I'd love to see them keep supporting Breath of the Wild with DLC packs throughout the Switch's life cycle.
As for new games, they could do one or two top-down 2D games like A Link to the Past/A Link Between Worlds for that 2D Zelda action. Just have another, smaller team take care of that.
Hell, they could have another studio like Grezzo, the ones who made the 3DS remakes of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, or Monolith Soft, who's Kyoto studio helped out with Skyward Sword, take a stab at their own classic styled 3D Zelda game.
I loved Breath of the Wild, and think that should be the main formula going forward, but I don't think the classic formula has to die or go away for it. I think there's room for three types of Zelda games, especially with Breath of the Wild's record setting sales drawing in brand new fans of the series.
As of now, the best selling Zelda game is Twilight Princess, with both the Wii and GameCube versions combining for around 8.76 million copies sold. Breath of the Wild is on track to sell 10 million on the Switch alone!!
Top-Down 2D (A Link to the Past - A Link Between Worlds formula), Classic 3D (Ocarina of Time - Skyward Sword formula), and Modern Open-World (Breath of the Wild formula.)
Those games, along with the ongoing DLC packs, would at least keep fans pretty busy during the long wait between the next modern, open-world game in the series, which I think will be the next launch title for Nintendo Switch 2 (hopefully) or whatever their next system would be.
