3D Mario I agree with.
3D Zelda has been in a very weird spot longer than 3D Mario. Breath of the Wild was announced way back in 2013 as a Wii U exclusive for 2015. That didn't happen, and Wii U's short life led it to launch with Switch and still make it to Wii U.
Then an asset-reusing sequel (albeit a big one) happens, and it takes the longest in release time that any Zelda game has ever taken. I know COVID-19 was a thing, but still.
It would be crazy for Nintendo to announce a new 3D Zelda already. when it's surely at minimum 2 years out.
A new 3D Mario is taking forever, longer than a release gap for 3D Zelda. Bowser's Fury only slightly mitigates that length, if at all.
Nintendo has clearly proven they don't need new 3D Zelda titles or new 3D Mario titles as often as they used to.
