 of them are transformers. Astro train from G1, Omega Supreme from Energon, and the Super Train Megazord from Light Speed rescue
I got halfway through Phantom Hourglass on the original hardware, partway through Spirit Tracks on Wii U virtual console. A Link Between Worlds on 3DS was such a great improvement for portable gaming in the series.
I actually loved the train transport quests and really hoped there was more of those. The main thing keeping me back from enjoying this game again is the flute ...
This is so funny bc your phantom hourglass review just showed up on my feed, I just got done through playing both of them and I was like he’s bound to have a spirit tracks one. One day ago, perfect! XD
I especially appreciate this game since it has a somewhat playable Zelda with somewhat unique gameplay. It's probably my favorite in the adult timeline and WW is second, given, only 3 games in that timeline.
In Phantom Hourglass, we are transported by ship. In Spirit Tracks, we are transported by trains. In Breath of the Wild, we are transported by glider. In Tears of the Kingdom, we are transported by whatever we can make.
I think I like the Rail Zeppelin in the Natsuverse. Put very simply it's a magical train where you can acquire very unique goods so long as your willing to buy/trade for them.
I just got access to this game! Looking forward to it. At some point. I probably have 20 games ahead of it in line at the moment…but it’s there for when it’s time!
I remember playing this game! I never was able to beat as I ALWAYS got stuck in the fire temple, since my ds mic didn't work well. Finally I get to see what happens
i love ST but i know it's not for everyone however i never called this link the hero of trains i've always thought of him as the hero of spirits. the lokomo, the phantoms, ZELDA. even the names of the tracks themselves are the spirit tracks. i always thought he was the hero of spirits. i'l have to see if the hyrule historia gives a definitive answer
it's sad to me this is the only game i wanted to watch him play so bad as a kid, and seeing him post this after the shit happening just makes me feel sad and guilty watching this.

Cause spirit tracks doesn’t get enough attention so people are probably more interested in the game than the person playing it

When I was playing this game on a 3DS during break time my coworker called it that train game.
I go back once a year and replay this. First Zelda game and will always hold a special place in my heart.
Fr it was my 1st game and it'll forever be my fav zelda game

Link and Guardian Zelda reminds me of Fullmetal Alchemist

gotta try this one out!

This Link is also known as
‘The hero of spirits’

this is single handedly my favorite zelda game. I know that is a hot take, but I will be watching this entire series.

I wish I could play this game again but hopefully one day, I’ll be able to do that!
I love this game.
Always a good day when there is a new Completionist vid!
Agreed, i wish he would go back to upping his production quality. I'm not sure why he slowed his frequency down and dropped his quality.
@@sharafmedo That sure is strange, it's almost like there's constant mention of a certain drama that happened with the creator? 🤔
You haven't had real fun with trains until you suplex one.
Nice ff6 reference
Sabin moment
If you aren't suplexing trains you just aren't living
Choo choo slide caught me off guard
“I like trains!” Now I am interested.
You've ruined a meme

Spirit Tracks is such a criminally underrated title. I almost never hear anyone talking about it. Thank you for talking about it, The Completionist.
It is a good Zelda title.
I personally thought that getting the train conductor costume from the intro was a nice nostalgic reward.
Honest to god the most underrated Zelda game ever, good story, pretty fun and funny, and Link and Zelda are so cute together! I have a lot of fond memories with this game. 💚
I loved the DS games and ST has AMAZING OST!
TRAINS!!!!
My fav game by far lol
"I choo choo choose you" and there is a picture of a train. Best valentine card ever

My favorite Link, the Hero of Public Transportation.
Carrying passengers and cargo safely to their destinations to gain power.
This overworld theme lives rent free in my head!
Have you considered charging it rent?
I wish this game would get a huge remake/reimagining because it is so good and it is a big tragedy that it is stuck so to speak on the DS
I lived in Japan when Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks came out. Capsule machines in grocery stores sold full pen-size Zelda styluses that had a dangling shield that could be used to clean the screen. This made both games really fun and easy to play. These days, I use Twilight Menu+++ to play both games with the Circle Pad on my 3DS.
Had this legend kept track of his life, he could have fostered a spiritual successor. Instead... he has zelda to aid his woes it seems.
StiII mad?
This game was so much fun... for me not my ds touchscreen.
Out of all of the Zelda games this game seriously frustrated me having to use the touch screen for so much and is the only Zelda game I haven’t completed.

I don't know many fictional trains. I guess the best one is the ghost train that gets suplexed.

Certified *HeroOfTrains* moment
I’ve been playing this for the last week almost done with it! Crazy out of all games you decided on this one I’m playing phantom hourglass next
My favorite train is the hype train
I wish they'd remake these games. They're dying for it.
Not sure how they would replicate the controls.

