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?

I loved BotW.

I wanted to love TotK. It brought some very welcome quality of life improvements, a darker side of Hyrule, new mechanics, and more spaces to explore. I appreciated all these things, and enjoyed it for a while, but ended up getting bored and wandering off.

Despite all that it brings to the table, TotK feels repetitive and uninspired to me. It didn't draw me in. It didn't make me care about anything. Every time I pick it up again, I get bored again, and leave. I usually end up starting another BotW play-through, and having fun all the way to the end. (Edit: The DLC's Trial of the Sword was a good challenge that I intend to repeat, too.)

I vote +1 for Breath of the Wild.
