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.

According to you, Zelda automatically appeals to anyone who likes Metroid, Super Mario, Mario Kart, Pokemon, Pikmin, F-Zero, StarFox, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Paper Mario, etc... You either like them all, or you're "that other kind of customers". Honestly, what a narrow minded way of seeing things. -____-
