all games are not created equal

To begin with, both of these games are totally awesome, but I personally find that Wind Waker is the better of the two. The gameplay being so similar between two Zelda games, it ultimately comes down to the details, and I have to say I think the world of Wind Waker is much more interesting and engrossing. I found the sea exploration and treasure-hunting aspects of Windwaker lacking in Twilight Princess, which ultimately felt more linear. Finally, as a matter of personal taste, I even prefer the cel-shaded style of graphics.
