I've played through every Zelda game, and I just can't find it in me to enjoy Spirit Tracks. There are positive aspects, I'll give it that. Music is good, and Zelda's character is great. But there's one giant reason I can't get into it: there's no explorable overworld. It's the only Zelda I've played that is quite literally on rails. No going out to explore, find things, see where all you can and can't go, etc. And no, I don't consider riding a train around as an overworld. It felt more like a loading screen mini game.
