i talk about a BOTW 3BotW
AoC
BotW2
Then it would be a 4 part seriesi talk about a BOTW 3
I mean, yes and no. You're contention is compelling and agreeable but you do of course have like the three Mario Party games on three N64 being the MP64 trilogy for instance. They do need to be linked (haha) but simply sharing a console and franchise could be enough. For instance, I think the way I described a Zelda Switch trilogy could easily be called a trilogy even if the stories weren't linked. It would simply be a way of referring to three of the games in the series by grouping them together. A trilogy definitely can imply a narrative arch though, and I agree the jury is still out on that.Not until further notice, no.
Trilogy implies a series of games with a linked narrative. Age of Calamity is incredibly disconnected from Breath of the Wild, and BotW2 hasn't revealed enough about its story to say whether or not it's going to be a followup to the previous game or just play fast and loose with chronology like the series is best known for.

It would be something of a straw man to say that I'm contending that any three things that can be grouped are a trilogy. I'm pointing out that the term trilogy can be used simply to group things. That being the case, I think the term trilogy could easily become common parlance for referring to three disparate Zelda games on the Switch as "the switch trilogy".If three games in a series having similar names is enough to make a trilogy, then the entirety of Zelda is a trilogy.
I would only consider something like Mass Effect or Bioshock to be a trilogy. Three related games whose narratives carries through to each entry in some way. Nothing about Breath of the Wild's narrative carries over into Age of Calamity.

Nah, I wouldn't call it that disconnected. Sure, the events of AoC fall on a separate timeline, but it can't first exist without the events of BotW to set it up. It is a game that is clearly heavily intended to be experienced with full knowledge of the events of BotW for the best appreciation of it. It is not a prequel, and while it isn't all the way to a sequel, either, it still narratively comes in between BotW and TotK. It's a stop along the road between the two, not a stand-alone side story. Calling BotW, AoC, and TotK a trilogy is completely fair. A trio of stories that take place consecutively is the purest example of a trilogy there is, but that isn't the only way a trilogy can exist. These three games are meant to be grouped together and there is a pretty clear order in which the player is intended to absorb the story between all three of them. That's a trilogy in my book.Not until further notice, no.
