Spirit Tracks Concept Art
Design sketches for the railroad cars. Included are cars that never appeared in-game, including one that mimics the shape of an airplane, and another in the shape of Tingle.
Thank god they didn’t use the tingle train. Though, I probably would’ve traded for it, just for laughs 🙂
The jet train would have been interesting if it was put into the final game, especially because jets are obviously a modern invention. But then again, so are steam trains.
as much as i like tingle, i shudder to thing about where link would stand on the tingle train! lol but… what if the lower half of tingle was, in fact, the cannon portion of the train! lol id laugh hard! and whats even more funny is that nintendo wouldn’t be shy about doing something that ridiculous!
