Description
Despite difficulties, I think this piece turned out great! Beat it, art block >So here's what I think a royally-certified Train Engineer Zelda and Spirit Prince of New Hyrule, Link, would look like! The idea for this swap came about when I was thinking what if the villains accidentally stole Link's body instead of Zelda's. Then I stretched the idea into an AU where Link is the prince descended from Tetra while Zelda is an otherwise ordinary lass who wishes to be the greatest Train Engineer of all time ^_^ Not sure if anyone else has done this swap, though.
Anyway, while I'm on the subject of Spirit Tracks, I just want to sat that it's one of the best Zelda games in my opinion. The soundtrack is gorgeous, and both bosses and dungeons were solid. On the subject of touch controls, I actually like how it was used in the game, and my only frustration with it is in some select areas manning Phantom Zelda. And of course, I adored Link and Zelda as a team!
So you can imagine how glad I was to see some ST representation when Phantom Zelda and the Sand Wand made appearances in Hyrule Warriors. I've yet to try any version of the game, but I'm really hoping to get it for the Switch! Hopefully, Byrne will also make an appearance in another LoZ game~ I'd even settle for an Assist Trophy in Smash. Oh, and speaking of Smash, I'm also super stoked to see the Spirit Tracks stage return in Ultimate! I adore Train Engineer Link just chilling and driving while characters duke it out behind him XD I wonder if people will bring back the "leave it to Alfonzo" meme because of this stage...

I can imagine if the gender swap was a bonus for beating the main game

Quite an interesting idea and story for this AU!
I concur on your opinion for it is also my all time favorite on the DS! Especially the Soundtrack.
I have just started playing HW on the Wii U but I am getting it will be fun using Phantom Zelda and he Sand Wand!
I still have my hopes for Byrne to be a playable warrior because like him, Vaati, the oracle Villains, have potential for some good movesets and such. :b

Haha, thanks! I actually have wrote a few random scenes for this AU. I want to work on it but I'm still trying to get back into a writing mood.
I think the Main Theme for Spirit Tracks in one of the top music tracks I've ever heard from any game. I love it so much I sometimes open my Smash Bros. on my 3DS just to listen to the Full Steam Ahead remix over and over again
It should be fun smashing trains and sand cubes into hordes of Bokoblins on Hyrule Warriors XD Beware Spirit Tracks Link!
Indeed. Fingers crossed! Though, I read on Internet discussions Vaati and the Oracle villains might be a little tricky to get into a future Zelda game since the Oracle games and Minish Cap were also created with Capcom. I don't know enough about this issue, but hopefully it's not too big an obstacle for my favorite purple mage to come back ;_;
