Triforce Heroes is a more traditional Zelda experience, but you really need some friends to play it with, much like Four Swords. You CAN play it with strangers, but frankly that sort of thing hasn't been fun for me for a while now.
Hyrule Warriors is the first Dynasty Warriors game I ever picked up, so the experience was new to me. The gameplay really is pretty straight forward, without a lot of the thinking you need to do in a proper Zelda game, but it's good fun in other ways. Higher difficulties actually give a sense of danger, so I play it on that.
Marin is an interesting choice. I guess she'll sing songs and KILL THE CHICKEN!, (She's got that weird dark side) and maybe even have a pet chain chomp weapon. I agree that the Link's Awakening art is better to me, though this different interpretation is pretty close. It's a lot closer than some character designs anyway.
I also have to say that the old NES era illustrations for Link have really grown on me. Check this out:

This illustration actually managed to make Link carrying around everything from sword and shield to a raft and an entire ladder actually look possible. It's become one of my favorite illustrations of Link.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
