From my POV, this is a good thing - 35% less sales on much larger user base just might signal them that they didn't fix BotW problems with TotK design choices.
So who knows, they might actually make the next one be much closer representation of design concepts of original LoZ, while keeping good things from BotW/TotK.

If your going to play that game, might wanna check

- LoZ vs LoZ II
- OOT vs MM
- WW vs TP (GCN)
- TP vs SS (Wii)
- LA vs OOS/OOA

would be interesting to see their % differences.

Edit: Also, when the Switch is finally done, the % of BotW vs TotK should be a lot lower than 35%

And even disregarding all that...Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom both are far and away the #1 and #2 best selling Zelda titles of all time. 31 million and 20 million vs #3 at I believe 7.9 Million or something. So even if Tears of the Kingdom is lower than BOTW by a third it's still leagues ahead of the next runner up. 

I do need to check it out. Not actually sure on OOT's numbers but I do know that OOT is #2 and even with OOT3D on top it doesn't come close to either BOTW of TOTK.

**Edit** https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda

Looks like OOT with all versions is 14.04 million. And a shocking #4 was Link's Awakening, majorly due to the Switch port. 

#1 - Breath of the Wild - 33.55 Million

#2 - Tears of the Kingdom - 20.61 Million

#3 - Ocarina of Time - 14.04 Million

#4 - Link's Awakening - 12.68 Million

#5 - Twilight Princess - 10.02 Million

All outstanding games in their own right if I do say so myself.
