I also hugely adored BOTW, and it was a really restful one to start over with a fresh playthrough, until my controller developed terminal stick-drift on one side and I stopped playing until I could get a repair or replacement.

But I love them in such different ways! I got attached to Eloy and her context and emotions and life as a person, in ways I totally didn't with Link, even with the flashbacks to the various Champions. So my BOTW enjoyment was much more about the sense of openness and freedom, creativity/weirdness in the game mechanics, puzzle solving, etc., and not about people and feelings.
