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?
That’s a good question, since it doesn’t have a trivial answer. Zelda is basically three or four different types of games in a
trench coattunic.There’s the open world adventure that the original Zelda established, which is probably best represented by BotW.
There’s the 2D tile-based action puzzler, the quintessential of which is probably LttP.
There’s the 3D “interconnected small rooms”, which got its start with OoT and was so successful that to this day players are arguing that the newest two games are not really Zelda even though they stick to the original concept much more closely.
Finally, there’s Adventure of Link.
