If it's more Mario 64 than 3D World then that should be enough for launch.

Yeah, another underwhelming entry like 3D World won't get them off to a good start, but if it's more along the lines of the series greats (64 and Galaxy) it could be a strong launch title. Not as strong as Breath of the Wild would have been, but better than NSMBU/Nintendoland.

Well there is the fact that their launch isn't tied to the Holidays so if Zelda misses by only a small window, occupying the May window Nintendo has used recently every year, it won't be a massive failure.  In other cases where launch coincides with Holidays, missin by a few months would plant the game squarely in the January and February wasteland.  IF the new Mario is a true Launch title, I could see Zelda occupying that May slot for breathing room.  Though I am MORE interested on what will come in alongside those major pillars.
