I love BOTW because it was the first of its kind I came in contact with. TOTK feels like they came in and shored up every little snag I felt in BOTW. TOTK also now makes me feel like every cubic inch of Hyrule is full of story, detail, and life. TOTK feels like a lived-in world, with far more NPCs present to make it feel more like a living world and less like a post-apocalyptic deadland full of tiny settlements that Link has to grind through.
