I know a lot of people who bought a Switch just to play BOTW, lol. My dad did. And besides Breath of the Wild 2 is coming next year as well. I'm a huge Zelda fan so I'd recommend buying a Switch for BOTW1 and 2.

If your wife is into Pokémon, there's no shortage of Pokémon games on the Switch. It's a Pokémon machine. If you only played blue and have nostalgia for Gen 1, then Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Evee is a decent game to get. It's also 2 players on the same screen. Besides that I recommend Pokémon Legends Arceus. It's a semi open world Pokémon game and later this year Scarlet and Violet, fully open World Pokémon games will release.

A next gen Switch is probably 2 years out. Just get a standard or OLED if you're willing to spend the extra cash. I'd imagine the next generation Switch will be backwards compatible and you should be able to transfer your data over and sell your OG Switch.
