In recent years Nintendo has established Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Splatoon as their 4 largest brands. Consistently these 4 have appeared together on corporate imagery, and have been the primary focus of Nintendo's merchandising. Perhaps Splatoon is not currently popular enough to warrant something in the US, but I wouldn't count out Animal Crossing.
Animal Crossing has been rapidly growing in popularity over the years, which culminated in it becoming a phenomenon during lockdowns. If there ever was expansion beyond Zelda and Pokemon, I think Animal Crossing would easily be the frontrunner.
