Having just completed the Switch version (and previously owning the original), I'd have to say yes.
Skyward Sword had always been my least favourite of the 3D Zeldas - thats not to say I did not enjoy the game, I just felt it fell short in some ways (not the story, that excelled in my opinion). However, BotW left me wishing for a return to linear Zelda and Skyward Sword has reminded me how much it works, especially with some of the improvements introduced in this version. I played the entire game without motion and felt it worked well, much like the original I think the sword mechanic adds an interesting twist to run of the mill enemy encounters.
Slightly off topic (and I know I'm in a minority) but I've got my fingers crossed for at least some linearity in BotW2 too.
