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.

BoTW/ToTK is honestly probably the inferior engine, whatever this was they almost definitely were not running it on stock Wii U hardware. I think part of the reason they changed to the BoTW more cartoony look was because the above wasn't possible on the Wii U in an actual playable game situation.

The original BoTW demo they showed too looked better than the final game as well, I think they had to downgrade again from that to get it running on a Wii U with the scale of environments the game demanded. Likely they had some kind of Wii U dev kit model that was significantly more powerful than the final hardware. 

Or tech demos just don’t have any actual bearing on what games they will release. Look at the early Zelda & Mario tech demos for GameCube that were nothing like the games we ended up getting, Wind Waker & Sunshine.
