Remember back in 2007 when Nintendo gave a special feather stylus to those avid Zelda fans who pre-ordered Phantom Hourglass? It seems history does in fact repeat itself, as Nintendo is doing this again, only this time with the upcoming Zelda game for DS, Spirit Tracks.

According to Kotaku, anyone who pre-orders Spirit Tracks in Japan will receive the special stylus. Sadly, this gift is apparently Japan-exclusive at the moment. Perhaps Nintendo will soon announce a similar promotion for North America and/or Europe.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is due for release in North America on December 7th, and the 11th for Europe; Japanese players will have to wait a bit longer, as it is released there on the 23rd.
