No.... BOTW had a much larger budget than $20m
Here's what Miyamoto said in June 2016:
"Breath of the Wild has over 100 staff, and over 300 people in the credits, spending over 5 years. Our current efforts will be helpful in the next production. The costs will be recovered by selling in large volumes, passing 2 million sales."
If we assume that Nintendo only gets $40 profit after shipping/retailer fees that's still $80m to break even.
And the 2m sales to break even may have even increased over the next 9 months until the game released.
BOTW budget was probably between $75-90m
