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?

Apologies for my scatterbrain. In that case I’d go with BotW because it’s shorter/focused (others will say it’s too minimalist) and you’ll get to experience a modern Zelda game. Also, if you don’t own Switch 2 it runs good enough while TotK was just a bit too much for Switch 1.

Eh, TOTK runs fine on my Switch OLED, though it's less fun in handheld mode (I almost exclusively play on TV).

Shorter/focused sounds good. And yes I only have a Switch Lite and I am unlikely to get a Switch 2.

Thanks for your suggestions, very helpful.

Totk ran fine for me on the switch. I guess some parts had lag, but I can’t remember having any serious performance issues.

Everyone has different cutoffs for what performance is acceptable to them. I thought TOTK was fun but the low resolution and regular FPS dips made me realise I'd rather wait for the switch 2 to experience it properly.
