If you want a fun game with great story telling, BOTW wins for me, unlocking all of the story required exploration and learning the map in a way that TOTK ignored.

If you want more robust fighting mechanics and a world that 2x bigger and a sandbox creative mode for the last 1/3 of the game, TOTK wins.

We also have a chronic disposition toward optimism. You know “the American dream” and all that.

So a disease with a 10% mortality rate has a 90% survival rate. And 90% is bigger than 50%, so when you factor in chronic optimism it’s basically a 100% survival rate in our brains.
