This is directed towards Fatslob, u claim the Zelda series is declining but that is simply not true. U base this off of Skyward Sword selling much less than Twilight Princess but if u look at the history of the series, the second mainline release on a perticular console always sells much less than the first.
NES
Zelda-6.51m
Zelda 2-4.38m
Zelda 2 sold 56% of Zelda 1
N64
Ocarina-7.60m
Majora-3.36m
Majora sold 47% of Ocarina
Wii
Twilight Princess-6.83m
Skyward Sword-3.69m
SS sold 54% of TP
So Skyward Sword hasnt shown that the series Is declining as the second release on a console sells roughly half of the first. Also u laugh at the people who think Wind Waker HD can sell over 700k, lets look at the sales of remakes compared to original releases.
Ocarina of Time-7.60m
Remake-3.14m
The remake sold 41% of the original
Link to the Past-4.61m
Remake-2.70m
The remake sold 58% of the original
Links Awakening-3.83m
Remake-2.22m
The remake sold 58% of the original
Zelda remakes typically sell 40-60% of the original, if Wind Waker to follow this pattern then it should sell 1.84-2.76m. In purely retail figures no it will not likely reach those numbers but with digital and bundled sales then it has a chance.
