Legend of Zelda Wind Waker VS. Twilight Princess

[GI Josh]

For me, WW wins by a landslide.

While TP had a better mood and mindset, it wasn't anywhere near challenging. That seriously takes out of the experience of feeling like you accomplished something.

WW had a better storyline, minigames, side-stories, soundtrack, the temples were more fun to me as were the bosses. (Keep in mind, I still love TP).


WW: 9/10 (The only reason it wasn't a 10 was because of that Triforce Shard crap)
TP: 7/10

Ocarina of Time still reamins my favorite.

Just because they may have tried their very hardest to not have their game suck doesn't make it suck any less. Faulty controls aren't an excuse. They're just another reason that Phillips failed.

My point exactly. The games didn't suck on their own. They sucked because of Phillips and their CDI with faulty controls.

 

[Phantom7]

Nah, they sucked.

Philips failed at it, simple as that. They designed the controller, so it's their fault. They animated the horrible cutscenes, programmed the annoying physics, and so on. It's no one else's fault but their own. They may have tried, but they didn't try hard enough. Look back at OoT or MM -- that's hard work. The work put into the CDi games obviously does not compare.

WW by far. TP dosn't deserve the title of "Zelda". Afterall there was litterally nothing to explore, the story sucked, Ganondorf felt tacked on, it looked bland, and it was way too easy the only remotely challenging part was the Sky Temple, heck I didn't die once. Ultimately there was no joy or charm in TP, very much unlike WW, MM, and OoT.

 

[etecoon]

that was one of the most feeble attempts at trolling I have ever witnessed

and I visit gamefaqs I've seen some pretty sad stuff.

Lol, I 2nd this.

So when I state my opinion it is considered trolling... All right.

 

[Spire]

Calm down guys. He was stating his opinion, and while it bashed TP pretty hard, he's entitled to it.

@ etecoon and A Good Smash - you both ended up spamming. Don't do it again.

ummmmm..... i didnt think it was THAT bad!! lol i DID like WW bettr but i thought it was pretty close!! lol

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

You have to give Phillips SOME credit. At least you can see that they tried to make it a decend albeit non-canon Legend of Zelda game (likewise with Wand of Gamelon). It isn't their fault that they failed at it.

How is it NOT their fault?

Who's fault would it be?

 

[Phantom7]

ummmmm..... i didnt think it was THAT bad!! lol i DID like WW bettr but i thought it was pretty close!! lol

It wasn't. The dungeons were better in TP, the bosses were more epic, and it didn't include any overly long Triforce quest.

 

[KillaLotus]

The Artstyle in WW was sick as hell and the boat traveling(although I sometimes hated doing it)was cool and unique in fact I got kinda depressed over the fact that my WW dosen't work luckily I got anti-depressants......Smash

 

[Mclena45]

Wind Waker was awesome. It was way better the Twilight Princess.

The PlayStation owes its existence to the Zelda CDI games, believe it or not.

New Rule: when you say strange things like this, you must elaborate. This statement is a bit out there, and I'm interested in the story. If you don't come back and tell the story, I will shun you. Alternatively, link to wherever you read this.

 

[finnishmatthew]

Twilight Princess, definately.

Best was Twilight Princess, hands down. Having played both I can safely say that while Wind Waker had more freedom, Twilight Princess was more epic.

I was told about it by someone who researches this sort of thing as a hobby, but it's a bit complicated. Perhaps I misunderstood what he was saying.

Wait a minute, why are we discussing the CDI games in a WW/TP thread?

 

[CRASHiC]

Its somewhat misconstrued.

Both were born in the same manner.

Both the CDI and Playstation were born from scraped nintendo products.

 

[~Radiance~]

Umm, gonna have to go wth TP here. The cell shaded graphics didnt do it for me, im used to zelda being a serious adventure, and the cell shaded graphics made it to childish. Twiligt Princess' dark atmosphere was really cool, plus the dungeons were very fun and well designed. By no means do i like twilight princess that much, overall i thought it kinda sucked, but i liked it better then WW. screw sailing, that crap takes forever.

btw, if Ocarina was in here, itd be no contest lol.

 

[Alus]

I would love WW Link to go into the serious TP atmosphere.

 

[Volkner582]

That would be cool, and it would end the belief that cel-shading made the game childish.

 

[Phantom7]

But it would take away the epic and unique feel of WW. It would be interesting to see, but I prefer the cel-shaded graphics for WW.

