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?

It took me so many attempts to get into BotW. It’s so big and scattered and just never hooked me. When it finally did I was happy I had to play very purposely I had 5 goals and just beelined each one. Get the master sword, kill the 5 bosses. Done. I didn’t do any side quests and I’ve never gone back to it. I had 95 hours in TotK in like a month which is crazy for me. Game is amazing and I did a lot more in it. I think combat is about the same. I do think TotK may be more complicated but you can simply not engage with the features you don’t want to.

I will say though TotK hits better after BotW

I haven't tried it myself. But, if time is your main constraint, and if a switch emulator has it, save states may be really helpful. Saving during the middle of a boss or puzzle can be a time saver. Restarting in the middle of a boss fight or puzzle so you don't have to return to the beginning each time you screw up.

You don’t need an emulator to suspend and resume a game. Just press the power button on the switch and you can get back to exactly where you were. That makes things easier but doesn’t magically give me more time to play.

I think both are kind of donkey shit, but TOTK is, clearly, better.

Totk is like an actual game, while BOTW is merely a tech demo.

I simply do not understand how anyone can prefer BOTW to TOTK.
