Perhaps, but that remains to be seen and splatoon still hasn't outsold multiple games in the Zelda series. While splatoon performed well on a bad console it also had no competition whatsoever. Your expectations of splatoon might be the overstated importance. But we'll see how splatoon does from here on out.
Don't forget that the high points of Zelda sales wise are pretty high, and BOTW is another title akin to the hype of those high points as well. The lower points of the series sell about on par with Splatoon, main console wise (and sometimes handheld wise). Splatoond numbers are only impressive given the console it's on but again, lack of competition puts that into question.
