What if Samus has a form of transportation in Prime 4 that allows you to move from point A to point B more quickly? If they are going to take anything from the Wind Waker, why not the method of transportation? It does not have to be a boat per se. The planet could be far more expansive this time around. The last 3D Metroid was on the Wii.
Nintendo can do much more than prettier graphics. They can make the planet larger too.
The idea of flying through space and going to other planets would be good in theory, however, it would be eerily to similar to No Man's Sky, and that game was well - lackluster. They can instead focus on a really in-depth, detailed, expansive planet to explore.
