I also think and said for a while that the next Zelda game will be coming way sooner than we think. Botw took a long time because of changing to HD and the making of the new engine which is so sophisticated it's insane. Now that they have that and could even take assets from Botw, the next game won't take 5 years.. Botw also opened so many doors for the franchise.
+ I'm pretty sure the next game was planned before the DLC, it might have been in development since the release of Botw or even before that, since the game was pushed for the Switch release.
