Spirit Tracks

A century after Wind Waker's events in New Hyrule. The Spirit Tracks that hold the Demon King imprisoned are vanishing — and Zelda's body has been stolen by Chancellor Cole. Zelda's spirit travels with Link, possessing Phantoms inside the Tower of Spirits.

Two-Character Gameplay — Link + Phantom Zelda

Inside the Tower of Spirits, Zelda's spirit can possess an armored Phantom. You control Link directly and direct Zelda by tapping her destination on the touchscreen. Zelda can hold switches, block attacks, carry Link across hazardous floors, and activate Phantom-only triggers. Many puzzles require both characters to act simultaneously. Blowing the Spirit Flute into the DS microphone controls trains and unlocks songs from Gage at Castle Town.

All 5 Realm Temples

Each realm temple restores one Spirit Track route. The Tower of Spirits gains new floors after each restoration.

1

Forest Temple

Whirlwind

📍 Forest Realm — north of Aboda Village

Boss — Stagnox: Stagnox is a giant armored beetle. Use the Whirlwind to blow away his protective beetle shell — expose his back. Zelda in Phantom form holds the beetle shell while Link attacks the back. Phase 2 he adds a rolling charge — Zelda blocks while Link damages from behind.

2

Snow Temple

Boomerang

📍 Snow Realm — use the blizzard train route

Boss — Fraaz: Fraaz controls fire and ice. Hit his fire form with the ice torch (Boomerang via ice targets) and his ice form with fire. He splits into two small forms periodically — the smaller forms can be combined back into one by catching both with the Boomerang simultaneously.

3

Ocean Temple

Bow

📍 Ocean Realm — sea routes require upgraded train cannon

Boss — Phytops: Phytops is a giant plant with poison barbs. Shoot its barbed tentacles with arrows to stun them, then use the Whirlwind to blow the stunned barbs back at its central eye. Phase 2 it adds a poison spray — dodge using the corners of the room while repositioning.

4

Fire Temple

Hammer

📍 Fire Realm — heat-resistant train upgrades needed

Boss — Cragma: Cragma is a lava giant. The Hammer stuns it when you hit a glowing red crystal on its body. Zelda in Phantom form carries Link to high platforms where crystals are accessible. Hit all crystals in sequence to expose the head, then strike the head for the kill.

5

Sand Temple

Sand Wand

📍 Sand Realm — requires Compass of Light from Tower of Spirits

Boss — Skeldritch: Skeldritch is an ancient skeleton. Use the Sand Wand to raise sand platforms under its body segments — raising sand under a segment causes it to collapse. Work from the tail toward the head. Final phase: the skull rolls and bounces — raise sand pillars to block it, then strike the eye socket.
