I just finished Skyward Sword HD (haven't touched the original for years, and I am still on a bit of a zelda kick after finishing the TP manga) and oh my lord is it goddamn incredible I have no idea why I dropped it the first time. The entire thing was just fantastic, the gameplay, the dungeons, the artsyle, the story - I actually think this might be my favourite Zelda even with considering recency bias an all.
I feel bad dogging on TOTK and BOTW even more than everyone already has, but with TOTK especially, they just have such a lack a soul compared to 3D zelda before. The final part from when Ghirahim takes zelda and then you have to sprint down while attack by the horde followed by two outstanding fights has more energy then any part of the switch games.
Actually that's one more thing I'll lament about, is the fact the Nu-Zelda doesn't feel like a fairytale anymore like the previous ones did.
(btw the imprisoned fights are actually fun and they get better with each round, but people wouldn't complain so much if; 1. 2nd and 3rd fights were more spaced out, and 2. they actually tried different ways of takin him down instead of blindly hacking at the toes - like using the grooseinator to stun him or jumping down on top of him from a higher ledge, or even using the bow to destroy the toes)
