That Nintendo chased the original Skyward Sword with Breath of the Wild makes complete sense in hindsight; Skyward Sword is a tightly crafted game, but after years of dungeons divvied up with fetch quests and plot dumps, the Zelda formula feels its age here. The idea of a shakeup honestly feels welcome to me now.
With that said, I adored Skyward Sword. It has some of the best dungeon designs in the entire series, and a wonderful art style and cast made it easy to feel engaged with Skyward Sword's happenings even during the game's occasional lulls.
I can't speak to the original Wii game's advanced motion controls and excessive use of Fi, but I really enjoyed my time with the game's remastered handheld successor.
