I'm waiting for Nintendo to introduce new IP, like new core IP single player games. I'd really like to see them tackle an open world game that isn't Zelda but a new IP. They play it too safe and rely too much on IP that's cemented. I'm tired of Mario and Zelda. If it's gotta be established IP, I'd like to see a new Fire Emblem game in the vein of Three houses but expanded upon and change the formula up a bit or give us a new Astral Chain game.

I completely understand and appreciate your perspective, but to me the newness of an IP is overrated. I'd much rather have new experiences and mechanics than new characters and stories. And in my opinion, Nintendo is great at reinventing its franchises even as it reuses the same plotlines, heroes, and villains.

Those things are not mutually exclusive and indeed new IPs are more likely to have new experiences and mechanics than otherwise. When you have an stabilished franchise you don't want to change things too much in risky of pissing off its fandom
