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?

Breath of the Wild blew me away emotionally. It felt like Zelda 1 made in modern times to me.

TotK was like a remix with more stuff to do, but I'd already played BotW so a samey sequel didn't impact me as powerfully. I still played the entire thing and loved it, this may sound more negative than it really is.

I think if I could only play one and hadn't played either before, I'd go TotK.

I'm not a fan of BOTW because it doesn't feel like a Zelda game, but a Zelda-themed open world adventure game. TOTK is a better sandbox game, and everything except the abilities and puzzles feel strictly better (though I've only done 15 or so), and the puzzles kinda sucked in BOTW anyway.

I don't recommend either to Zelda fans, but I would recommend TOTK over BOTW for someone considering getting one. If you'll eventually play both, play BOTW first.
