A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Apologies for my scatterbrain. In that case I’d go with BotW because it’s shorter/focused (others will say it’s too minimalist) and you’ll get to experience a modern Zelda game. Also, if you don’t own Switch 2 it runs good enough while TotK was just a bit too much for Switch 1.
Shorter/focused sounds good. And yes I only have a Switch Lite and I am unlikely to get a Switch 2.
Thanks for your suggestions, very helpful.
Totk ran fine for me on the switch. I guess some parts had lag, but I can’t remember having any serious performance issues.
Everyone has different cutoffs for what performance is acceptable to them. I thought TOTK was fun but the low resolution and regular FPS dips made me realise I'd rather wait for the switch 2 to experience it properly.
Eh, TOTK runs fine on my Switch OLED, though it's less fun in handheld mode (I almost exclusively play on TV).
