If TotK released within 2-3 years of BotW (like, say, MM) I'd say, sure, mostly same assets and engine, few different mechanics, they sell what they sell - no big deal, it's a mega expansion of sorts anyway. But it took them 6 years to release TotK, as a full-fledged sequel (which is not quite really), on an installed base of 130+ million devices, and still not hit anywhere near BotW numbers. Yeah, something's not right there from my POV.

If your POV says 'something's not right' with 20M sales in less than a year from a series that traditionally sold less than 10M, then have you considered your POV might be wrong? If you dislike the game and want Nintendo to change direction with the next title, that's fine. But to pretend it isn't a success seems very strange.

Nah, everything is fine with my POV - 20 millions is success compared to pre-BotW titles, not compared to BotW.
BotW successor should've easily surpassed BotW numbers, given the anticipation and user base.
