I myself was ond-and-off with Skyward Sword for two months... partly due to the learning curve of MotionPlus, mostly because I had a metric crapton of other games to play (I love me some 3DS).
It didn't really click with me until roughly the halfway mark (Sandship was awesome), but the finale propelled it to the top of my favorite Zelda game list (and #3 on my top five favorite games). I can't help but look upon Skyward Sword very fondly, as it provided some of the most brilliant gameplay experiences the series has yet to see.
I also did all of the sidequests and found all of the Godess Cubes, and I never have done that in a Zelda game before.
