Kinda spoiler, but, hey, it’s BotW.

I was afraid of the AoC non-canon story, but I think they make things in a very smart way : Everything is canon, until that particular moment that we all know, where they insist on the tragic situation that could end this way… and… TA<shut up! It's magic!>DAAAh !!. As a gamer engaged in BotW story, this is best of both world: I have my original narrative arc and a clear trigger on when they chooses to flip the story because… Yeah, it would have been a weird ending…

And more than being simply fun, AoC has some childhood magic about redesigning some environments on what they look 100 years before. It was a pleasure to run on maps you almost could point on the later-on BotW environment. I enjoyed all those tiny touch of love in AoC.

I have to say it: The AoC vilain was not that interesting. I couldn’t care more on its intentions.

Still spoiler, obviously

AoC is technically deviating from BotW right from the beginning, because the starter point is the time portal from the very beginning (that originated from Zelda's prayer in the canon Hateno wall battle).

It changes a lot right from the start. Thanks to the little guardian, the Sheika slate gets full power immediately and they get to unlock the towers and their teleport function. On the other side, Astor who is not known to have played any role after the prophecy in BotW gets a literal incarnation of his god to worship through the Malice infected guardian.

And it has a huge effect before Hateno wall, since Astor uses that to betray the great Kohga IIRC.

And it also makes Zelda's progression arc a bit weird, because even before awakening, the powered-up slate makes her quite powerful.
