Early 2000s were full of ups and downs for me, but mostly ups. Really good games on some of my favorite consoles like the GameCube and PS2. Metroid Prime and Wind Waker on your list are great. Other GameCube favorites of mine include Animal Crossing, Smash Bros. Melee, Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2, Luigi's Mansion, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, and so much more. PS2 had a lot of good ones, too, like Taiko Drum Master, Mr. Driller, Klonoa 2, Katamari Damacy, etc. Even the N64 and PSOne had a few good stragglers like Banjo-Tooie and The Misadventures of Tron Bonne. And the GBA launched, too. So many great things on that.
