The only reason I finished it back on Wii in 2011 is because there was far less competition for great games back then. Had to take one when it came. Not so anymore. I'd have never put 40 hours into Skyward Sword if it released in the last 5-10 years. Just so many amazing games that are worth putting that kind of time into, why waste it on mediocre games.I played like 15 hours of it and got was waiting for the fun to kick in.
I tried it when it first came out, and again when it came to Switch.
I don't get it.
I can think of one standout dungeon in particular, the Ancient Cistern, I think? The rest I thought were fairly safe/ mediocre by Zelda standards. Which at the time, (when most of a Zelda game was the dungeons) was a very high bar.I actually think it might have the best dungeons of any Zelda game
The forced motion controls really never resonated with me. I found the pre-final boss fight with Ghirahim to be extremely difficult and required a high degree of mastering of the motion controls for the sword, and at that point I knew the game was basically done, so I just called it quits, & watched the true final boss fight on YouTube in HD. Absolutely zero desire to revist the game, ever. Typically with Zelda games, I want to replay them every few years. At least that has always been the case with OoT & WW. And TP to a much lesser extent.I got about halfway but never finish it. The controls didn't bother me at all, but there are a lot of annoying design decisions. Much preferred Twilight Princess.
I rarely if ever replay games, but with SS I didn't even have the desire to finish it, which is very rare for me and a Zelda game. I've completed nearly every game in the franchise, but got bored of this one.The forced motion controls really never resonated with me.

It is better than Tears of the Kingdom
