Personally I am loving the format of the current switch games, and Nintendo has signaled that they intend to keep making games in this style though not necessarily a sequel.

I would love first and foremost for the story telling to be brought back to the standards of Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess.

Also, to me the best thing in the 3D games has always been the pacing, you have your first initial quest, that leads to Link powering up in a few different ways. Then Link is set on a second quest, becoming more powerful again. Then a twist of some sort, though that's optional. Then finally the climactic battle with the big bad. I would also like to see more of an after story, though it is traditional for that to not be a thing at this point.

As for settings, I would LOVE to see a game set after spirit tracks in New Hyrule in the midst of an industrial revolution, mixed with magic.

How about you, what are your wishlist items for the next/future Zelda games?

i really miss the feel of classic dungeons. i loved botw but the shrine and divine beasts just didn't feel like a dungeon.

My thoughts exactly. TotK spoilers:

I got so excited when I stumbled on my first temple thinking it was going to be a full fledged dungeon. They were so close, but I was definitely disappointed when I realised it was basically divine beast 2.0

This is kinda fixed in Tears of the Kingdom. The temples are back and more unique than the beasts in BotW.

I would definitely say the Fire Temple feels a lot like a temple, but the other not so much, they feels more like temple "lite" rather than a full temple. I think that sort of the trade off with open world Zelda game, it emphasize less on linearity.

I think the air temple (if you consider the approach to the temple to also be a part of it) also fits quite well, as does the Lightning Temple.

The water temple is weird in that it's in the middle of the sky and feels too similar to the air temple. Also the spirit temple isn't super themed.
