Skyward Sword came out in celebration of Zelda's 25th anniversary to begin with. It's the best game in the series, so it's fitting for it to also celebrate the 35th, and it deserves this remaster in its 10th anniversary too.

Disagree. The worst Zelda ever, sales are awful (and have Wii sales potential), is not critical acclaimed ( Zelda ooT and Botw are the mvps here's), its not revolutionary ( first Zelda, Zelda OoT and BotW). Don't have the true overwold( the core of franchise), Aonuma, in the early stages trys to remove link sword( you can research this). 

A Zelda I and Zelda II remake was glorious. 

Launched at the end of the system, which diminishes sales potential. Second Zelda games pretty much always sell worse, see Majora's Mask, Spirit Tracks. Also required the Wiimotion plus add on. More importantly, sales have no direct correlation to quality. I'm sure you could think of great games that bombed and shitty games that sold well. 

It has a metacritic score of 93. It was definitely critically acclaimed.

Don't care that it has no true overworld. Series conventions can be changed. Has the best dungeons and boss fights in the franchise IMO which offsets that. 

I don't know why on Earth it matters that Aonuma thought to remove the sword. Link does in fact have a sword. It's in the game's title. The gameplay is built around it.

Awesome game. Even if we agree for argument's sake that Twilight Princess and Wind Waker are better, those already have HD versions, so no need not to give this one that treatment.
