It's been a while, lets start this thing up again.

I have beaten both games twice, and I can say that for me Twilight Princess was way better.

Wind Waker's boss weren't very enjoyable - Except for Gannon and Puppet Gannon.

While TP's bosses were easy they were varied and creative.

Twilight Princess's story was very engaging - heres an example of a great cutscene - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo9qmN8oLbA - very exciting, lots of humor.

Twilight Princess's dungons were WAY more varried, and some of the items like the Double Hookshot were phenomonal.

To be fair I really liked all the sidequests in Windwaker (but sailing was tedious), and I reallly liked the games phisics - you could shoot an enemy with a fire arrow and he would fly backwards and set another on fire.

Theres no compairing the graphics - TP's was better from a technical standpoint but Windwaker's look a feast for the eyes. Two diffrent looks that are both good to look at.

The Wind Waker gets my vote. It actually felt like a "legend[ary]" game.

The monotonous sailing ruined Wind Waker for me. It's the only Zelda I've ever had that I didn't finish.

That and having to play a song every single time I wanted to change the wind direction. Annoying.

Cool, Wind Waker is winning :D I choose WW over TP because it offered some real innovation, while TP is little more than a remake of Ocarina of Time (although a very good remake). Also, Link's facial expressions in WW are amazing, as opposed to a more lifeless character in TP.

Wind Waker by a mile! TP took itself too seriously.. WW was just an awesome game with the best hero ever. Toon Link is so much better than Link in so many ways, starting with his adorableness :D

Twilight Princess is much better in nearly every aspect; gameplay, content, graphics, length. Honestly I have no clue why Twilight Princess gets so much hate... it's one of the best Wii games out there. Plus everyone seems to complain about Nintendo having a "kiddy" image yet at the same time they like Wind Waker's look more, talk about mixed signals. Cell shaded Zelda should stay on DS.

twilight princess was a good game..but as a zelda game it doesn't even come close to the best. windwaker is better but personally i love majora's mask and ocarina of time lol at "cell shaded zelda should stay on DS" the art style was creative and successful..no need to put it down just because it isn't "realistic"

They both were great, but Twilight Princess felt bigger. Plus the Wii controls and widescreen mode make me more likely to play TP. Now if they just remake WW that would be great.

Wind Waker!!!

why? more unique graphics, more interesting side quests, no annoying switching between link and wolf link, sailing is fun,...

I've been a Zelda fan from the beginning, but I didn't enjow TP as much as the previous games... I really hope Nintendo changes that with the next Zelda...

let's just wait for E3

Wind Waker. This shouldn't even be a contest.Litchie
:x Well thier is a contest. I've played both games twice so I should know which one I preffered and I am definitly a Twilight Princess fan. And in other polls Twilight Princess has been in the lead - it really depends on who's on the wii forums at the time. Not only is this a contest, it's probably one of the biggest areas of disagreement on the Wii forum.

I can't see how someone would preffer Windwaker, but I'm not going to assume that those who do don't have very good reasons.

The story was better. The gameplay was better. The characters were better (TP lacked personality, and Ganon was incredibly more awesome in WW). The graphics was better. The difficulty was better. The replay value was better. Those are pretty good reasons to me. All of these things made WW feel a lot more epic and original.

WW defiantely. I just think it had alot more detail (in alot of respects) than TP. TP felt empty, it just somehow missed the feeling I usually get from a Zelda game. It was alright, but WW delivered like no other.

Twilight Princess was more successful, sales don't lie.

best selling game doesn't mean best game the fact that you tried to make your opinion fact with "game sales" proves that you know nothing about what makes a game great.

GAH! Don't be embarrassed though, be excited. Go run out and buy WW right now and you'll get to experience all the greatness for the first time. I actually envy you in a way. And yes, my vote went to WW. As I've said over and over again in these polls, TP was the worst of the 3d zeldas.

I hated Windwaker. I always liked normal Link better than Young Link, so when I saw the Toon-Young-Link, I wasn't pleased. I'm really not fond of the graphics style of Windwaker either. Two cartoonish and 2D.

Ive beaten TP, and Im halfway through WW, but im thinking neither of these were my favourites.Twilight princess was too much like ocarina of time (in a bad way), and windwaker got tiresome quickly because of the dull story and the sailing mechanics, plus its the only zelda game that I havn't felt the need to finish "just one more level".

Overall, OoT beats the pants off both of these wussy games combined! 8)

Wind Waker I have played it much more than Twilight Princess. It tried to be different in the series and the graphics were outstanding. The game had 2 critcisms. It was too short and the sailing was dull but overall the temples in Wind Waker were much better than Twilight Princess.

I was talking about SUCCESS not greatness. But in greatness respect TP is much better at least in my own personal opinion. Gameplay, graphics, content, as a whole it felt much more epic like a Zelda game should. Again I find it absolutely HILARIOUS that people complain about Twilight Princess and put Wind Waker on this huge pedestal when WW was bashed horribly for it's kiddy art style.

This just like having to choose which of your kids is best. They are both as good, but in different ways. But I went for windwaker, my reason for my choice is that I love the sea. But I must say we shouldnt compare Windwaker and Twilight Princess wait until a new zelda comes hopefully too the Wii.

Twilight Princess.. is worse than WW, and it's not even close. WW's bosses weren't a complete joke, it had a better storyline, and the final boss battle was epic.

I miss Orcorina of Time. It was for me my first Zelda game, one my dad picked up for me because he saw it on sale and rated and one of the best games. Before that i was playing a manner of non nintendo games. But once i tried Orcarina I was hooked. The Legend of Zelda is now my favorite franchise and i have and will play any iteration i can get my hands on. It even pushed me to buy a Wii.

Okay, I'm sorry, but it's ocarina. Not orcorina. That really bothered me.

But back to the matter at hand, Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda game ever. Possibly my favorite game of all time. Better characters, more personality, cooler art style, MUCH better selection of side quests, better bosses (easier, but better) , and a more interesting story line. The whole lite world/dark world complex has been used since Link to the Past. Don't get me wrong, I like Twilight Princess- in fact I love twilight princess, it's just not as good as Wind Waker. And if you haven't played the game just because of the graphical style, you really are denying yourself of one of the greatest experiences in videogame history.

twilight princess was criticised for doing almost the exact same thing other zelda games (and action games before it) had done.

The graphics where dissapointing considering what the wii can do and the content couldn't satisfy me especially when i was looking for replayability or side-quests that were worth doing.

windwaker's artistic shift (although radically different) actually felt fresh,new and it worked, which is why i said it was successful. Its the kind of change that adds to game, not takes from it.

Twilight princess gave almost nothing new to the Zelda series..and it actually felt stale compared to other games in the series.

Windwaker isn't even my favorite zelda game yet i still put it higher than Twilight Princess because I felt it was an all around better game.

Again, i dont understand why you feel the need to insult wind waker because you think it's graphics are "kiddy". It had a cell-shaded cartoonish feel similiar to Okami.

Same exact thing happened to me!

I just couldn't get into the game enough to play it through. The combination of cartoony graphics and constant sailing just didn't make it feel like a Zelda game to me!
