If you can get Odyssey, you can entirely skip the Origins. Both games have almost the same mechanic with Odyssey basically being an improved version of Origins. I also went with Origins anticipating Ancient Egypt. I had just finished Far Cry: Primal and was excited to play more historic games. But the AC:Origins is not that much ancient Egypt except for the location. The pyramids were built at around 2500BC, and the game is set in ~50BC. Also, I expected a better origins story, on how and why the creed formed. The endgame twist is super awesome, but the whole origins can be explained in 3-4 lines.
It is definitely not a bad game, and I enjoyed playing though it. But when I got Odyssey just after finishing that, it felt like going through the same game again, but in a different location. If I had to do it again, I would haven't played Origins and directly gone for Odyssey. However, if you play Origins, and don't plan to continue with Odyssey anytime soon, definitely go for Origins. Again, not a bad game, and one of the best game in AC franchise, but I will suggest rather watch the story of Origins on YouTube, and skip directly to Odyssey.

I don't know much about grey market. I was comparing the price of first party Nintendo games that are sold online.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (released 2 years 6 months ago) and Super Mario Odyssey (released 1 year 11 months ago) are still sold at ₹4500+ on various online stores (amazon.in, gameloot.com, gamestheshop.com). So I don't think a 5 days old Zelda game is going to be found online for anything less than that price.
In addition to that, I checked the price of Link's Awakening on Amazon US, and Amazon DE. The prices are listed as $59( ~₹4187) and €54.99(~₹4299) respectively. Considering the shipping cost involved, getting Link's Awakening in India, 4 days after launch at ₹4500 is as best as it could get.

Received my copy yesterday. Pretty amazing to get a physical copy of a game not released in India in just 3 days after launch. The effective price was Rs.4.5k, which I guess is the average price for a first party switch game in India.
Thanks @Mcube Games

Anyone knows where I can buy a powerline adapter?

Looking to create a wired connection for my TV and Xbox. Can't use standard LAN cable because the router is too far away. Looking to buy a powerline adapter, but cannot find anything decent online.
If you don't know what a powerline adapter is, it is basically a set of mini-routers that transmit internet through your electric wiring, thus maintaining a wired connection anywhere in your building.
