Skyward Sword has its issues but I don’t think it’s the worst Zelda game. I think that title typically goes to Zelda II (assuming we’re not included by the CD-i games). It’s a long time since I’ve played Skyward Sword, but the most egregious things I remember about it are the excessive hand-holding and repetitive boss fights. On the other hand, the story is infinitely better than BotW. There’s actual character development, much more interesting dungeon design and I enjoyed the RPG-lite equipment progression. In terms of moment-to-moment gameplay I still think BotW is more enjoyable, but both are great games overall.
