Skyward Sword HD is a nice improvement over the original and makes the game feel much more accessible if you'd prefer to use traditional controls. They've assigned the directional sword swings to the right stick which works really well and makes the whole situation feel a little less fussy. It's definitely the best way to experience the last of the legacy Zelda games, and I still hold that it has the best soundtrack and the best dungeons of any Zelda game. It's a more focused experience than other games in the franchise, with story beats hitting at a staccato pace and dungeons coming fast and frequently. I find it to be a refreshing change of pace after the countless hours spend wandering the quiet wilds. The whole game is packed character and heart. Sure, it's down the list on the best games in the franchise, but it's still a Zelda game which makes it a rung above just about everything else.
