Wind Waker was better

1. Better art direction
2. Better comedy (I bet you can still picture that scene where Link is hurled in the fortress by catapult)
3. Better beginning to the second act (admit it, scaling that fortress is better than Gandondorf showing up, stealing your trinkets and turning the world into an apocalyptic hell-scape off screen while an old dude dumps exposition on you and you now have no items)
4. Zelda actually has a role in Wind Waker (no, that Sheik nonsense doesn't count, s/he didnt do anything but hand out songs and lazily build up a twist)

The boat traveling may be tiresome but so was that obnoxiously huge over-world in OoT

Now that doesn't mean OoT is a bad game. Most of the advantages I listed are only possible because of the technology that simply wasnt available on the n64. And they basically have the same gameplay (hack-slash combat, puzzle solving dungeons and boss-shaped puzzle challenges).

I still love the idea of the Spirit temple though.

The one that Twilight Princess tried to trump but still just barely lost, in my opinion. Wind Waker is a great game. I was very moved with the ending. But nope.

Still the best game of all time.

And I think it still holds up well. While the graphics aren't amazing for it's time today, they were still pretty damn good for not requiring an expansion pack for one, and the progressive scan version with the Wind Waker bonus disc definitely gives it a little kick.

The gameplay held up too since essentially the gameplay is still the same now and probably will be since they found the format that works on their first try.

This also reminds me I still need to finish Majora's Mask fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

You'd probably hate the Twilight Princess overworld then if that's the case. The overworld there is HUGE.

I had no idea Zelda was known for comedy.

As for the original question asked, yes, I believe that it does hold up to this day.
