Of course, the Nintendo DS Lite is a great handheld system: duel screens, one being a touch screen, long battery life, WiFi multi-player capability. Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks must be really great, because I can't make my daughter part with it so I can try it out myself. :-/ It seems to be a sequel to Phantom Hourglass with similar game play and characters. Puzzles, side quests, the main mysterious story line; all typical of Zelda games. Any fan will enjoy this...as much as my daughter...and won't share it with anyone else. :-/ I'd recommend Nintendo DS Lite and just about any Legend of Zelda game to everyone.

I bought this product because I'm a huge Legend of Zelda fan and this DS is perfect to show some fan love. Being a pokemon fan as well, allowed me to play pokemon GBA games as well. The features are so clean and is so easy to use. I like it better than the new DS's like the xl or 3ds because it allows me to play older games like Pokemon Sapphire or Pokrmon FireRed.
When it comes to handheld nintendo systems, I think that this one is pretty high up there. My all time favorite of them is the SP, but this is actually better than the SP in certain respects. The backlight is adjustable to conserve battery life, there's a headphone jack, and it's faster charging. And then there are all the things that make it the DS-the touch screen, etc. From what I've seen, this is a great improvement over the original DS, though I can't compare it to the DSi which I don't own. The size is good and there are good accessories out to help protect it if you're afraid of scratches or whatnot (and it doesn't make it too big either, it still fits in my pocket!). All in all, I'm very happy with the system and I think that it's a great choice, especially if you like your GBA games (which the DSi can't play) as well as the DS ones!Read full review
Works like any you would expect in a DS lite system. Great color and design for any Zelda fan and great potable system for anyone who is looking to do a little gaming on the go.

The Nintendo DS Lite is my one of my favorite game consoles of all time (second only to my old N64, we go way back). I love the shape and the aesthetic properties of the console, and the fact that it has backwards-compatibility with GBA games is just excellent. This particular model of the DS, the collector's edition Legend of Zelda in gold, was the best gift I ever received at Christmas. I'm such a huge fan of the Legend of Zelda that thinking about it raises my blood pressure. The gold paint and the simple Triforce on front of the console are more beautiful to me than the beginning of life. I may be getting a little carried away here, but in short I really love this system. This particular system was in really good shape and functioned perfectly when I purchased it; unfortunately, the original one I'd gotten for Christmas had a broken charge port and I couldn't afford to get it fixed immediately. While it sat on the shelf as I saved money, when I returned for it the thing was missing, and I was deeply depressed about this. I was so excited to buy this new one, which was a fantastic deal for the price. It came to me used, but it looked brand new. It was in better condition than mine had been. The selection of games isn't very good for any of the DS systems, the problem being that Nintendo is pumping systems out too fast (a new one every year it seems, each worse than the last) and not enough games are being made in that short timespan. The Legend of Zelda games released were disappointing, as were the new Pokemon games. Two games I will recommend are Rune Factory and its sequels and Etrian Odyssey and its sequels. They're a lot of fun. Overall, the DS Lite is the best of the DS models (in my opinion, the others didn't bring much to the table and lacked backwards-compatibility). I would buy it again if I needed to and I plan to one day introduce it to my children, just as my parents introduced me to Nintendo.Read full review
