Appealing only to the fans who will buy it anyway is foolish though, that only limits your potential audience. There are enough Zelda fans to support Wind Waker/Skyward Sword levels of sales. To reach Twilight Princess levels, you need to reach beyond just the established fanbase.

No, foolish is to make something that people actually buy your product dont want, that would be really foolish. Also Zelda U art style is far more appealing than WW/SS and almost everybody like it, reception about art style and graphics Zelda U were great.

Again, didn't had that sales because of art style and more dark look.

Hardcore fans will buy it regardless of its art style. But mainstream gamers prefer "serious" graphics to cartoon graphics, as you have already admitted and as the weekly sales charts prove. Appealing only to a fanbase that can support 4-5 million sales is foolish when you can reach wider and sell better.

Your problem is that you are only thinking of what you want, rather than  what the market wants, which is Nintendo's problem also.

Hardcore will probably buy it regardless, but not everybody will be satisfied.I also said that not mainstream gamers don't want only "serious" graphics (I already mentioned to you examples). No, its not appeling to fanbase that can support 4-5 million sales if Zelda U is also NX launch title and great Zelda game, we are talking here about similar TP numbers.

Of Course I thinking what I want (same like you), Nintendo is thinking what people that buying their product wants and that's good thing, you constantly saying like that is bad thing but its not.

At end of day, you thinking that Zelda U art style is not good choice (even has great reception from whole market) for Zelda game and that more "serious" graphics would be better, you also think that game will not sell great only because of art style. I think that Zelda U are style is just beautiful and perfect especially if we having on mind Wii U hardware, I dont think that series need more serious look only because "mainstream gamers", and if Zelda U is NX launch title also I expecting that will be one of the best selling Zelda games.
