It's difficult to say how significant an effect that will have had (the biggest sales day for major new releases tends to be Day 1), but it will have contributed to it yes. The Switch's supply issues will probably have mitigated that to a degree though.
What's surprising is that it happened at all though. Not many people expected Horizon to sell 1.5+ million, so by extension it beating Zelda (even if probably only temporerily) is surprising. It's a brand new IP and it's within a stones throw of Uncharted 4 numbers. That's somewhat unexpected :p
