As you can see, it's actually #22 in the alltime DS japanese top sales: not really THAT bad, and soon in the same league as many Nintendo "ok" sellers: Yoshi Island, Kirby, etc...
Even the most beloved franchises in Japan, Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy, don't sell 2 or 3 million copies on DS, so no shame at all in these "poor" sales with "no legs": Zelda isn't that popular in Japan anymore, so these are really nice sales, and they're not finished yet...
