I absolutely love Skyward Sword. As a matter of fact, it's my favourite 3D Zelda. Not my favourite overall Zelda, but definitely my fav 3D Zelda.
I'm really surprised this didn't land at #1. I'm really curious as to what IS #1 now...
But yeah, SS had me feeling like a little kid from beginning to end. Reminded me a lot of when I played ALttP so long ago. Everything from the art design, the motion control mechanics, dungeon layouts, and even the parts that some of you guys consider "padding" were all thoroughly enjoyable. I especially loved the Silent Realm portions as they were quite intense and made me very nervous and anxious as I plotted through them. Loved it. As far as the sword mechanics go, I don't wanna play another Zelda game without them. Seriously. I could see them being even more fine-tuned on the Wii U, which would lead to an even smoother experience than what SS offered - and SS's were great! Bomb rolling was especially fantastic. Very fluid movement there - you can tell it was ripped right out of Wii Sports bowling. Again, loved it.
If another Zelda using Motion+ is created for Wii U, I'd like to see the GamePad used in its "stand" position as a Map/Inventory screen - maybe even using the pointer to point AT the GamePad screen to select weapons/items. It does have a IR built-in after all. Either way, I'm sure the next Zelda is going to be another brilliant addition.
Very pleased to see SS at the #2 spot.
