last game I played on that was a Zelda one, can't remember which one, but the first Zelda where you got to use the stylus to control yourself and draw magic symbols on doors and shit.

I know about that one where you enter words to summon things, but that one never quite got my interest that much. Seemed like a very well executed gimmick, but I worried about the depth.

Ideally there was a good platformer (played NEW Super Mario Bros. and loved it) or adventure game or RPG that will offer depth and keep me occupied during the lulls in my trip...

coming out in the next few days... If you liked the first DS Zelda, you probably can't go wrong with that one either.
