Ocarina will wipe the floor with it sales wise. If it goes as far to be a reimagining, I could see it doing 20m LT.

Revelation will be massively lucky to hit 5m LT whereas I think Ocarina will sell that in its first 6 weeks on market.

Review wise its another story, I'd bet on Revelations. A more direct remake I think will see Ocarina perform in the high 80s whereas a reimagining should be in the 90s. Critics really loved Rebirth despite of its many flaws, so I'm sure they'll love revalations see it hit 90 at least.

With a multiplatform release, the trilogy reaching its conclusion, and SquareEnix possibly copying Capcom's discount model, I want to think Revelation has the potential to pass 8 million copies sold lifetime, and naturally Remake and Rebirth should sell a lot more when twin and triple packs are taken into account. I think Remake is past 10 million and will leg it out to 13 million+.

OoT's performance will depend on what it actually is. If it's closer to a highend remaster (in the vein of Demon's Souls, TLoU Part 1, Nsane Trilogy, etc), I expect 10-15 million. If it's more like a reimagination or a full remake, then 20 million is possible, though we need to keep in mind that the Switch 2 is probably not coming close Switch 1's installbase, which should negatively affect the long term sales of all titles.
