I have indeed played both Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time with OoT being second. Coming from someone who has played both games but has not played OoT before, I think Twilight Princess is the superior game. Yes, OoT was very good for it's time (and is still quite a good game by today's standards :P), and people do get nostalgic about it, but for people who have not played either game before and are looking for a good 3D Zelda experience, Twilight Princess is the way to go. When it came out, Ocarina of Time was a gaming revolution. It had great graphics and sound, it was full of puzzles and fun, and the whole game felt more like a living world than a game world. Twilight Princess is basically just like Ocarina of Time, except everything is enhanced. The world in Twilight Princess is huge, yet it doesn't take too long to travel across; you could go Hyrule sightseeing in an hour or so. Hyrule is varied across its different sections, with some areas being dense with people and others only having the occasional entrepreneur (like the cannon man). Ocarina of Time had a long story; Twilight Princess's is longer. Both Links have annoying advice-givers, but Midna is slightly (only slightly) less annoying than Navi. Ocarina of Time had great graphics for its time; Twilight Princess has great graphics for more recent time. Ocarina of Time had lots of puzzles and mini-quests; Twilight Princess has just as many, if not more. Combat was simple but deep in Oot; combat is simple, but has many more added features in TP. I'm making this overly long and convoluted, so I'm just going to wrap this up by saying: it it's your first time with a 3D Zelda experience, go for Twilight Princess.
