The Okami series is super underrated. It's adventurous like The Legend of Zelda with its own twists. I didn't expect the sequel to top the first game, but ohmygosh it has. The use of a stylus in Okamiden far exceeds using analogs for brush techniques...
...and instead of playing a dog, you take on the role of a puppy. A PUPPY. And instead of having Issun-- the often-irritating bug-equivalent to Navi from OoT-- follow you around, you get the son of Susano(from the first game). Major upgrade.
Now go find a cheap used copy of either game and play it!
