In reference to Wind Waker, Twilight Princess was on a far larger platform. In reference to Skyward Sword, it launched at the tail end of the Wii, after the Wii U was announced and after years of appathy and incompetence in marketing had eroded the image of the Wii and Nintendo. Skyward Sword also had very little marketing. If you switched the their release dates, they would likely swap sales for the most part. |
Those things were factors. So was art style. The gaming market is currently ruled by superficial dudebros for whom "kiddy" is the ultimate sin and graphics mean everything.
By and large, the only people interested in a cartoonish Zelda are diehard fans.
