But once again, I'm thinking I'll wait to play this on a Switch 2 which could be announced within months of this coming out.

Doubtful. The timeframe of the MK8-DLC tells me, that Switch 2 will not release in 2023, so we early 2024 will be the most early it comes - already a year after BOTW2. There might be the possibility that Nintendo releases a Switch 2 remaster of Zelda though. But it will not be a simple cross-gen game.

Yeah, that still kind of matches the timeline. If Zelda comes out April/May, Switch 2 could be announced within months(June-October) ahead of a Spring 2024 release. 

But I also fully expecting the Switch to be supporting in one way or another after the successors release, they're not repeating a strategy of releasing a new console and pretending like the established audience of 140-150m doesn't exist.
