No. Ocarina is way better than wind waker
Marginally better at best. WW is still a must play.

It’s the best game I’ve ever played. Enjoy!

Is it completable? And are all the side missions / secret stuff easy enough to find?

I’ve had to resort to using walkthrough guides in the past

This seems like its far beyond that

You guys would be disturbed if you knew the sexy thoughts I have about Link.

He’s a little hottie

No. Ocarina is way better than wind waker
I never played Ocarina on the 64 so when I tried to play it again on the GC collection, or on the DS, or on the virtual console, I always drop off before I get out of the first area. And when I say first area, I mean where you wake up and start the game. I just can't get into the controls or the graphics. Weird.

And I've beaten Wind Waker twice.

It is comparable. There is stuff everywhere. Dungeons, Shrines, Sidequests, Koroks, upgrades...

I prefer Wind Waker too. Ocarina set the standard, but some others took the formula and did more interesting things with it.

I should know from Star Wars clone wars and rebels that aesthetic means nothing if the story is there

For some reason the cartoon Zelda game, as highly regarded as it is, just doesn’t interest me

The series' best stories are told through exploration, not in cutscenes. I think that is why Breath of the Wild and The Wind Waker are the standouts of the 3D games. I've never played Majora's Mask though.

Lads I saw two small clip on chargers for the controllers today. Should I get them?
Are they necessary? I’d be one for sitting down with Zelda for hours n hours

Pro Controller. It’s a great controller, plus, I thought the Joycons were too small.

I was looking at those!
There’s another Plastic thing same shape that they clip into.
I’m guessing it’s probably better to get the controller proper

It comes with the Joycon controller thing. I found it to be a bit cramped.
