Still Playing? (Zelda Edition)

What Zelda games are you still playing?

I have clocked Phantom Hourglass twice ( and a half). I finished Twilight Princess 4 times. What Now?
Phantom Hourglass can be played after you've beat it. The same way as most Zeldas. You beat the last boss, it resets to the part before, you battle it, and then you can do what you want. Sam with Twilight Princess. But!
Which offers more replayability?

Phantom Hourglass gives you the option of collecting ship parts.
While this sounds fun, it only takes about an hour and a half to collect them all. You could try and find all of the gems. But that means you'll have to reset the game if you miss any.

Twilight Princess gives you more options.

You could collect bugs. But there are so many it would take ages to get them all. But at least you get rewarded by the bug lady.

Fishing is a better option. OK so it costs money but who cares.
Fishing controls work great, but if you don't have the patience, it won't be that fun for you.

If you go into the hut near the fishing hole, you can play the rolling ball game.
It costs 5 rupees per go.
Tilting the Wii Remote to move the course works great (most of the time)
I got up to the last level, and never beat it.

There is a rapid ride game (shoot the balloons without hitting anything to get a heart piece), the clawshot game ( Clawshot your way around a cage to collect the glowing orbs. Win and get a larger quiver.) and a few others.

In both Zelda games there is also the option of collecting heart pieces, but this can be a hard task without a strategy guide.

So there you have it, two Zelda games explored to the max to squeeze every bit of fun out of them.

Are you still playing them?
