Upon reveal, I'd never thought I'd say this but Wind Waker is the better of the 3. It's fresh, stylistic, and overall different. It always kept my attention. With the other games it was like going through the motions just because that's what you're supposed to do. With wind waker the freedom you're given once you obtain the king of red lions is very refreshing. Wanna go get your ass frozen to death on an island you're not supposed to explore, go ahead. Wanna take on some cronies inside a submarine, sure. It's just overall amazing from style to gameplay.

I think the game prevents you from going too far away from your primary destination till you go past Forsaken Fortress for the second time. Or maybe till Tower of Gods, i'm not sure now. Anyway, the point is the game limits your freedom from the beginning as any other Zelda game. The only difference is that this time the map is filled with nonesense like enemy towers that gives you some rupees or islands that you can't fully explore until much later. It's not until you get past a huge portion of the game when the boundries are removed.

The point is, you're not confined to one area at a time. The Great Sea offers much more than TP and SS in terms of exploration.  At least you can explore islands that have depth. Even if you can't fully explore them yet, you can still go anywhere at your expense. It's more open than the other two, you can't deny that much.

For me, TW. It has the better story and personally I never liked, and still don't like, the art direction of WW.

Thanks for the excellent breakdown op. I've never thought about it so categorically. I immediately assumed ww was my fav. I don't like the opening of tp either or the wolf for that matter. But putting that aside Twighlight Princess is the better game. I'm still on the last stretch in ss but I've played enough to know its not my top pick. Though the gameplay is so good it's shocking.

Close call between Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. Both are great games.

Wind Waker is by far the worst of the three. The sailing nearly put me in a coma, the powerpuff girls art style deflated any sense of drama, and it's the only one of the three I didn't finish, because I just got too bored to continue.

Wind Waker.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Wind Waker's my favourite game of all time, so of course I'll go with Skyward Sword.

Wind Waker! Finished in in January after over a decade, and all I can say is wow, wow, wow! Can't believe how little I appreciated it first time around and so glad Nintendo did the HD remaster. It has so much charm and the world actually feels alive, like its breathing. Also I find myself humming the Outset Island theme a lot :)

Always liked Wind Waker better, felt the game has personality like no other.
Characters are lovable, art style is amazing, combat is fantastic. Just had much more FUN with Toon Link and company.



I Love Playstation, but my uncle works at Nintendo.

Twilight Princess is best of the three easily. It gave a sorta Lord of The Rings feeling when it comes to atmosphere. Also out of the three it felt more like fantasy. The other two felt like anime. Which maybe bad or good depending on the person.

As for dungeons and gameplay wise. Still Twilight Princess. The only good dungeons in SS was the 3rd and 4th one for me. 1st was ok. 2nd,5th and 6th were horrible. Wind Waker had some boring dungeons. I think I only liked that undead dungeon in the 2nd half of the game.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind
