Gamers will be able to take Link online, as it's confirmed that Phantom Hourglass has Wi-Fi!

The upcoming DS incarnation of the ever-popular Zelda series is to feature online multi-player battling via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. DS owners will be able to hook up their copy of the game to the Internet, and fight other owners of the game the world over.

Details of the multi-player's features are scarce, but it appears it will take the form of one-on-one battles against your friends, although Eiji Aonuma has also mentioned a "tag mode". He has also said that the game is now in its final stages, with a release in Japan first on the calender.

More details as we get them.
