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!?

Both games are on multiple platforms. Whether you measure their total, or on a single platform (TP Wii vs Ocarina 64) the game with the most copies in players hands in Ocarina.  But we are going off track; the point is, no, you do not have to compare to Twilight Princess for recent Zelda sales to look small; compared to Ocarina or the NES original, they're comparatively small also.

As I've said, things like cultural impact do play a part, as with TLOU, so putting a number like "3-4 times" to it serves little purpose, but sales are the final decider, as a game cannot be among the biggest of the generation if not many people even played it.

I get what you are saying, that to you Zelda will be one of the best/biggest games of this gen, and thats fine, but you need to realize that to the market at large, it will not be. It will be highly rated by critics and well liked by the small and shrinking band of Nintendo diehards, but most gamers will not even care about it.

But my point is that Zelda U will not have small sales compared to best selling Zelda's (NES Zelda, OoT, TP), it will sold more than previous Zelda SS and handheld Zelda will also outsell previous Zelda.

Again, "biggest"/best game doesn't equals best sales, thats is a fact. Wii Play is one of the biggest seller of previous gen, do you consider Wii Play for biggest/best of generation!? So you basically saying that TLOU isn't one of the"biggest"/best game of previous gen!?

It not just for me, Zelda U will be one of the "biggest"/best games of generation, same like probably The Last Guardian or Uncharted 4..or TLOU last gen, all those games will (or were) attract great attention of whole gaming community and gamers not just people who having PS4, PS3 or in case of Zelda U Wii U. Do you realise that Zelda U have great chance to be GOTY or even GOTG, only that make it one of the "biggest"/best games of generation. Again, one of the "biggest" game does not equal one of the best selling game.
