Breath of the Wild is better than Tears of the Kingdom.
The zonai devices and powers in TotK break the game so hard its funny. You can always just make a lego helicopter and beeline from A to B with zero challenge.
Meanwhile in BoTW, traversing the map was a challenge in itself. Every mountain, river or chasm presented a different problem you had to work around. This was way more fun than building the same hovercraft for the 50th time.
