On the one hand, I get it: they don’t want to commit to an idea or spoil something they could currently be working on.
On the other hand, it is so, SO frustrating to see the idea be sort of rejected, especially when ToTK could have easily facilitated a playable Zelda in the distant past.

“We created the Rito as the evolved form of the Zora that appeared in "Ocarina of Time" and the Koroks as what the Kokiri became once they left the forest. They appear different, but they have inherited their blood.” — Eiji Aonuma, Zelda Box (Japanese magazine interview)
The Zora typically use a modified crest of the Goddess Nayru as their tribal crest; three crescents equidistant apart around a central point. [OoT][OoA][WW][TP][ALBW][BotW] This shape is also seen in the form of the spiritual stone of water. [OoT] As you can see, this symbol was used by the Rito during the era of the Great Sea, proving their connection!

Aonuma: are you happy now? You freaks? You cretins? Was the leaked art book not enough to sate you? I put my blood and my soul into this game. I haven’t seen my family in months. My own son asks if Daddy loves Link more than him. It’s BOTW2 alright, what more do you need? I’m only doing this goddamn Nintendo Direct because I got sick of seeing your dogshit theories - no Zelda isn’t dead you bozos, she’s literally the title character for fuck’s sake. Have ten minutes of gameplay and lose my number

[Legend of Zelda]: Tears of the Kingdom - MODERN AU
The TotK Cast as winter tourists in Kyoto! This is an updated version of an earlier artwork I made for a blog post I wrote for the Zelda Creators website! It relates to my holiday experience in Kyoto earlier this year and seeing the inspirations for both BotW / TotK while wandering around the city.
You can find the blog post here: [link]. It includes photos I took from my holiday there.
.
BONUS: original version.
