Comment on Zelda BotW vs TotK - which one should I buy?

TotK is better in every way but BotW is once in a lifetime experience due to how contemplative it can be. You’re not going to play both at the same time and they benefit from playing in order. If you’re low on cash buy some used copy of BotW off someone on Vinted* and sell on Vinted once done, then do Total.
* or Craiglist or OLX or whatever is used locally where you live

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.

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.

Eh, TOTK runs fine on my Switch OLED, though it’s less fun in handheld mode (I almost exclusively play on TV).
