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?
TotK definitely improves upon everything in BotW, but that doesn’t mean BotW isn’t a masterpiece on it’s own.
doomcanoe has explained it well, I think for you, BotW is the way to go.
Though, just to be clear, you can’t go wrong with either option. It’s like choosing between two of my favourite ice cream flavours and I can only have one. 😀
