Agreed Splatoon and Breath of the Wild is the way forward for Nintendo. Instead of shunning modern game mechanics, they embrace them and are still uniquely Nintendo. 

And the audiences you attract from said games are a reliable base of consumer going forward ... unlike the audience you get from Wii Sports/Fit/Nintendogs/Brain Training. 

Nintendo can make Splatoon games for the next 10-20+ years now, BoTW can be the basis for Zelda games for the next 10-15 years. 

How about a first person shooter franchise, eh Nintendo? 

or 1 2 Switch?

That was my round about way of saying it, but sure. Zelda is clearly what's driving Switch adoption if they didn't have that game at launch they could very easily be in a world of trouble right now (see also: 3DS launch).
