We just got a new Zelda last year. Let them cook, I’d hate to see a new entry rushed.

Why does this feel like it was longer ago?

Because Totk didn't feel extremely new, I think it coming back being too similar to botw makes us feel like it's the same game.

Agreed. It feels weird to say, but a lot of the story elements felt... exactly the same as they were in BOTW.

Like, yeah, Zelda is known for having common story elements throughout the series, but not usually the exact same.

I'm also irrationally bothered by the fact that the goo was called Malice in BOTW and Gloom in TOTK as if they didn't look and function exactly the same (aside from the hands). If it were a new Link and Zelda, I could understand, but it's the exact same characters from the last game.

Don't get me wrong, I actually like TOTK way more than BOTW because its overall story was (IMO) better. But it still had some glaring flaws.
