I've just finished reading through the Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks feature in Nintendo Power, and it doesn't really give any information that we don't already know. I've pulled the little bits and posted them below. I'm only covering aspects that we haven't discussed yet.

- your inventory has room for six collected items (such as Whirlwind, boomerang, whip, ect.)
- wooden hearts and dragon scales tie to side-quests
