    There's a thread at the top where you're supposed to ask this question...

    Anyway, get both =P.

    Okami's a very unique game with a lot to do and decent Wii remote controls. It's lengthy and charming. The art style is incredible and it's a lot of fun.

    Twilight Princess is also a lengthy adventure with lots of puzzle solving, good controls, and epic (but really easy) boss fights. The game is easier than you'd want but it's still great. It also has a severe shortage of sidequests.

    I coudn't decide between them either.

    Okami's a bit more challenging. But barely. They're both fairly easy games.

    That doesn't stop them from being great though.

    Okami first, Twilight Princess second.


    Play both, though, because they're both a lot of fun.

    I have not played Okami yet but from what Iv seen and heard it looks like a very unique and good game. The art style looks awesome!

    I have played Twilight Princess and I definitely think its a must-buy if you haven't played Ocarina of Time. I had a lot of fun played TP and the time it will take you to finish it is epic!

    Both are really solid games. 
    Twilight Princess is the classic zelda formula you have come to now and love, but its formula is starting to show its age.  It does some cool stuff with the wii-mote, especially in fishing and with your bow and arrow, however you control your sword by just waggaling it back and forth and that feels really dumb. 

    Okami is really different.  The presentation is awesome, and the game has really good ideas, its just that the control is a little iffy on reckognizing your strokes which is sometimes frustrating.  It also has tacked on waggle.

    Both look good and are really long it really boils down to what you want.

    I think this is a pretty good assessment.  Except I would add that Okami's tacked on waggle can be fairly unresponsive in combat.
