The success of the switch is in part built on the failure of the WiiU and the mediocre success of the 3DS. Without them as precursors the switch would not have the same games. Rereleasing WiiU titles worked because so few had played them so for the most part they where new experiences.
Getting a Zelda game as a release title has happened twice. Both times the console they where originally developed for was considered failures and both consoles they ported to as one of the first titles saw more success than most of the other systems. I do not think it needs to be Zelda, but having a high end title from start on a new system helps a lot. If switch would release instead of the WiiU that title would be missing.
