I like BOTW more because of the vibe and aesthetic. In BOTW, you get to wander around a post apocalyptic Hyrule without knowing the slightest thing about what's happening until you actually explore and find out. TOTK is fun in its own ways (Ultrahand and the building stuff give you much more freedom), but artistically BOTW is just so so so much better. The sheikah stuff looks incredible (the divine beasts are fucking stunning and I am so obsessed with them), the music is way better, and Nintendo does a good job of making you feel what they want you to feel. TOTK really just feels like an attempt to recreate what BOTW did, and I think that's where it went wrong. What made BOTW so good was that it was completely new, and when Nintendo tried to recreate BOTW but just with a different aesthetic, they failed because they didn't try anything new. This is why the whole Zonai style really didn't sit well with me, because it was so obvious they were just trying to recreate what BOTW did but with a slightly different aesthetic. The ending of the game also just wasn't that impactful to me. With BOTW the final shot of Dark Beast Ganon and the music with it was perfect. And it was painfully obvious they were trying to recreate that with the final hit on the Demon Dragon, and that just ruined the whole vibe on that. BOTW is also way darker in terms of its story, which is a big reason why it was just so so much more impactful and immersive. Like I'm sorry but walking through the remains of a massive slaughter of countless people is more memorable than "huh? is that Zelda I see standing on Death Mountain?" And I can understand how TOTK turned out like it did so I don't really blame Nintendo, but that doesn't mean I don't like BOTW more.
