If the NX launches with Zelda, and its sales explode on release like the Wii 's, then from now on nintendo better launch every new console with a mainline zelda game.Same with mario, no more 2D sidescrolling Marios, a 3D one on console launch should be a must for nitnendo.

Games sell consoles, and as much as anyone might denie it, Nintendo = mario & zelda, without those on a system, it just wont sell.

Look at what happend with Wii U.

It launched without a 3D mario, or a Zelda game. Its honestly something Nintendo cant afford to do, it hurts them too much.

Frankly, Zelda U could be the best reviewed game of all time and NX still wouldn't sell like Wii. 

And it's not as simple as Nintendo = Mario and Zelda. Other franchises like Splatoon and Smash Bros are important as well.

Of Course, OoT is best reviewed game ever and N64 sold 3 time less than PS1. But having Zelda U like launch title will definatly help NX.
