Nobody acts like it's not there. You just fail to understand that one game doesn't make a good line-up by itself. No matter how great the game is. 

Choices from a good range of compelling games is what constitutes a good line-up. What the Switch has in store for its launch is anemic at best. No matter how great BOTW is.

Oh please Hynad, plenty of peoplke acts like is not there, how many times have you heard the "but is only a wiiu game" excuse?

As for the rest, I've answerd you a second before you wrote this

That's not an excuse it is a valid point.  If I didn't have a Wii U I would be buying Switch day 1 to play the new Zelda.  Instead I will be waiting until the new Mario game drops to pick up the Switch during the holiday while buying BotW on my Wii U.  As others have mentioned early adopters are going to make the Switch launch a success regardless of the line-up.  However, the line-up - even with Zelda - is a weak line-up.  It has a great game in it that will sell well on the Wii U and probably sell gangbusters on the Switch, but that doesn't save it from being a weak line-up.
