Isolating the UK, Astro has continued to chart ahead of Zelda in the physical charts since about mid November. Going by typical physical digital split, that I think would put Astro a fair bit ahead in weekly sales physical+digital.
This week in the UK physical chart
Astro 15
Zelda 23
If this pattern keeps trend in other western markets, it'd probably equal out/compensate for the Astro's weak Japanese performance. Zelda still has the benefit from a much bigger launch but come Switch 2 I'd expect Astro's legs to make more and more of difference. But yeah, we won't see Astro catching up to Zelda (if it ever does) til some point next year
