as Charles Fort said, "it steam engines when it's steam engine time". I would say that it has steampunk elements in it, but I wouldn't really call it true steampunk because there's usually more Victorian style trappings to steampunk.


Who likes role-playing games? Me. Way too goddamn much.

^agreed, also there tends to be more elaborate structures with lots of moving parts.

All I know is that Spirit Tracks was the most boring Zelda game ever made.


Shake it, Quake it, Space Kaboom.

Seriously. It's the first time I've outright disliked a Zelda game.

That's like calling the regular Old West "Steampunk".

Pretty Much, I tired real hard to like it as well.

I honestly did not care too much for Phantom Hourglass. I like some of the dungeons and gameplay, but the game itself felt overall disjointed.