This is my favorite Zelda game, I remember when it came out that I was super excited for it and I still go back and play it today
Shout-out to everyone who struggled with the sand sanctuary back then
I got halfway through Phantom Hourglass on the original hardware, partway through Spirit Tracks on Wii U virtual console.
A Link Between Worlds on 3DS was such a great improvement for portable gaming in the series.
I was literally playing this earlier on the new delta emulator, it’s one of my favorite Zelda games.
Another game where Zelda plays a major role, or even becomes playable would be much appreciated!
Then it wouldn't be legend of Zelda. Zelda is the historian of the games, she passes the legend onto the next link with each iteration.
@@zachrion Both wrong and...I guess you are saying that this game is not a Zelda game.
@@zachrionthis really aged 😂
Always good to see more DS Games. Even if it is just Zelda Pokemon Mario or Kirby again.
Its a phantom not a guardian, all of them have shields
Yes!!! So glad you are covering this
I have this game but I never finished, but I do the phantom hourglass which is my childhood I beat this game so many time I love it so much
I actually loved the train transport quests and really hoped there was more of those.
The main thing keeping me back from enjoying this game again is the flute ...
I love the existence of the train in thousand year door. If that counts
Wait where?
This was the first Zelda game I ever played and I mostly remember being absolutely terrified of the evil trains😂
This is so funny bc your phantom hourglass review just showed up on my feed, I just got done through playing both of them and I was like he’s bound to have a spirit tracks one. One day ago, perfect! XD
I was randomly playing this a few days ago to look at my old save from 2012
Still waiting on a mod to turn the Spirit Train into Thomas that way I can have two pieces of my childhood together
So do I too
I still need to play this game, but I also wish Toon Link would get another game.
I especially appreciate this game since it has a somewhat playable Zelda with somewhat unique gameplay. It's probably my favorite in the adult timeline and WW is second, given, only 3 games in that timeline.
My favorite fictional train is the one that Doc Brown has at the end of "Back to the Future Part 3". It's wonderful.
loved this game
Another banger legend of Zelda episode from the completionist👍
In Phantom Hourglass, we are transported by ship.
In Spirit Tracks, we are transported by trains.
In Breath of the Wild, we are transported by glider.
In Tears of the Kingdom, we are transported by whatever we can make.
So sea, land, air, and your imagination!

I’m a locomotive engineer by profession… they did a good job on the train mechanic and the game is fun 🍻
either a bot or a really dumb person
Oh my god I love this game. Such a huge improvement from phantom hourglass.
I enjoyed my time with phantom hourglass and spirit tracks. I would’ve rather had a mainstream wind waker sequel, but these weren’t bad at all
Ahhh this came out right when im replaying this game, perfect!
My favourite of the DS Zelda's!! 😁🚂🗡️
I'm kind of surprised he didn't talk about the optional boss rush with the shadow link battle
Favorite fictional train? Doom Train, both as a Boss you can Suplex in FF6, and as a summon in FF8.
Does ChargeMan count? He's a train, and I get a slick slide attack from him...😂
I think I like the Rail Zeppelin in the Natsuverse. Put very simply it's a magical train where you can acquire very unique goods so long as your willing to buy/trade for them.
I never could get into this era of zelda, but I can at least see the appeal.
Game is super underrated
I just got access to this game! Looking forward to it. At some point. I probably have 20 games ahead of it in line at the moment…but it’s there for when it’s time!

I remember this game fondly, trains are cool
Honestly I thought spirit tracks was very interesting. Definitely explored and tested a lot of things
This made me want to go replay Spirit Tracks.
And really the other Toon Link games
Love this game! Glad you covered it!
loved this game, didnt love the bomb trains that chase you
You had me at trains.
Really one of my favorite Zelda games.

Shark boy and Lava girl mentioned!
I loved this game. Underrated.
Playing as a kid i remember the train being the coolest part
Beating this game takes a lot of
Train-ing
Only the true ones know the meaning of I like trains
I would love a console sequel to this game: a fully open world game that plays like wind waker but takes place in new hyrule
Seeing this game is seeing a memory unearthed in my mind oh my goodness 😅
The train from the Dark Tower book series!
Best princess zelda in my opinion well maybe before tears of the kingdom
But she's definitely the best companion character
i love ST
but i know it's not for everyone
however i never called this link the hero of trains
i've always thought of him as the hero of spirits.
the lokomo, the phantoms, ZELDA. even the names of the tracks themselves are the spirit tracks. i always thought he was the hero of spirits. i'l have to see if the hyrule historia gives a definitive answer
You didn’t mention the mic blowing flute. The instruments in Zelda are usually so important.
The game would have been really great if that thing wouldn't glitch out on me, like the last or second to last it was so hard to use
My only issue is during the last song, where the koyes arent roght mext to each other. On a sensitive mic thats really hard to time for a kid
He's forgetfull with a lot of things 😅
