We’re celebrating a divisive DS debut in Phantom Hourglass Week

When we discovered that our friend chuggaaconroy was planning a new Let’s Play series on Phantom Hourglass, there was no way that we were going to let him have all the fun. This week, we’ll be celebrating The Legend of Zelda’s first DS title!
