Most of the time, the objective is to find and click on all the items listed at the left side of the screen, on remote locations filled with assorted objects scattered through the scenery.
Some of the collected items are stored inside the inventory, accessible as a retracting tray at the bottom of the screen.
The objects have to be dragged and dropped from their tray slots to the appropriate and logical places of the scenery, to perform an action or complete a task.
As in most point-and-click adventures, inventory objects can be used on other inventory items to fix, clean, or prepare them in some other way.
Besides the list items, the locations have gems that give extra points, and are set as decorations to the surrounding interface.
The hint button is a statue head sitting at the top of the list that, when activated, turns and shoots light beams from its eyes to highlight one of the required objects with a circle.
The statue takes some time to recharge after use.
Some puzzles take place on a separate screen, where the player has to match pairs of dice by theme, place coins on a grid on slots that match their engravings, enter a series of Mayan symbols on a code cylinder, complete a jigsaw puzzle with map pieces, step on the correct sequence of round boulders of a stone path, reassemble a shattered glass statuette, trace patterns on the screen to cut dense vegetation with a machete, and complete other similar challenges.
These mini-games can be skipped after a few minutes.
The language can be set to Italian, Spanish, German, Russian, Japanese, British English, North American English, Dutch or French.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Youda Legend: The Golden Bird of Paradise for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Youda Legend: The Golden Bird of Paradise to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2012.
