No is isn't, Ocarina of Time is. Both portable and handheld Zelda have dropped in sales hugely over the last decade.

And yes. Sales is the ultimate indicator of how "big" something is. Not the subjective, unquantifiable opinions of random people on the internet; actual real world success.

TP is first, but if you count OoT and OoT Remake, than its OoT. They dropped but now they are on rising again, so no series in decline like you wrote.

So you saying that Wii Fit, Wii Play, Wii Fit Plus, NSMB Wii are 3-4 times bigger games beacuse they sold 3-4 better than Last Of Us, game that won so many prizes and widely accepted as probably biggest/best game of previous gen!? Do you realise what you are writing!?

If you count TP on multiple platforms (Wii + GCN) it is only fair to compare Ocarina on multiple platforms. (N64 + 3DS) Whether you're counting across a single platform or several, Ocarina is the highest selling Zelda.

ALBW will not outsell Skyward Sword, and even if it outsells Spirit Tracks, it will still be on a massive net decline from the days of TP and PH. A small short term rise does not negate a long term decline.

"Biggest" can incorporate many criteria, but sales is the most important. If not that many people even play, it cannot be one of the generation's biggest, no matter how much critics or fans love it.

TP is cross platform game that was released in same time on two devices, so not exactly same thing when they released OoT Remake 13 years after original game on handheld.

I didnt said ALBW will sell better than SS because there is no so much sense to compare handheld Zelda game and home console Zelda game sales because home console Zelda games sales better. I said ALBW will out sell last Zelda handheld game (thats Spirit Tracs) and maybe even early as end of this year because ALBW passed 3m few months ago. And Zelda U will out sell SS, so again, series isn't in decline like you wrote.

Long term decline!? What are you talking about!? Only decline that we had was from TP to SS and from Phantom Hourglass to Spirit Tracks, and that was in one generation.

You didnt answer my question, So you saying that Wii Fit, Wii Play, Wii Fit Plus, NSMB Wii are 3-4 times "bigger" games beacuse they sold 3-4 better than Last Of Us, game that won so many prizes and widely accepted as probably biggest/best game of previous gen!?
