Breath of the Wild was the better first-time experience. Discovering Hyrule and the intricate world they created was awe inspiring playing it on launch 6 years ago. With Tears of the Kingdom there wasn't as many surprises (apart from the first few hours in the depths). Having said that, I'm more likely to replay Tears of the Kingdom just because of how much more it gives the player to do and to work with. It's an evolution and improvement on BotW in almost every other way, from mechanics, to dungeons, to story.
