Just me thinking here. It's hard to think of these two Zelda games without thinking about the divide. Both were very successful though, commercially and critically. I was just wondering what it would be like if these games were given the same treatment the Oracle games were and released on the same day. Which would do better? If they worked like the Oracle games would it matter? Imagine if they worked together in the exact same way the Oracle games did and say the connection between them was that Link continues his journey in the other game through some kind of dimensional swap thing. Farm boy Link would be confused that he suddenly has a family and islander Link would suddenly be confused that there's no sea around him. They'd play out their second adventure and go home.
What other incentive might there be for this to happen? Well let's say you played Twilight Princess to the end. You could then start Wind Waker and it would have the graphical style of Twilight Princess! It would work vice versa too! This would break the divide! Actually that's kind of a 'maybe'. But even if it didn't break the divide everyone in each camp would buy both games and this would mean higher sales! Marketing this feature could be a bit tricky though...
Skyward Sword seems like it could have the best of both worlds in terms of graphics and that's what I would hope for.
