Does the Gamepad make a big difference in TW101 and Wind Waker HD?

For Wind Waker, it's absolutely marvellous. The gamepad greatly improves the flow of the game since you're not constantly bringing up the menu to either switch items or look at the map.

Flames are conjuring under your post, so I'll discuss this with you.  I've been finding it more of a hassle to use the gamepad.  I mean, I have to stop just as much as bringing up a menu.  On top of that, I have to look up and down quite often as opposed to keeping my head straight and waiting the split second for the menu to come (Which is faster than looking down btw).  Plus you still have to stop while you're looking at your map/inventory.  Thoughts?

For the inventory, yes you have to look down at first when you don't know what items are where but for the sea chart you can easily continue sailing while looking at the map as opposed to pressing + which pauses the game. Also, in dungeon, I much prefer the quick look down on the pad than to pause the game.
