Worst Zelda? Possibly. Best motion controlled game ever? Definitely.
I got the game the Wednesday after it released, played it for a couple of hours, and never wanted to play it again. I picked it up a month later. Once I got over my hatred for the controls (and Kikwi), I began to love the game. It doesn't compare to the first time I played Link to the Past, or that magical moment when I stepped into 3D Hyrule for the first time. It doesn't match the overall polish and epic boss fights of Twilight Princess (and Fi can't hold a candle to Midna in the awesome sidekick department) but I found the game to be extremely enjoyable. It's like a mishmash of all of the great things I liked about Zelda in the past.
- Cartoony art style like Wind Waker
- Amazing music (like pretty much all of the Zelda games)
- Breaks new ground like OoT
- Great story like Twilight Princess
- Light/Dark wold like Link to the Past
- much more but you get the idea
In the end, it's a Zelda game. That means that we get what we expect to get from the series. I'm not going to buy a Call of Duty game and get pissed because there is no racing section. I'm not going to buy Street Fighter and dislike the lack of puzzle segments. I'm not going to dislike Skyward Sword for being a Zelda game, either. I had too much fun with it.
