Ocarina of Time stands as the best selling Zelda on a single console. and it didnt really do jackshit for N64, so i dont see why this new Zelda will do anything for WiiU especially since it most def not be out this year.

It didn't make it sell like crazy but it definitely had an impact. Much like Final Fantasy VII, Ocarina of time was extremely hyped back them and people wouldn't shut up about it ... and they still haven't.

thats not a good comparison considering the system that FF7 released on sold 3 times as much as N64

I don't think the total install base of the PS1 is that relevant in the case of FF7. It's more plausible, I think, that FF7 sold Playstations rather than Playstations sold FF7, given the hype level of that game. The PS1 was an international success not just because of JRPGs, but multimedia features, good advertising, and strong and varied third-party support. My point is that games that are tremendously hyped sell consoles.
