Played BOTW on the Switch, and close to finishing it now (though I decided to skip on the DLC). I think for Tears I'll wait a bit longer for emulation support to mature a bit and play it on PC for once.
For the debate about how BOTW fits in to the rest of the series, I'll say that I found most older Zelda games to be "ok", with Windwaker to be my favourite of the pre-BOTW ones, mostly because it allows the kind of exploration that I like about BOTW, even if it's not truly as free and unscripted in Windwaker as I would want.
I can also understand that fans of the old ones aren't happy with BOTW. It doesn't have the same linear, heavily item-based progression that the old ones had. I just never cared one bit about it, since the games assume you are brain-dead and need every little thing spoonfed to you. BOTW does this too, way more than I would want, but there's at least hints of actual player freedom in BOTW that I find sorely lacking in every other title.
