A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

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?

If you want a fun game with great story telling, BOTW wins for me, unlocking all of the story required exploration and learning the map in a way that TOTK ignored.

If you want more robust fighting mechanics and a world that 2x bigger and a sandbox creative mode for the last 1/3 of the game, TOTK wins.

Thanks. Sounds like BotW is my type.
