I haven't even played BG3 yet, but I wouldn't fault anyone for saying this. I lost a month and a half to TOTK and enjoyed every second. It fixed every gripe I had about BOTW, but that's kind of the problem as well. I always felt like BOTW was a glorified tech demo, and after playing TOTK, it felt more like the game BOTW should have been.

TOTK also has its own issues, especially with the story. The story just being told to you and not being something you're really experiencing was a weird choice. I was hoping for Ganondorf's involvement to be more than "it was me Link!" leading up to the final confrontation.

The final boss fight was an insanely awesome sequence though. Easily my favorite part of the game.

I agree with not really being a part of the story. You do play a part a little more in Totk, but it's still mostly watching cutscenes from the past again. Such a weird narrative to stick to.

Also, did you know that was the imprisoning war?

Secret stone? Demon king?

If they named them Sacred Stones the whole thing might be one tiny bit less cringe
