I know Tears of the Kingdom is finally out, but that was my final reason that pushed me to purchase BOTW and its great!
a bit more gripping than Hogwarts Legacy ngl, but kinda lost after beating

my first divine beast, Vah Ruta.
It’s phenomenal. In a totally different class than other Zelda games, which were all excellent themselves.
My approach to BotW was pretty much climb high thing, scout for anything that looks interesting, mark it on my map, and then go explore.
Pretty much anything that looks even a little interesting will have something for you to do or find.
pretty much my strategy too! At least the BOTW seems fun to explore unlike HL where I spent most of my time climbing endless stairs
Buddy, enjoy it. Explore, take your time. Look in every nook and cranny. Delve into the YouTube theories etc and just immerse yourself in it but don’t rush. TOTK will be there when you’re good and ready, but it is such an upgrade that you may find it difficult to go BACK to BOTW. So, enjoy it!
