probably more hype for this Zelda game than one in a LONGGG time. I think with the combined Wii U + NX platforms it could easily go over 10 million. Maybe a surprising prediction considering how Zelda's have sold in the past but, again, the hype is extremely high on this game and the open world adventure genre is one of the most popular these days and this is the first Zelda to have that
if Splatoon can sell like 4 million on the Wii U then I would be surprised if BotW couldn't do the same, and then if NX does well (which I expect it to) then Zelda will sell massively.
bear in mind that generally speaking Nintendo has not released consoles with Zelda games. A huge percentage of the early adopters of the NX are going to get Zelda
