The big event is over and it's only right to assume that we shouldn't expect much from the year 2018 in terms of Zelda. The main Zelda team probably just started developing a sequel to Breath of the Wild and we most likely won't see much about the game in the next two years.
Koei Tecmo is still in the middle of developing DLC for Fire Emblem Warriors, where they might start to work on Hyrule Warriors 2 afterwards, if they haven't already. But we most likely won't see anything about this sequel in 2018 either. Grezzo has been hiring lately to develop a new legend and here are the chances better that we actually might see some of that. But it's still questionable, whether such a game will be released in 2018 already.
However, in May 2017 there have been rumors about a potential Smartphone Zelda game, to be released after the recent Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. If this holds true, it might become the main source of entertainment for Zelda fans in 2018, if they are already finished with Breath of the Wild. Nintendo has a tendency to regularly update their iOS/Android games with new contents, so such a title could again give us something to look forward to over the course of the year. In terms of classic top-down Zelda it's also possible that Nintendo might still release another Zelda game on the Nintendo 3DS based on the engine of A Link Between Worlds, but that's wishful thinking.
And Nintendo could continue to sell more Zelda amiibo, where Breath of the Wild would probably see one or two smaller updates as well... And it's still possible that Nintendo might release a Special Edition Nintendo Switch bundle for Breath of the Wild in 2018, with both the game and the DLC pre-installed.
