In my opinion Wind Waker is the greatest game ever created. So, I'd get that one. Metroid Prime is pretty amazing though, I must admit. It depends on what kind of games you like, I suppose.

if you want an adventure game: Windwaker

if you want an FPS: Metroid Prime.

or do what i would do and get both.

(Windwaker is my Favorite of the two... so thats my recommendation...)

You need both. Dude! You need both. Not having Wind Waker and Metroid Prime when you can play GC games is a crime.

Wind Waker, definitely. Both games have great atmosphere, but Wind Waker takes the top. Great nostalgic Zelda narrative, awesome art direction, slick gameplay. Metroid Prime doesn't age quite as well graphically, and the frenetic gameplay with respawning roomfuls of enemies didn't do it for me so much. There is the fact that I am a long-time Zelda fan, and Metroid has never been my favorite franchise.... but w/e, get WW and I don't think you'll regret it.

I'm not a huge fan of the Metroid Prime series so I would have to say Wind Waker.

The two games can easily be considered the best on the console. So, considering that both games are equally fantastic from a pure unbiased standpoint, your going to have to go by genre/series preference. If you're a big Metroid fan, you'll love MP. If you're an avid Zelda player, you'll love WW. If you're even partially into FPS's, and a fan of action adventure-games, and like the idea of combining the two, good chance you'll like MP. If you're a fan of story-oriented pseudo-RPG 3rd person action-adventure games, good chance you'll like WW. You get the idea.

WW and MP are the two best GCN games I've experienced on the console. but if I really had to choose, I'd go with Metroid Prime. The bosses are just insanely awesome.

Seriously if you dont get both you dont deserve a gamecube. Also hunt down a copy of Animal Crossing and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and MP2 and you will have all the games the Gamecube has to offer.

I ahave to go with the people saying that if you do not get both you are cheating yourself. If you can only get one at a time I would personally say prime,but get the other on later. They are both sterling entrys in their respective franchises.

Definitely get Wind Waker, and while you're getting it, pick up Resident Evil 4.

Wind Waker. You can't go wrong with either one, but WW is one of my favourite games ever, (so is MP, but not as much)

I'd go with Wind Waker just because I found Metroid Prime's controls unwieldy.

It's hard to say. Metroid Prime is easily the BEST of the Metroid games released in 3D (and it is my favorite Metroid game ever). But Wind Waker is the deepest Zelda game, with the best, most fleshed out story, and the deepest combat. It's also my fave Zelda game. They're both good, and they both hold up well and I can't pick one over the other. Sorry. :P

I say Wind Waker if you're only getting one of the two. Both great titles, but I preferred Wind Waker. And it will keep you busy much longer.

Metroid Prime by a country mile.

Wind Waker is a good game, but not in the same league with Metroid Prime.

oops sorry, I posted previous.

I'd have to say Prime and RE4 are the best GC has to offer, Eternal Darkness is next.
