In some ways, I do too honestly. The combat is infinitely deeper, as is the weapon upgrading and spellcasting, and everything just moves so much faster. Playing as Amatarasu versus Wolf Link is really eye opening, the former feels so much better, with more options and more agile while the latter is clunky, slow and really shows it's N64 roots imo. Okami looks gorgeous too, the visual design is really inspired and will hold up timelessly, while I think TP was more just "passable" with some occasionally nice effects and scale.
On the other hand, Okami dungeons/puzzles are braindead easy (and most often solutions are spoiled by interjected dialog anyway), the world design is overly segmented, pacing is uneven, narration is bloated, there are missable collectibles (NEVER a good thing in a Zelda clone) and Issun's probably the most annoying partner to ever grace the genre. Honestly, I tend to play Zelda more for the exploration and puzzles, and in that regard TP really does trump Okami in about every way.
