It depends on whether or not BOTW introduced you to Zelda or not. If you're all about the "go anywhere and do anything", you'll be disappointed in the linearity of this game and the comparatively small overworld.

However, if you grew up with the classic Zelda's like me and found the lack of proper dungeons in BOTW disappointing, you'll LOVE the dungeons in Skyward Sword. Some of the best dungeons in the franchise. IMO, they more than make up for the linear overworld, and especially if you love the 3D Zeldas like Ocarina, Majora's mask and Twilight Princess, you'll enjoy Skyward Sword.

I'd say just about every Zelda game is if you are into the franchise. There are different styles of games within it though. You have an world game like BOTW -- a formula that had not been seen since the original Zelda on the NES actually. Then you have the more traditional 3D action RPG in a non-open world. And also your top-down 2D style game like Link's Awakening for example. Kind of 3 distinct styles among the mainstream games in the franchise's lineage but all worth playing imo.

If you don't care for that style anymore it might be tough to go back to, but I prefer it and most other older Zelda games to BOTW.

Is this game worth it? After BOTW I feel like it will feel a lot more restricted without the open world aspect.

Won't let me use my $10 online rewards certificate. I've been saving it for a deal like this. Probably just buy it anyway it's still a good deal.

Lol I've been a Zelda fan since the original. Just BOTW introduced a whole new way to play so just wondering if going backwards will be tough. I might just get it then.

10 years later still being milked. Switch is really just filled with indie games and old ports.

Lots of people didn't even know there was a Wii/Wii U. It failed(Wii U) but was revolutionary to make the switch now. Imagine not being able to play Wii/Wii U games now, you would miss out on a lot of first-party games. Nintendo has been milking every generation but at least they are re-releasing good games. Some newer gen kids never got to experience these classic or Wii U games. There are plenty of games being HD/remastered from 20+ years ago. I would love to play WIi Punchout now on my Switch.
