I like the first game a lot but it's just a tribute to the series and feels like a reskinned existing DW game. AOC feels custom and tells a good Zelda story. Plus the combos using BOTW mechanics is excellent. AOC feels more open than it is where HW feels constrained like any DW map. I feel more free in the gameplay of AOC. Music is also top-notch despite not being remixed by Zelda tunes. AOC is not a tribute to the Zelda series. It feels like an extension of it.
Bite my shiny metal cockpit!
