If you have the new Nintendo DS game The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Nintendo wants to give you a gift for your opinion. Just head over to register your copy of the game and you’ll pick up a free Nintendo DS Feather Pen Stylus. It doesn’t do anything special, but it’s cool and it’s FREE! (You will need to create a My Nintendo account if you don’t already have one.)
