Links on a train: the next DS Zelda game is literally on rails

Throwing up a quick thread here, since Nintendo just announced at GDC that they're making a new Zelda game for the DS:
In which Link is on a train. No, really. He's on a train with a cannon that shoots stuff. Yes, there's still dungeons (off the train). It's supposedly being done in the Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass style.
More info to follow.
Edit: "New Zelda looks better than my description probably makes it sound. Looks like a fairly traditional Zelda portable game, with puzzle dungeons and Phantom Hourglass-style touch mechanics. The train basically works like the boat in PH, running along the overworld (presumably on a rail defined by players). Enemy control mechanics look pretty nice -- link distracted a big Zora with a controlled shadow guard, then snuck around to hit it from behind. "
And Link's in a conductor outfit:
Yes, you apparently get to do traditional Zelda stuff too.

Why the crap did I ever make my original name "cloudeagle?"

Don't worry, in a week or two they'll run out of steam.

Now, that's just bad. C'mon now Sporky.
Keeps the curly-cue look of Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass, which I love.

For shame.
I might be sort of interested in this game. I haven't gotten/played PH though.
Edit: Oh, God, what a terrible totp.
:evil:
Shut UP the Locomotive looks AWESOME. Also, there will probably be different ones.

I want it.
In all fairness to this very bizarre idea, it looks rather appropriate for the setting. I was expecting a more polished kind of train.
Come on, you should be all aboard with Nintendo's decision to go with the DS. I'm sure their engineers have been chugging along with development to get the most out of the system at this juncture.

That's right, I am a psychic mastermind. I am now accepting calls to my hotline for just 20 dollars a minute.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's some kind of small cosmetic DLC.
