Link turning into a wolf.......is not really a very good reason for wanting the game. I know the game attracted a lot of wolfaboos because of that, but honestly that's only a small part of the game and a shallow reason to buy it in the first place. Allow me to try and offer a better argument in Twilight Princess's favor:
I really enjoyed how large the overworld was, despite how empty it turned out to be as a result. It offered areas to explore (though I wish it had more) and I loved the different atmosphere each part of the world offered. The color palettes were very nice, especially in Zora's domain, and I like the amount of detail put into each character and setting piece. People argue that Twilight Princess was 'brown', but I really only noticed that in the main part of Hyrule Field. The rest of the areas seemed colorful enough to me, especially considering that the main plot in the game involved darkness trying to engulf everything.
I also enjoyed some of the mechanics that the game offered while you were playing as a wolf, like the special 'wolf sense'. And the Twilight world was cool while it lasted. I wish that part of the game had been larger.
Also, the spinner was great fun. When you could use it.
Twilight Princess definitely isn't the best Zelda game, but it's also not the worst by a long shot. And like I said before, it's a favorite for me because it served as part of my gateway to the series.
Midna was a pretty cool character, too. I loved her sassy attitude.