 

[zaneebaslave]

Wind Waker with Twilight Princess graphics? Sounds kind of silly.

 

[Scott!]

Yeah.... WW and TP are both visually perfect, and their styles fit their games very well. Switching them would be detrimental to both games, definitely. I think sailing would be a lot less fun without the super-stylized look it has. I also maintain that the WW cel-shading could not handle the darkness of TP's twilight as effectively as TP did.

 

[zaneebaslave]

It's like asking Paper Mario to be less Paper. It wouldnt work no matter how hard you try.

 

[Volkner582]

Wind Waker with Twilight Princess graphics? Sounds kind of silly.

I was thinking something more like Twilight Princess with Wind Waker graphics.

 

[Johnknight1]

Twilight Princess I felt had better, dungeons, generally better bosses [mostly because it had like a dozen bosses instead of 8], it was harder [although the only real challenging part was getting used to the Wii schematics], I really liked the Wolf form & because I generally liked the gameplay far more.

The Wind Waker I felt has endless replay value, the best 3rd person camera in a video game EVER [I'm in love with it], awesome sea adventures [although I wish it was bigger with more islands & enemies], fun dungeons, great characters, & just a overall classic presentation.

Also, the stories on them were about equal. The story on The Wind Waker was fun, funny, & in several ways fairly dark but universal. The story on Twilight Princess was much darker [the darkest Zelda game yet...which still wasn't too dark], but it also was generally much more progressive, longer, & had nothing reall terrible.

So yeah, I'm not gonna say which one I'd pick, but I am gonna say I love them both! ^_^

 

[XxCupCakesxX]

Legend of zelda Twilight princess is better because it have like better graphic and all that but legend of zelda the wind waker is just like a classic game for the graphic

 

[Sovrcat]

i dont know about you guys, but when i was little and wind waker came out that shadow dungeon freaked me out.

 

[Scott!]

i dont know about you guys, but when i was little and wind waker came out that shadow dungeon freaked me out.

Not gonna lie, I was never little when WW was out, and I got more than my fair share of Zelda dungeon freak-outs from the Shadow Temple and Beneath the Well in OoT. Redeads still terrorize me in that game and MM. *shudder*

 

[etecoon]

majora's mask is a lot darker than TP, and the shadow temple is freaky, oddly enough it got worse with time not better, as when I was younger, I didn't really notice that it was obviously themed around torture somehow

 

[vepix]

TP all the way.

 

[Phantom7]

Same for me, lol. The Shadow Temple was just creepy enough in my opinion. But sometimes I look back and wonder how OoT received and E rating with that dungeon -- the blood splattered on the walls, creepy zombies that lurk in darkness and wrap themselves around you sucking your health (seriously, I've never seen more desperate zombies), signs of torture chambers, and you name it. The Shadow Temple's given me nightmares, but it's only for that reason that I love it so much! I've never seen any other video game level so awesome that it gave me nightmares.

 

[zaneebaslave]

Thats true. And I've played Fatal Frame, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and even played my way through the flash game of "House." And The Shadow Temple was the only thing that ever gave me a nightmare.

 

[Vlade]

For me it would have to be windwaker, it was just such a fresh zelda game to me. I really enjoyed the storyline and events that happened outside of the dungeon gameplay.

Twilight princess was also good though, I especially liked playing it on HD

Windwaker: 9.5/10
Twilight Princess: 8/10

Both great games to me

 

[Slayer's Legend]

I liked WW the most, but also I love TP. In WW I felt like I was into something new with the big sea to explore.
I also heard somewhere that the graphic engine was the same for both games but I dunno if is really that way.

 

[lanky_gunner]

Twilight Princess by far. It played like Ocarina of Time, and OoT is my favorite game of all time. Well, tied with Twilight Princess, I guess.

WindWaker was fun, but I think the whole sea travel, getting the Triforce pieces, and things like lack of dungeons turned me off on it being a super great Zelda game. It's a great Zelda game, just not super great.

Plus, TP has you riding a dragon for a boss fight, and the dragon looks like Ridley. Epic win. And you're a Wolf. Epic win 2x.

 

[Kantō]

TP was way better and is a far more challenging game than WW.
i seriosly didnt die once through WW, im not bragging, just saying that was kinda dissapointing.

 

[professor mgw]

TP is much better, better graphics, bad guys bosses, story.

 

[adrian Blk]

im gonna have to go with windwaker, much better story and more replay value,WAY better music.

windwaker 9.0/10
twilight princess 7.5/10
