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?

    It is the time that I can’t afford, not the cash. It is not about playing them at the same time, it is just that it takes me months to finish just a single long game, and there are too many long games I want to play before I die.

    I still haven’t finished Skyrim which I started playing on PS3.

      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.

        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.
