Those aren't related to this. Nintendo has been clear about this. The films are made to proliferate their IP, not to sell individual games.

They go hand and hand. Why release a Zelda film in 2018 when a game isn't coming out until 2022? It makes no business sense.

No they don't. The movie aren't being made to sell individual games. They are being made to make their franchises household names again. You're looking at this whole thing with a tunnel vision Nintendo isn't suffering from. This isn't about their games. It's about their IP. It doesn't matter if a new Zelda doesn't come our for 20 years. They'll make a Zelda movie whenever they need to because it's about the Zelda brand. The movie is what they're selling at that point. That's the main Zelda product of that year. This stuff isn't secondary to the games just because they are supplementary to them.
