Classic Zelda that people like will sell at least 6 to 8 million, always has always will. With nostalgia heavily powering this game I think it could close to NSBDS numbers. It will sell 17-25 million.

Why would nostalgia cause a game to sell 3x as much as the best selling title in the franchise?

There has not been a Zelda game in this style, with this kind of pedigree for many years. This is what the market wants. I have several friends who are getting a 3DS mostly to play this game. The parents who played 2D Zelda in the eighties and nineties will want their kids to play it. Wii virtual console 2D Zelda sales show a pent up demand for 2D Zelda that has been building. If it does well on 3DS we will also see a top down Zelda on Wii U to complement the AAA Ocarina style we are now accustomed to. Book it.
