Twilight Princess is one of the most unique Zelda games in my opinion, the Wolf Link sections are incredibly hit or miss, but the gameplay is the best of what you'll get out of the mainline 3D Zelda games before the series shifted direction after this game.
The story has a much heavier focus in this game, to a little bit of its detriment. It's the most linear Zelda game of the mainline series, exploration isn't as exciting or grand as the other games, but I think the world design and visuals make up for at least a bit of that lost feeling of adventure.
The werewolf sections can get very tedious at times but other times it can be fun and a nice break from the typical Zelda gameplay. The combat is the best it's ever been with different sword techniques to learn, enemies with mechanics you have to figure out that aren't too annoying, and exciting visuals to go along with it, it makes it a very fun game to play.
Twilight Princess I think still holds up very well compared to the others, in my personal opinion I like it more than OOT, but its more linear style is understandably unappealing to some fans of the series.

Phantom Hourglass is a game that I think gets a lot more hate than it deserves. The touch controls and other gimmicky DS things in this game aren't great, it's not offensively terrible. The gameplay stays pretty simple throughout the entire thing, save except a few specific times in the game that the touch controls are extremely annoying.

The dialogue in the game is actually funny at times, and Linebeck is one of my favorite Zelda characters. I feel like if you can get past the DS gimmicks that there is a good game to enjoy here, but it's also nothing exceptional either, especially since Wind Waker did the same concept much better.
