Or some people have a hard time making a distinction between a big line up and a good one, a good one makes you want to buy the console, a big one is just big, following the logic of this kind of forums Wiiu had a way better launch up, but that's just wrong, as hardcore Nintendo fan as I can be I thought WiiU had an awfull launch up, i recomended people not to buy it and i completely ignored it for more than a year (yes, me ignoring a Nintendo console, that some epic achievement), and so did everyone, but the thing is that is not gonna happen with Switch and BoTW has a lot to do with it, a single game can make an entire line up good as long as it achieves the purpose of a good launch up: make you want to buy the console.

What you describe is a system seller. A game that makes you want to buy the system. That game can come out anytime during a console's lifespan, depending on the gamer's needs and taste. That one game doesn't constitute a lcunah line-up, obviously enough. 

A launch line-up of games is simply that, a line-up of games ready for the launch of a platform. In this case, it is very limited in scope/choices. Meaning that, in the Switch's case, if you're not into that one high profile game, you're left with an anemic selection. 

Honestly, if someone is getting a Nintendo console at launch and is not interested on the most appealing Zelda Nintendo has ever done, chances are that person is part of the other kind of nintendo consumer, the one interested on things like 1-2 Switch and Just Dance. For the rest, they just have to wait a bit, as with every launch up, none satisfy everybody's needs.
