[ALL] Is it too late to play Zelda games?

I've been eyeing TotK and BotW for a while now; when they came out, I didn't really have that much interest in playing them because I wasn't a Zelda fan. (or more like I didn't have much knowledge about it)

Now that I've had a Switch and some good reviews, I wanted to play it. Is it okay to play without any prior knowledge? :( are the controls hard?
