I can only see this as a desperate act by Nintendo until the real Zelda comes out. Same thing they did with Star Fox Adventures but they had Dynasty Warriors reskinned this time.

Or it could just be a game they wanted to make. Not every game in a franchise has to be a mainline installment.

No. Nintendo did the exact same thing with StarFox Adventures. The Gamecube had a similar problem with games coming out. The demand must really be getting to them. Miyamoto forced Rare to reskin Star Fox Adventures in a similar fashion when they were working on a new IP back in the GC era. This will probably turn out worse. Nintendo isn't making the game. Its the Dynasty Warriors team. 

The only way I can see this being a hit is if people are fans of Dynasty Warriors. From the look at the sales on VG Chartz of Dynasty Warriors their glory days were in the early 2000's on the PS2 and thats where it ends.

If you don't remember history you're doomed to repeat it.

Whatever they did with Starfox doesn't mean anything now, and even if so, from what you said they already had a game in place, then they simply put Starfox over it. Creating the gameplay, then fitting one of their existing IPs to it. This has always been Nintendo's philosophy, so nothing desperate here.

Can't say anything about the sales as I've never looked at them, but I think it's safe to say that this game will sell better than what Dynasty Warriors games have been selling recently, simply because you'll have Zelda fans + Warriors fans.
