I loved the silent realms... except for being forced to watch eyes light up every single time I got caught in a spotlight or something. I'd use those 5 seconds wasted to imagine how much better that could've be if we got to control Link and run the hell away while watching in real time as the monsters came to life and the spotlight-ghost thing freaked out all around us.
Also trust me, I'd play TP, but I am cripplingly arachnophobic, and those things that drop down on you in the 2nd and 6th dungeons have some particular elements that trigger my phobia particularly badly and make the game impossible for me to beat. I honestly really want to play it; I've seen a lot of the game one way or another, but the phobia gets in the way. Thankfully, SS' art style (and amazing choice to make the "Thousand-year Arachnid" a fairly tame scorpion, unlike the terrors that are New Vegas' Radscorps) kept this game's Skultullas mild enough for me. >_> Though I still did not appreciate when one of those things hopped on Link and started humping him...
ST and PH though I'll never play for just the sake of f*** the gameplay. I've despised PH (and by proxy ST) from the moment I heard about the game being touch controlled the way it is rather than functioning like a traditional 2D Zelda.
