Because Link's Crossbow is Nintendo game, like spinof shooter Zelda game, while Hyrule Warriors is Dinasty Warior game just in Zelda universe.

I think Link's Crossbow is more Zelda game then Hyrule Warriors.

Using this logic, we shouldn't count the Oracle games or The Minish Cap, because they're Capcom games. Or we don't count Super Mario Bros. 2 in the sales of the Mario series, since that's Doki Doki Panic, just with a Mario skin. =P

It sounds like you just wanna count Crossbow Training because it sold a lot. All spin-offs count. The series actually sold a little more than that, because there's those Tingle games released in Japan only.

No, beacuse Oracle and Minish Cap are Zelda games and Hyrule Warriors is Dynasty Warrior game.

I didn say I want 100% to count Crossbow Training, my point is that Crossbow Training is much more Zelda title than Hyrule Warriors.

That makes no sense either. How is it? In terms of gameplay? Not even close, I'd say Hyrule Warriors is more like a Zelda title in terms of gameplay. In terms of story? There is no story in Link's Crossbow Training. There is a good one in Hyrule Warriors that connects multiple worlds of Hyrule. 

It sounds like all you are meaning is that it is made by Nintendo.

Who thought that was a good idea.

Tingle has his own game and poor Ganondorf not.

I heard he's pretty popular in Japan actually, and the #1 choice for DLC in Hyrule Warriors. And sure enough, there he is in the Majora's Mask pack.

Yeah, japanese have a pretty weird taste.

Well, I think he's funny in Zelda games, but that's about it. :p

He hasn't been seen since WW (HD) though. I wonder if he's in Zelda U, probably not.

Very nice but the Ages and  Seasons games aren't the same.

Interesting to see though, OoT is still king!

I view them as both one complete game :P you cannot get the full experience without both, so I combined them.

We don't have same logic, don't need to continue with this.

With the first week sales of Majora's Mask 3D, the game has sold a combined (N64,3DS) 4.22 million. How high could it end up on the chart of best selling Zelda games?

Majora's Mask 3d and Zelda U will do a lot more than 6m combined (Zelda U alone might do 6m+).

When conting spin offs, it's gonna take another handheld and home console zelda after MM 3d and zelda U) to cross the 100m mark. So, 2017/2018.

p.s: With digital sales (including VC), it could do it sooner than we think.


Hahahaha, Zelda U wont even come close to anywhere 5M, let alone 6M.
