Best of the three

Wind waker 64 42.11%
 
Twilight princess 55 36.18%
 
Skyward sword 33 21.71%
 
Total:152
Which zelda game of the Gc/Wii era is the best, I am going to mark them on certain criteria to find out. Two points for first, one for second and none for last. 
OPENING
SS and TP take ages to get going with TP being the worst, in WW you get your green tunic really early and then you're straight into the action. WW:2PTS- SS:1PT
STORY
More emotion in the SS and TP stories with SS having a greater emotional impact. SS:2PTS-TP:1PT
MUSIC
Those beautiful stringed instruments  give WW the points. SS is the least memorable although it still has some great dungeon themes. WW:2PTS-TP:1PT
EXPLORATION
Easy decision WW:2PTS-TP:1PT
SIDEQUESTS
WW folowed by TP for me. SS is a bit lacking in this area and only has 24 heart pieces. WW:2PTS-TP:1PT
ARTSTYLE
I prefer WW over SS because I don't like that blurry filter in SS. TP is the most generic. WW:2PTS-SS:1PT
LINK
Links appearance matters to me and i don't like the look of WW link because his face is too round and his long torso and short legs make him look chubby. SS link looks great but TP link looks the most baddass. TP2PTS-SS1PT
DUNGEON QUANTITY
Just count them. TP:2PTS-SS:1PT
DUNGEON QUALITY
This is a really tough decision between TP and SS. Lanayru mining facility is my all time favourite zelda dungeon so i'll give SS the points but only just. SS:2PTS-TP:1PT
BOSSES
TP bosses look great although they are too easy, something which WW is also guilty of too. SS had some interesring bosses even if you had to fight some of them three times. TP:2PTS-SS:1PT
COMBAT
SS has great combat but only when it works so it is between the other two. TP has more moves than WW. TP:2PTS-WW:1PT
DIFICULTY
SS is the hardest and WW the easiest. SS:2PTS-TP:1PT
COMPANION
Midna is awesome, the king of red lions is okay and fi is infuriating with her constant interuptions. TP:2PTS-WW:1PT
ARSENAL
WW has standard run of the mill zelda items, TP has some great new additions but the beatle is the best item in any zelda game for me. SS:2PTS-TP:1PT
TOTAL
TP:17PTS-SS:13PTS-WW:12PTS 
So i think TP is the better game overall, just remember it is only my opinion.

WW is the best of the three.



Twilight Princess all the way. Best story in the series IMO and for me, that is more important than the dungeons.

WW, TP and SS are all great games, I will mentioned only things I dont like about them:
-WW needed more content, one more bigger island like Windfall Island or Outset Island IMO would be perfect.
-TP overworld is so huge, empty and boring, definitely needed more live, populated world with more content, also without sections game would be better.
-SS has terrible backtracking (you going 3 times back in each area), and of course game is too linear.

I would said WW>SS>TP, but again all 3 are great games.

I currently playing TP HD, looks and fells much better than original that I replayed 3 years ago, saying that owerlworld is still huge, empty and boring, still my biggest complain about game, also without wolf sections game would be better. Also TP HD looks better than it looks on screenshots and videos.



Music Wind Waker HD
Graphical Setting TP
Opening WW
Sidequests TP
Link TP
Dungeons TP
Bosses TP
Difficulty WW on hero mode (TP was too easy for a gritty and more serious zelda)
Companion WW
Items TP
Best scène for me was claiming the master sword in TP. The worst scene was the opening of TP so much things I didn't care doing. So TP for me mind you I didn't play SS so I didn't judge it.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

I've been playing Twilight Princess (HD) recently after a long time since my last play, and holy crap, it's incredible. It might even be my favorite Zelda game now, knocking out OoT, which I finished a replay of back in November. The dungeons are god-tier. Link is so fun to control with all his moves and little nuances. Horseriding is incredible, and I love exploring the game's world finding secrets and all that, especially with the horseriding involved.

Twilight Princess > The Wind Waker > Skyward Sword



bet: lost

Windwaker for me, loved the graphic style. Never got into TP or SS as much maybe because both looked awful and weakened the atmosphere a bit.



voted skyward sword because the motion plus controls were fantastic to me. 2nd would be wind waker. I haven't progressed through twilight enough to rank it in the series.



WindWaker is the best of the three.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
