I know some people prefer slightly more realistic graphics, but the stylized art in Wind Waker is just part of what makes it my favorite. That's not even including the great story line in that game. I'm sort of playing through OoT 3D right now, but it's sort of on hold for school, and will probably remain there for November, what with school <em>and</em> 50,000 words to write.

Such a wonderful game, playability and storywise. I am once again two dungeons away from completing Twilight Princess. I love the game, but the Twilight Realm is a bit much, and HARD :). Is the 3D Ocarina worth buying the 3DS? There are a few other reasons to upgrade, but to play Ocarina is the main reason I am really thinking about it.

Though they added some things, they changed the Water Temple completely (and made it easier) and that was enough to deter them.
