Now that Tears of the Kingdom has added amazing new mechanics like building contraptions and fusing items/weapons would you be disappointed if they didn’t include them in future games?

Disappointed? No. I would rather be disappointed if they infinitely reused the gimmicks of this game instead of thinking about new gameplay mechanics. Even the most amazing gameplay elements and concepts can be reused only so many times until they start to feel stale eventually.
Plus, as cool as some of the former gameplay elements have been, those weren’t reused either. Twilight Princess is the only game that lets you transform into a wolf. Oracle of Seasons is the only game that lets you change the seasons in the overwold at will. Majora’s Mask is the only game that repeats the same 3 day cycle over and over again. If Nintendo went “oh the fanbase absolutely loved these, we can never change or ditch them!” then Breath of the Wild would have been a VERY different game.
They will think of something else for the next game, and I’m totally okay with that.
