Zelda BotW vs TotK - which one should I buy? (feddit.uk)

I can only afford the time to play one of them, which one should I play?

Many YouTubers seem to prefer BotW. But most reviews say TotK improves nearly everything.

I prefer easier combat and less complexity. Is there one that would be more enjoyable for me?

See my answer above for my personal take on this. TotK is a bigger, longer game with far more things to do, but in filling the delicate emptiness that's at the heart of BotW, they also made TotK... mundane. Greater, by most metrics. But mundane.

When I played TotK, I enjoyed myself a lot, then moved on to the next item on my pile.

When I played BotW, I experienced something unique, and it stuck with me since.

EDIT: Folks, maybe don't downvote OP just because you disagree with them? They opened an interesting discussion and I for one am glad for it.
