The Wii was home to two flagship Zelda titles; which do you think was the better one, and why?

Twilight Princess is actually my favorite Zelda game!



PSn - greencactaur
Nintendo Switch FC - SW - 5152 - 6393 - 5140 Please feel free to add me :)

Skyward Sword. Aside from the overworld being weaker, I think Skyward Sword is better in pretty much every area. Visuals, controls, dungeons, bosses, and so on.



Skyward Sword, the motion + use made combat amazing.



Twilight Princess. On Gamecube.

Seriously though, I liked both pretty much equally. TP had amazing atmosphere, a better overworld map, great controls (I played the Gamecube version), but Skyward sword has it beat when it comes to story, dungeon design, and characters.

Both use the tired musical instrument gimmick though, which got old fast after Majora’s Mask.

Does it even count for these two games?  We're not exactly talking about a core gameplay element like the Ocarina or Wind Waker.

I honestly had to look up what instruments he was referring to in Twilight Princess.  



Twilight Princess was really fun back in the day. It wasn't the greatest Zelda to me but it was the best 3D one until Breath of the Wild. The gameplay and world always felt epic. I always disliked Skyward Sword. The game has incredible amounts of filler, very linear design and the world it was in wasn't interesting at all. I played Skyward Sword twice and I have no intention of ever returning. I actually want to play Twilight Princess again one day when I have the time.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Twilight Princess is what Zelda fans wanted for years. A mature Zelda title. Put 50 hours in myself, easily my top 3 Zeldas

Skyward sword is the worst 3D Zelda, that seems to be the general consensus.The Wii controls just isn’t as good as a good old fashioned controller



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

I used to prefer TP, especially when it comes to combat, but these days I think I like them both equally, with different streghts and weaknesses.



I like Skyward Sword just fine, but Twilight Princess is easily superior. Skyward Sword wins in terms of control but Twilight Princess beats it in every other area. Its dungeons are some of the best pieces of level design in any game. Its soundtrack is memorable, its world is epic. It also contains my favorite boss fight in the series. The stories of both are on par I’d say, Skyward Sword may be more elaborate and more character rich but Twilight Princess’ is already enough, and Twilight Princess does have the best cutscene I’ve ever seen.
