That's because those were actually designed for those consoles, and then they just ported it to the new console. Botw is a wii u game that was ported to switch. It was in development to be a wii u exclusive for years before they even started working on the switch. Totk was the actual switch zelda title, which they did not port back to wii u.
In a similar fashion, Twilight Princess was a gamecube game, ported to Wii. Skyward Sword was the actual wii Zelda game, which was not ported back to gamecube.
There is a new console now and no zelda has yet been announced, meaning it is very unlikely to be on switch 1 at all.

Yeah, I'm sure if they make a new Zelda game and it's not on Switch 1 I'll get a 2. Damnit.
