For comparison sake, in the post itself of NeoGaf:
Comparison to previous 3D home console Zeldas (source): N64 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time First week: 386.234 LTD: 1.143.570 Nintendo 11/21/1998 N64 The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask FW: 314.044 LTD: 601.542 Nintendo 4/27/2000 NGC The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker FW: 287.346 LTD: 742.609 Nintendo 12/13/2002 WII The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword FW: 194.894 LTD: 349.143 Nintendo 11/23/2011 WII The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess FW: 145.068 LTD: 554.109 Nintendo 12/2/2006 NGC The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess FW: N/A LTD: 70.000 Nintendo 12/2/2006
So retail-wise, Breath of the Wild for Switch is the third least-selling 3D Zelda for homeconsoles, though we're missing the digital sales into the equation.

The lack of digital sales pales in comparison to the fact that only TP for Wii was a launch title. You can't compare launch titles with infintile install bases to those which released years into the consoles life cycle.
