GDC: Zelda DS - first multiplayer details

Hidden in the corner of Nintendo's GDC expo booth is the first mutliplayer demonstration of Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.

The demo pits two players against each other in a Pac-Man-style battle mode, with one player controlling Link and the other guiding three enemies around the map using stylus-drawn directions.

The player controlling Link is tasked with collecting as many Tri-Force pieces littered around the stage as possible, though the larger the pieces you pick up the slower you will be able t move. Once the baddie player successfully captures our green-hatted hero roles will swap and the game goes on.
