Please tell me Zelda: Wind Waker is better than Phantom Hourglass...

Okay so I've recently gotten a GameCube, and I wanted to get into the Zelda games I haven't played, specifically Wind Waker.

Now, in the hopes of not getting in trouble for posting out of system wars (...), I had a DS a few years ago, and the first game I had for it was Phantom Hourglass. I thought it was GREAT. The art style was amazing and beautiful, the stylus worked wonders for gameplay, yadda yadda... but then after a few hours I realized that it was NOT the Zelda experience I had come to know and love.

The level design was too easy, the puzzles were too simple...and don't get me started on having to repeat the same dungeon over and over, as I know that has been the spark of many a Zelda discussion on here already.

My point is, knowing what I know about the DS version, if I play Wind Waker, am I going to be disappointed?

Wind Waker is great and i think it is better than phantom hourglass Wind Waker has a better story.

It's a lot better. Phantom Hourglass had no depth, no strategy, and truthfully, no fun. It wasn't a real Zelda game. Wind Waker, on the other hand, was a fantastic game.

There is no comparison.

Wind waker is one of the best Zeldas, Phantom Hourglass is one of the worst.

Not saying PH is bad (it certainly isn't as bad as some of these posters are making it out to be)

but WW is leagues better.

Wind Waker is my favourite Zelda game, I cant recommend it more highly.

No worries because WW is definitely a great zelda game, Phantom Hourglass is one of the weakest zelda games IMO and i feel the same way as you do about it.

Thanks for the responses, everyone. That actually makes me pretty excited to play it now. I was worried that it was more of a simpleton version of Zelda, and apparently from you guys, it's far from it.

Out of all the Zelda games I have played, Phantom Hourglass is the worst. Windwaker is a much better game imo. The only drawback about the game could be the sailing. But that really depends upon what your preferences are. If your really into exploration in games, then you may enjoy it.
