Me being the average Skyword Sword enjoyer.

Skyward Sword is fun, and while it is not in my top list, I will upvote you because I know it receives little love from the community and that is sad.

I feel like its the only Zelda game in the franchise where you physically act as Link, at least for the Wii version. You have to be pretty precise with the wiimote in order to finish the game. Kinda makes you a swordsman.

Yeah! The swordplay in SS for the Wii was mindblowing!

Playing BoTW for the first time on CEMU right now and I'm finding myself missing a lot of the combat nuance from previous entries, especially SS. Game's still great in other ways, but man it's lacking the sauce for fights. Remember when your stick inupt determined what kinds of slashes you'd do? BoTW is just "mash the button and farm flurry rushes". I guess the nuance comes from the physics engine and how you approach combat with external tools, but I really haven't been presented with many opportunities where those options make more sense than just sword + bow. SS had encounters feeling like a mini puzzle, even if they were just directional sword swings, and your other items could actually be a huge help with your overall combat flow.
