Do You Still Love BotW? (self.zelda)

A lot of people seem to feel that TotK is so much better than BotW, in so many ways, that playing BotW any more would feel almost pointless.

While I can understand that, TotK is truly amazing in almost every way, I find myself missing BotW.

I miss that desolate feeling, the Guardian induced anxiety, and the difficulty of a lot of BotW that I feel is missing from TotK.

BotW and TotK are the 2 sides of a single coin, neither complete without the other.

I'm already looking forward to another playthrough of both games! (only 68% so far on TotK still!)

I bought BotW together with a used but relatively new Switch about three months after launch. I just finished BotW today after having purchased Totk a couple of days ago with "more than 255h" on the clock as my switch tells me. Though you can subtract 80 for the first attempt after wich i paused and restarted. So i had an on/off relationship with BotW for six years and only the release of it's sequel finally pushed me to finish it. It took me so long not because i didn't like it. On the contrary as my playtime counter gives away. But just because it's so goddamn big. When totk came out i bought it and thought "well lemme just quickly finish botw so i can get to totk" before spending another 30ish hours in that game. I know i'd feel empty now if it wasn't for totk allowing me to basically jump into "botw 2" immediatly. I think it''s telling that after so much time spent in this world i still can''t wait to jump into totk right after killing ganon. Excitied to see what they did to this world that i know in and out in 6 years of development time.
