I played through Twilight Princess on the Cube last January. I really enjoyed it. The pacing seemed pretty good for a 20+ hour game. I didn't always know exactly what I needed to do next but it was fun figuring that sort of thing out for myself. Most games these days seem to hold your hand the entire way through. As with most Zelda games, the boss battles and puzzles are the highlights of the game.
I didn't really put too much focus on hunting for Poes, insects, or heart container pieces. Lots of them were easy to find but I imagine it's pretty tough to find every last one without a little outside assistance. I imagine that I'll play through the game again if I ever end up buying a Wii.
Having never finished LttP, OoT or WW, I was really just blown away by TP, and it's the only one I completed. The dungoens and puzzles were quite clever and fun, but I will admit that the last dungeon and the final boss battles were more of a chore than a pleasure. Still, TP is up there with FFIII as far as RPG experiences go.
Incidentally, I started playing WW again after I beat TP, and I was disappointed with the controls and the sailing -- ugh -- the sailing was a HUGE turn off.
BTW, when I restarted WW, I was surprised to find out that I had quit in the middle of the FIRST dungeon.

I had the same problem with Windwaker. Stylistically, it was nice, but the sailing made me put it down.
TP was fun, not LttP fun, but fun on its own. I firmly believe that if this game had come out under a different name and not as Zelda, it would get a very different review from a lot of people. That being said, I did as almost everyone here has done; I put it down for a few months and played other stuff, then picked it back up at first just to finish it (I'm like that with Mario Zelda, and Final Fantasy games, have to beat them all) but got into after that.
