Is it a hot take to say that Shadow of the Erdtree feels more like a sequel to Elden Ring than Tears of the Kingdom feels to Breath of the Wild?

I wouldn't say it's a hot take. Just a take.

Which it's understandable, since SoTE interacts in 0 ways with the base game(other than like...Ansbach talking about Mohg), so it's safe to do it all after doing almost everything in the base game.

Whereas ToTK is like BoTW kind of never happened, since none of the NPCs seem to recognize Link or reference BoTW much.

But honestly, all SoTE is, is like a cluster of Lore fill-ins. You get a lot of answers out of it, but it also raises a hundred more questions. Typical Fromsoftware DLC, though definitely their largest to date. 10 more major bosses is 2/3rds of how many are in the base game.
