Hardly comparable situations, because OoT 3DS is simply a remaster to adapt the N64 version to the 3DS, whereas REmake is a full remake that completely revamped Spencer Mansion's, changed the gameplay, altered dialogues and got rid of some of the original parts in the vanilla version.

To put it simply, when we look at games like The Last of Us, which had an original and a remaster version, we simply calculate its whole sales by lumping each one's totals sales. So we could say that The Last of Us as an IP has sold over 10 million units; if we break it in sales, we see that PS3 version sold around seven millions, and the PS4, around four.

There's simply no reason to not do the same with Ocarina of Time, especially when both versions are practically the same minus the graphic treatment to put the N64 game on 3DS. So yeah, Ocarina of Time has sold more than Twilight Princess. Thanks to a remaster years later after the original N64 release? Undoubtful. But it still beat TP in sales.

They're very much comparable as the game had quite a bit of work to be redone to the assets and had features added to revamp the experience as well, TLOU maybe a remaster but it's not to the same extent as it mainly comes down to it being uprezzed and having better performance, I don't even count their sales together regardless.

Simply put OOT 3DS is a new revamped release, if you're going to count it as one you may as well count REmake and RE1 as one sale.
