Since we're talking Zelda, I found Twilight Princess to a massive step up from OoT in virtually every aspect, yet the game clearly suffered from a fear of straying from the norm and the fact that it failed to live up to its own lofty promises. Twilight Princess made important progress, but it was still a disappointment to me.
Phantom Hourglass, on the other hand, was step in the right direction and the more worthy title, in my opinion. Not everything in that game was perfect (far from, in fact), but if Nintendo could incorporate its strengths (plot-relevancy, item usage, and main character involvement) into the next console Zelda, it could prove to be one of the greatest games ever.
