Well, on Wii U they didn't release a Zelda game within the first years (but it wouldn't have helped the system though). During the Wii era they moved more SKUs with Wii Sports and Wii Fit than Mario & Zelda, but usually your mentioned pattern is correct for any new Nintendo system. I mean, it's obvious to release your system sellers quite soon to move some units, because a large install base is the key for selling software.
On the other hand, Sony doesn't seem to have such a concept.

It didnt even get a "real" 3D mario... (I dont count Super Mario 3D World as one).
(its like a isometric (kinda) from the side, 2D ish 3D)

BoTW came to the WiiU but basically by the time it was dead already.

Nintendo shouldnt underestimate how big demand is for these two titles on their systems.
3D mario + good Zelda game, is basically the minimum that needs to be done for a nintendo system, going forwards or it ll end up another WiiU.

I dare say that any Nintendo System, that gets a fantastic 3D mario + Zelda, early in the gen, is going to do fine.
