Critical reception? Sales? 

Yes, critical reception of gaming receiver and players itself.

How do you quantify player reception outside of sales numbers though?

I quantify player reception from players that played game obviously. Zelda is game for just Nintendo platform and game itself isnt so wide appealing like Mario for instance.

 

I wouldn't take player reception seriously when it comes to Zelda, because these games have always some kind of delayed recognition. It took years from some gamers to achieve likeable status, like Wind Waker or Skyward Sword. They're a volatile metric that doesn't reflect reality once everything is done.

 

This happens with a lot more games, too. Few ones managed to be loved from beginning to the End of Times
