Even before its release, Tears of the Kingdom had been lampooned as '$70 DLC' (downloadable content). After its release, a segment of the fanbase took umbrage with how disconnected Tears of the Kingdom was to Breath of the Wild - a game to which TotK was an alleged sequel. With large expansions in other franchises, like Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree, I think it would be interesting to explore the ramifications, and perhaps the change in attitude about TotK if it was, in fact, only DLC.
