Haha, me too, I wanted to play it for a long time and the ads on TV from the new game gave me enough hype to finally start playing this one and I'm liking it a lot :D
My partner has gone back to Breath of the Wild. They said they actually prefer the more discovery feel of the open world and thinks TotK is a little to packed.
Yes, I also heard something about that, and that there are many more side missions, but exaggerated xD but I don't like to see spoilers for the games I want to play, so I don't know much more
