Loved Skyward Sword.  I think the dungeon design is the best in the series.  Ancient Cistern and Sandship are especially brilliant. Also features the best boss fights.  And I think the items are the most fun to use.

The handholding is a thing, but really not enough to bother me.  And as for the motion controls, I really never had an issue, aside from the occassional need to recalibrate it.  Worked fine and made the combat more engaging.

I prefer the 3D entries to the 2D games, but among the 3D ones, my favorite is generally whichever one I played last.  Each of them is excellent

Yeah I really liked Skyward Sword as well, largely also thanks to its great level design (Sandship and Ancient Cistern were standouts for me as well) and motion-plus-powered swordplay.

About my only problems with it were that I found it visually underwhelming and hated the repeated Demise fights.

I thought the art design was lovely, but not a good match for an SD console.  The pointillism style really required smooth edges that Wii couldn't really produce. 

I get the idea behind the demise fights, but they should have done more to differentiate each one.  Also, it went from intimidating to looking goofy in its later forms.
