No way we get THAT much Zelda. I don't see a meaty DLC wave releasing a mere month after the base game, nor WW/TP remasters.
If they do have DLC planned, I wouldn't expect it until the autumn at the earliest, & I don't see a WW/TP release happening until after all the DLC is out (even if there's no DLC, I don't see TP/WW releasing in the same calendar year as TotK. I think they'd be 2024 at the earliest).
OoT remake is absolutely not happening any time soon (especially if WW/TP remasters are a thing).
Conversely, there's not enough Mario. Granted, I don't think we'd get anything huge at this point in the Switch's life, but I doubt they'll try and coast the holiday period on nothing other than MK8D DLC. There'll be something, even if it's just a smaller scale spinoff (like Sports Mix or Sluggers. Not saying it'll be a new one of those specifically, just something of that caliber).

Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
@Magician That would put them well into late Wii territory, which they've said more than once that they intend to avoid doing with Switch. Switch 2 is coming sooner rather than later.
The reason why I included OoT remake is because Nintendo needs some games to show off their next console. But since the Zelda team is beginning development on the next Zelda game, they decided to make a 4K remake of OoT for the time being. Also, that might explain why Tears of the Kingdom was delayed so much. I'm confident the Zelda team are making a 4K remake of a classic Zelda game, and I strongly believe it's OoT.
@GreenNinja500 still a stretch. Ocarina and Majorca’s Mask were already remade for 3DS. And 4K of all things? I don’t remember Nintendo releasing games for the PS5. Nintendo has always favoured good games over powerful consoles. The next one won’t even have 4K, I would bet a fat dollar on that. It took Nintendo until the Wii U era to even implement HD games. But I’m not going to tell you what you can and can’t believe in. So if you believe Ocarina is getting a second remake in 4K on a console that will probably have power equal to the PS4, then by all means, go for it I guess.
@Bolt_Strike I agree with you on Star Fox and F-Zero. At least Star Fox has been given new games within the last decade, F-Zero hasn’t had a new game for almost 20 years. The latest star fox games were just released on an ill-fated console with what I hear are clumsy controls. Given the right platform and quality, classic star fox could perhaps hold its own in this day and age. But F-Zero is in the dirt, porting the older titles is all we will receive at this point unless Sega or an upstart company gives the series another go with Nintendo’s green light.
Wait, why do we need a Sigurd? I mean signature, jeez.

@GreenNinja500@NintendoByNature I agree with @Grumblevolcano@RR529, I just can't see Windwaker or Twilight Princess releasing on the Switch. Assume the Switch 2 releases in 2024 and the next new 3D Zelda is 5-7 years away, Nintendo will want some Zelda content for Switch 2. I think we'll see Metroid Prime Remaster style releases with hopefully 4K (DLSS) graphics etc for both. Maybe even one of them being a launch/year 1 title?
@MarioBrickLayer I didn't say anything about it not coming to Switch, just that it's not coming until later in 2024 at the earliest. I feel there'll be a window like 2017 - 2019 for 3DS where Switch gets ports/remasters/remakes/DLC meanwhile the successor gets new stuff. Take 2025 for example, you'd perhaps have something like:
