Non surprisingly enough, BOTW is gonna win, but my vote went for TOTK. It's just the better game of the 2 really, but impact wise and perception, BOTW will win the debate because it's the first child of the duology and made a new statement on the Open World genre ...

Well I personally think TotK is vastly inferior to BotW in nearly every aspect. It's not about which one came first.

BotW was revolutionary and it kept a consistent atmosphere and cohesive narrative binding it all together. TotK feels like just a bunch of random gameplay ideas stitched together by whatever story they could make up after doing a Miyazaki marathon.

And it doubles down on BotW worst mistake (repetitive rewards for repetitive mini-puzzles), instead of fixing it - it was understandable in BotW because of how difficult it was to develop a game like that, but TotK had 6 years of work on the same engine and on the same map. There's no excuse for having another 160-something shrines and a billion koroks instead of actually interesting content.

I could go on, but I won't.
