The Legend of Zelda - Spirit Tracks (Zelda no Densetsu - Daichi no Kiteki) is played on the Nintendo DS/DSi system. When you first start the game, you choose if you are left or right-handed, the menu will then be located at the correct side depending on which hand you use to hold the stylus.The game is mainly played using the stylus, the buttons are not really needed. However, the L or R button are extremely useful as a short cut to use your other weapons aside from your sword. Using the R/L buttons saves time compared to clicking the item icon on the top left/right corner.
You can also use the A or the downward button to call up the map.
