Sell beter yes, every Mario platformer outsold it's Zelda counterpart, because Mario has a much wider audience.
Having more critical acclaim or being "more ambitious" (if one could objectively claim such a thing), I highly doubt it. Zelda broke new grounds, while Mario treads familiar paths.
Personally, while I have been waiting for a Mario 64 2 since, well, Mario 64, so I should be thrilled, I remain a bit reserved on Odyssey. I like the hat mechanic a lot, but the premise and locations (the realistic looking ones at least) seem off to me. Realistic looking humans and realistic looking forests with realistic looking dinosaurs just don't really fit alongside "Mario". I get what they are going for, with having Mario travel to different worlds/dimensions so in that way each world actually should logically look very different, but still, I'm not sure if this was the right way to go. Also I don't think it looks that good, most places seem kind of, plain, or something, to me. Meanwhile Breath of the Wild had ticked every box from the get-go and I knew it would be awesome from the moment it was revealed.
