EA Japan’s upcoming DS game, Shonen Kininden Tsumuji, is pretty much Zelda, but with ninjas. This might be a bad thing for Link and friends because, as we all know, ninjas make everything, like, a gazillion times better.

This game reminds me of that other Zelda-like game with an ancient Japanese setting and heavy use of imagery inspired by traditional Japanese paintings. You know, the one with the wolf that has a sequel coming to the DS in 2010…

Geeze, with Zelda: The Spirit Tracks, Okamiden (the one with the wolf^__-), 3D Dot Heroes, and now Shonen Kininden Tsumuji, it seems like a good time for those who are fans of Zelda-esque gameplay.

Here’s a trailer for Shonen Kininden Tsumuji (Legend of the Boy Ninja Tsumuji).
