TWW's cast didn't have the same sort of charisma that OoT's cast had, but I would say that the writing for the characters has improved from OoT to TWW (for instance, the dialogue has less heavy exposition and more personality in it). And TP's writing, from what little bits I've seen of it in the demo, seems to be improving on TWW's, with characters that are a little less cliched and a little more genuine. In general I'd say the writing in TWW>the writing in MM>the writing in OoT. And most likely the writing for the 3D Zeldas will continue improving with TP.
And I have to add that Ganondorf and Daphnes were exceptional characters, on the same level as Marin in terms of depth and genuineness. (Not to mention all the symbolism and themes associated with them.)
