OoT only sold 7.6 million on the N64.  The Remake will be doing well if it sells a similar amount.  The only Zelda games that can sell 20m+ are based on Breath of the Wild's style.

I don't think that's true; there have been plenty of cases where a remake or remaster sells more than the original game. 

Ocarina 2026 will be selling to a much larger base than the original, in an era where the IP itself has a lot more sway. A lot of the new audience who weren't around in 1998 will want to check it out based on its legendary reputation.

Exceeding 7.6m sales is a reasonable and achievable goal for Ocarina.  Exceeding 20m sales is a much more difficult feat.  That is almost 3x the amount.  Otter is talking like 20m+ sales are a given for Ocarina.  It is unreasonable to expect that. 

There are a lot of "BotW only" type of Zelda fans out there now.  They showed up to buy Tears of the Kingdom, but the other Zelda games on the Switch didn't sell anywhere near those numbers.
