Breath of the Wild was the perfect launch game. The concept of the Switch was cool by itself, but it needed a strong title at launch to help sell it, and you couldn't ask for much better than BotW. While it's far from my favorite Zelda game (that distinction still goes to A Link to the Past), it's beloved by many and is often considered the best or second-best game in the series by most, and is by far the best-selling entry in the series. I remember reading about how so many people were excited to play it that more copies of BotW were sold than Switch systems that March. That means some people that couldn't find a Switch at launch still bought a copy of BotW for it in anticipation of playing it once they could find a Switch. Now that's hype.
