My problem with Skyward Sword from what I remember was that each enemy needed to be hit in a different specific way, so each individual enemy was a mini puzzle in itself. At the time I wasn’t interested in something like that and I missed being able to just run up to a few baddies and slash through them. Plus, I didn’t have enough room to properly use the wii mote plus and it kept desyncing every minute. I should give the remake a try.
Skyward Sword’s 1st dungeon is the one dungeon I think of when I try to discern what “atmospheric” means.
Overall TP is a superior game to SS imo. But I played the original version of each; I hear SS had some big issues addressed in the port.

I like it so far, though the “hit enemies a specific way” is still kind of annoying. But it’s a unique mechanic and doesn’t feel overused, and there aren’t a ton of enemies (at least not yet).
I’m using the joystick, so the movements are pretty quick to do. But attacking in a specific way is very much a large part of the game.

Yeah, the first dungeon really feels like a nod to older games, while also showing that it’s something else entirely. It’s also interesting that it’s a “water temple,” but not really. Everything in the game screams that it’s a Zelda game, but different, and it fits really well.
So far it’s not my favorite, but it feels really good coming from Breath of the Wild.
I’m still probably going to prefer ALttP, Minish Cap, OoT, and TLoZ, but I’m glad SS exists. Now I need to pay the rest of the GC and Wii games.
