Whatever I actually want and hope for Zelda, this is most likely outcome - BotW had enormous influx of first time players, some of them stayed for TotK, some of them even then played and liked older titles. But I think for the most part, Nintendo can't go back.
What they can do is try to combine open world with item gated progression, like Zelda 1, but they would need to scrap a lot of things in how items work from BotW formula for that and use original approach - now, would Anouma's hubris allow for that is another question.
