I enjoyed BotW, but it was a letdown as a Zelda game, and there are better open world games IMO.
And I generally don't like open world games much, they're usually filled with a bunch of low-quality content to pad it out, and the good content is scattered a bit too much. I really enjoy well-done open world games though, like Morrowind, but so many of them just fill the world with fetch quests and other forms of padding (Morrowind's fetch quests were at least interesting and thematic IMO).
If whatever comes after TotK is open world, I probably won't bother buying the Switch 2, since Zelda games were my primary reason for buying the console in the first place. I grew up with TLoZ and ALttP, so that's the style that I like. If the Zelda series won't provide that, I'll find something else (Ys series is close-ish).
