Spirit Tracks utilizes the Nintendo DS's unique features, primarily relying on the stylus for most actions. The D-Pad is used for movement when Link is on foot, but the stylus handles everything from attacking to interacting with objects and navigating menus. When riding the Spirit Train, the stylus controls speed, direction, and the train's whistle. Familiarize yourself with these inputs early on to avoid frustration. Tapping Link will make him roll, while tapping enemies will target them for attack. Drawing paths on the touchscreen is essential for many puzzles and for guiding projectiles like the Boomerang.
