5 million range seller isn't going to move Switch 2 systems, 5 million software sales is not a big deal for Nintendo. Clubhouse Games on Switch 1 sold almost 5 million copies.

You need something that's going to sell 10++ million, probably more ideally 15 million+ if this is the big holiday title for 2026.

And to hit that kind of sales it has to be a very significant remaster/remake. I think they want to do someting big anyway, they've been sitting on that realistic Zelda demo since 2011, I don't think the Switch 1 was capable of running that in real time with lots of enemies on screen and larger environments, but Switch 2 easily can. Switch 2 is probably the hardware they were waiting for.

So that probably aligns as well. Switch 2 can run this with massive open world areas and more than just 2 characters on screen easily

I don't think Switch 1/Wii U could run this as a game, even with fixed camera angles and no gameplay you could see the demo was dropping below 30 fps and that's with a pretty empty environment. 

I really don’t get why you think a 15 year old tech demo is what they will use as the base of the game.

Reusing the engine/assets from BotW/TotK makes 100000% more sense and would save time/money.
