You mean why is it surprising that a new IP from 2007 nearly managed to outsell every single title in a franchise that's almost synonymous with nintendo?

Halo outsells most mario games.
Call of duty outsells ALL mario games.

Oh, it's just a big new IP, not surprising at all.


Yeah, I still don't see your point. What is amazing about Zelda's sales isn't the sales of any individual game, it is the consistent sales over such a long period of time. New IPs come and go all the time, and quite often they sell a lot of units per game. I don't understand why that is surprising to anyone.
