That's what they said for Ocarina of Time ... Majora's Mask etc..

Since they're 100% using the BotW engine, I imagine it'll take about 2 years (since BotW took 4+) and come out on Switch. The next one after this will probably be cross gen.
This is Nintendo we're talking about. The next one will be Breath of the Wild again but with more traditional Zelda dungeons and it'll be considered the best ever
Welp, I really wanted an Epilogue for Breath of the Wild. Guess that's never going to happen. :(
I would totally be okay if it's not open world, just better graphics 1080p and similar to mario odesey
Populate the worlds with meaningful characters. Drop the item system. Contract the overworld slightly and build out interesting towns.

I'm expecting a Holiday 2019 release. So, a few months shy of three years from the launch of BotW.
Curious to see where they'll go.
Open world with more traditional dungeons could be interesting.

The interesting battle this will have to face is, yes, it has the luxury of an excellent foundation already built, so they can refine it to a better overall package than BotW for first-time players.
However, for those of us who played BotW, the wow factor of such an engaging world will be largely diminished, because now we've already experienced the wonder and magic of exploring Hyrule in this fashion. We've already experienced this excellent foundation. So what has a bigger impact, experiencing a new structure for the first time, or experiencing the same structure with new, better furnishings?
It's gonna be tough to impress as much as BotW did.
Then again, it feels like I've said that same thing about Nintendo about 10 times, and yet they keep on delighting.

I don't take that to mean much. Aonuma is the lead producer for the Zelda series; that's all he handles. It's his job to get the ball rolling, to get things started. If we hear from someone other than the producer (like from Fujibayashi, the director) that work is underway, then things start getting interesting, imo.
It ain't hard to top BOTW...
There are lots of things that need improving.
I hope it's a direct sequel to BotW. I really, really loved the atmosphere and charm of the game, and I think it'd be really interesting to see a brand new area of the world--like a re-imagined Termina--in the vein of BotW.
Plus, I loved how the Sheika Slate worked in the game, and I think they should continue on with that mechanic for the next couple games.

I don't think I want them reusing stuff made for a Wii U game. I mean, if it's going to run at that framerate again.
Maybe the guys who made Triforce Heroes got another hot multiplayer Zelda on the way.
Well, there's definitely going to be another Zelda game before BotW's successor. I predict a 2D entry from the "handheld" team will launch late next year.
The next one will be a top down Zelda, then a future Zelda game by the console team for Switch too. This is a given, I think.
Yeah. I'm pretty sure they've launched a Zelda every year - 3D, 2D, remaster or spinoff. We'll definitely get something next year.
Yep, give me Link's Second Awakening or Oracle of Space or something
I want the Majora's Mask of Breath of the Wild.
Also, I want Majora's Mask HD for the Switch please.

I'd cough up so much money if they gave LA the ALBW treatment that ALTTP got.
Could be...
Link between Worlds 2.
Triforce Heroes 2
New spin off
A link to the Pass...yes that's it, a clever pun is actually a hint. I'm logic is sound
