How do you know that? Do you have a transcript of what was originally said in the interview?

No, but I've been told that here and on other sites several times by various people years ago already. I'm sure someone who actually speaks Japanese is better at translating this than some useless machine translation. They always make mistakes.

I read it myself now. What he said was that the game had more then 300 people credited for it and that the development took more then 5 years, he then goes on to say that the cost problem is covered by selling more then 2 million copies worldwide. He was definitively talking specifically about BOTW.

It's not like everyone else was just using Google Translate either. The Forbes article was written by Ollie Barder who is a Japanese speaker and have lived in Japan for 20 years.

Original quote:

"宮本:ブレスオブザワイルドに100名を越える体制、クレジットに入れている人数だと300名以上、5年以上費やしている。今回は苦労しているが、次回作に役に立つ。コスト問題はソフトを200万本以上という大量に売ることで回収する。国内市場だけだと30万本でヒットだが、世界に向けて売る。"
