A cartoony Zelda isn't going to sell consoles. Not sure even a TP style one would ... it's a really freaking old franchise, I think we need to understand a lot of the kids driving console adoption right now grew up with a PS2, not an NES or SNES. Times they are a changing. 

Xenoblade X looks great don't get me wrong, but I don't see it as anything other than this year's Bayonetta 2 -- a game that gets a ton of hype/praise on message boards but doesn't do jack all in sales. I expect to sell basically the same as Bayo 2 as well. 

The problem with that style of game is that Nintendo lost the fanbase that would be interested in such a game years ago now. That went after the N64 days really, the Nintendo fans that stuck around are hardcore Mario/Zelda fanatics, but they're not into the wider variety content like Xenoblade or Bayonetta. Devil's Third will be a full on flop too. 

Can't sell content like that on a Nintendo console. 

Zelda is still one of the biggest action Adventure games of all time, and I think it being open world brings a lot more appeal to the game than its cartoony style takes away from it. 

You know what's a big action adventure game?  The Elder Scrolls.  FAR bigger than Zelda, and will not be on the Wii U.  Zelda is for Zelda fans.
