From Wikipedia
According to the last reported numbers provided by Nintendo, Wind Waker sold only 3.07 million copies worldwide, far below the 7.6 million set by Ocarina of Time.[59] Aonuma would later comment in 2007 that he was "convinced the reason the Wind Waker did not perform well was because of its toon-shaded graphics style. It was something that you either loved or hated, and there was nothing that we could have done about it."[60] As a result of Wind Waker's poor sales, Aonuma decided that "the only thing we could do was to give the healthy North American market the Zelda that they wanted," which led to the creation of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.[61]
I always thought Wind Waker sold like 4.5 million copies for some reason. Wow. It was a border line bomb, even on 22 million GameCubes, to only sell 3 million ... yikes.
