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

Breath of the Wild blew me away emotionally. It felt like Zelda 1 made in modern times to me.
TotK was like a remix with more stuff to do, but I'd already played BotW so a samey sequel didn't impact me as powerfully. I still played the entire thing and loved it, this may sound more negative than it really is.
I think if I could only play one and hadn't played either before, I'd go TotK.

I’m not a fan of BOTW because it doesn’t feel like a Zelda game, but a Zelda-themed open world adventure game. TOTK is a better sandbox game, and everything except the abilities and puzzles feel strictly better (though I’ve only done 15 or so), and the puzzles kinda sucked in BOTW anyway.
I don’t recommend either to Zelda fans, but I would recommend TOTK over BOTW for someone considering getting one. If you’ll eventually play both, play BOTW first.

What makes a zelda game a zelda game then?

For me:
BOTW and TOTK miss all of that with the Divine Beasts/Temples being a poor substitute for dungeons.
My favorite Zelda games on Switch are Skyward Sword and Link’s Awakening, which follow that formula, and my favorite overall is A Link to the Past, and each of those demonstrate what I’m talking about.
