Do we really expect that 3DS sales will rise up high with OOT3D release?

It launched at the same price as PSP was 6 years ago, I generally use my finger for the touchscreen in most cases and the motion control is obviously going to be used sparingly, when 3D graphics are a priority in MOST games being developed.

Besides, having motion controls makes 3DS games more easily ported to the PSP2, I wouldn't be complaining.

About your Zelda question, core gamers are gonna buy the shit out of that console when it releases, but more importantly, the following 12 months will keep the ball rolling with RE, MGS, etc. People saying that one game will do everything is a little like people assuming Sonys lack of a handheld MH exclusivity will keep that console, and the NGP, from being a success. Neither statement is true.

Bolded #1. 

PSP was expensive 6 years ago.

 

Bolded #2.

Touching a restrictive touch screen is not close to the same as doing so on a capacitive.

 

Bolded #3.

Not according to Nintendo.

As for the rest, we won't know until the summer.
