Hey guys, coming back to the What is the Phantom Hourglass? talks, here is a scan from a french magazine with quite a bit feature on PH. Doesnt have any new screens, but does have some new artwork, showing the stylus moving the sword.

However, the main thing is this, which seems to show that a) there will one again be some kinds 4Swords dynamic in the game, like TMC, but this time with more, notice Red, Orange, Light and Dark Blue, and what seems like Yellow link who B) seems to be holding an Hourglass. This may mean that is an in game item, like OOT rather than something an evil dude is using, like MM.

EDIT: Oh, and how cute do the Links look? Also, just realised this may not be official art, but making those weird coloured links seems to make me think it IS offical, as its a bit of a weird thing to do otherwise.

Tingle's back... He'd better not be stealing stuff or overcharging for maps.

If the art is not official than it means nothing, it does not look very official, and in Tingle's defense, that IN-credible chart was worth it.

Akk, this was meant to be in the PH placement thread, my finger must have slipped... oops!

Hope you guys get what I was yapping about anyways!

....Is that SEVEN Links in that picture? Oh Jesus...

[Hero of Legend]

You know what else there are seven of? Sages...

Link=Sages?!?! FGGHFGJHJKfgksajdtkrnmv,cvicuyvWTFLOLOMGetjrthvucvybufgyufgyfugyBBQSAUCE!

Who said that Link was the sages?

[Hero of Legend]

Hero of legend said the thing about Link=Sages, which is kinda cool, but I don't think it would work due to confusing younger fans of the game.

Why would it confuse people?

Anyway, I don’t think the Links themselves have to be Sages (Although it would be extremely cool if they used the PH to grow old and become the seven Wise Men... But I know that won't happen) Rather, they could be connected to seven "things" you need to visit/collect, and each "thing" gives you the power to create a new Link (Like in TMC).

But that's only my speculation. For all we know the multiple Links could be nothing but different WiFi characters.

Well, that IS what the caption on the picture implies. On the other hand, it is mostly speculation.

It's real, it's part of a larger scan. I dont' really like the official art for this game, lacks the stylish shading and line usage of the artwork from The Wind Waker.

[Pacman]

I can't wait for PH. I wonder what new kinds of stuff will it bring to the Zelda storyline.

[Kairu Hakubi]

I've always wanted Link to have a tunic for every sage-element-color
I really really like this new art. Link's cute instead of ugly and ape-ish
