Why would you remove Zelda?

If Twilight Princess is any indication the fact that it's not exclusive won't matter at all. The Gamecube version barely sold anything. 

For the people that don't care about Zelda? I have zero interest in Zelda. So to represent how weak the launch line up is - you remove Zelda.

The launch line up is only "good" when you include that one game. If you remove one game it is a weak lineup. Thus anyone that finds no interest in Zelda considers it a weak line up.

Millions of people care about Zelda so launch sales will be good. By the time every hardcore Zelda fan has bought the Switch there will already be new games released like Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment (new campaign and it releases first on the Switch), Fast RMX, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Arms, Splatoon 2, Sonic Mania, Yooka-Laylee, Snake Pass, etc.

 Besides, I think 1-2 Switch will be a bigger success than most people think. Pre-orders are decent in Japan based on COMG.
