In the past, mainline Zelda games typically have not received any demo, with the last one in recent history being the 20-minute demo that was part of the Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition on the Nintendo GameCube.
Since the introduction of the Nintendo e-Shop and demos for Nintendo games such as Metroid Dread and Kirby and the Forgotten Land, the only Zelda game we have seen receive a demo was Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, but it is not a mainline Zelda game, so don't expect a Tears of the Kingdom demo!
