Uh, not really? It's the most puzzle-heavy game in the series, which is why I love it so much. Skyward Sword HD? Yes, please!

The puzzles were fantastic. I hope they add normal controlls to the motion controlls.

As long as it has both I'm happy. Can't go wrong with improved motion controls (Because of the Joycon) + regular controls for those who prefer it.

The were less dungeons in SS than in previous games before BOTW it had the least amount of dungeons after ST they were just more intricate than previous games most of the events in SS took place outside of them:

ST - 6
SS - 7
TP - 10
WW - 9
OOT - 12
MM - 10
ALTTP - 10 (11 in DX)
ALBW - 12
PH - 8
LOZ - 9

Focusing content outside of dungeons is less focus on dungeons :/

That's my whole point the game had dungeons but the main bulk of content regarding playing through the game was outside of them where as other games it was only centred around the dungeons, that's reducing focus on dungeons and placing it on the game world itself as that's the foundation of what lead to BOTW removing them as mandatory points in the game and just having the game world carry most of the content.

I am sure that they wont remove motion controls. 

I didn't even find OOT to match up with the scope, scale, and quality of Final Fantasy VII. 

I once did a category by category breakdown (Audio, visual, fidelity, length, controls, side content, variety of content, etc), and OOT only won in the 'fun factor' category.  FFVII's world was bigger,t he story was longer and better written, there were more and better developed characters, more things to do, and the shoddy controls hurt FFVII less because it was turn-based. And the game came out a year earlier. 

You COULD argue that OOT had the more iconic and memorable music, but it also had some godawful tracks (Forest temple, anyone?) whereas FFVII was good or great all around. I'd also say One Winged Angel is better than anything in OOT. but music preferences are purely subjective. 

I do agree that OOT was ambitious and it succeeded in many ways, but I think many games - even ones within its own franchise - have done better before and since. LTTP had more dungeons and mastered the 'two-worlds' mechanic better while also pioneering the game structure. Twilight PRincess did everything OOT did but better. Wolf link is more engaging than old/young link. Midna is better than Navi, and while I do agree the opening was torturous, the actual game has more content, a bigger world, and better graphics. 

Then again, outside of JRPGs and a few sidescrolling games as well as a handful of others (like MarioKart), I felt the entire 5th generation was pretty much trash. A huge stepping point in gaming but one that hasn't held up well at all.  

I recently went back and installed 2000 NES games, 790 SNES games, and 50 N64 games on my phone and I've been having a blast playing SNES games but can't be bothered to play N64 or NES games. N64 games are clunky and unrefined while NES games are too simple to be engaging outside of a handful of classics. 

I really like Skyward Sword; it has its issues, but its fantastic dungeons and the motion-plus powered swordplay made it a strong 8/10 in my book. I'm always flip-flopping between it and Twilight Princess for the #3 spot in my "best Zelda games" list.

That said, I don't buy games I already own, so I'll pass on Skyward Sword HD. If I wanted to replay it, I have a perfectly functional Wii version.

I would like Skyward Sword to have a second chance. The game gets maligned a little too much in my opinion. While I have not finished it yet, I think Skyward Sword is a quality game that can be appreciated for what it attempted to do. I somewhat get the criticism of the game being too linear and some having issues with the motion controls (though I had no real issue with them when I played), but the puzzles were pretty good and I liked the more-focused gameplay and story it provided. Zelda in Skyward Sword gave me more of a reason to save her, being Link's close friend and hinted (?) love interest. The SS and BoTW versions of Zelda are the two best in my opinion, with Tetra and OoT Zelda being close second. Hopefully, this comes true in one way or another.

How do you get to 10 dungeons in MM? It really only has 5, 6 I guess because you could count Ikana Castle. For 10, you’d need to at least count Pirate Fortress and Deku Palace which I’d say are sketchy to count, because then you can count Lanayru Desert or some other puzzle area in Skyward Sword as well. Then you’re at 8. So the last two are the Skulltula Houses? Those aren’t dungeons as far as I’m concerned. Wind Waker at 9 is also being generous
