I'm also a little surprised there are so many people saying this won't make it. If Link's Crossbow training can make it to nearly 5m; this should absolutely breeze past 1m.
Even with the WiiU's hardware troubles, software sells mostly alright on it.
They've got the Zelda connection for the west. They've got the musou connection for the east. Pretty sorted, to be honest.
I can't see why not. I'll be getting it anyway!

Crossbow Training was $20 and was bundled with an accessory. It was a cheap way to get a game like Wii Play controller bundle.
It was also on the Wii, not the Wii U. Situations are very different.

Okay. So Wind Waker HD then. Which will crack a million despite being far from the most popular Zelda; a HD remake and on a struggling console.
I genuinely don't believe that the Zelda brand doesn't have enough clout to pull a game past a million, no matter what the state of the console it's releasing on. Unless we're looking at a Donkey Kong style collapse (and that game should still reach 1m easily with legs), it should be easy.
i like hack'n'slash games and i like zelda. instabuy for me
We reap what we sow
I have always been a Koei fan, so good luck to them.
Im not sure it will though.

Wind Waker is also a full fledged Zelda title, no a Musou game. While yes, it was only a HD remaster, that has far more appeal than a Musou title.

Fair comparison. Though, Four Swords Adventures also only fell about ~ 50k copies short, so I still don't think it's too big of a stretch.
I think it can do it.
If I had a Wii U i'd buy it.
That said, i'd be kind of shocked if it sold more then half that.
Dynasty Warriors games sell more on the story then the gameplay, which is why their numbers keep dropping for the main line franchise, they can only tell the same story so many times.
Zelda... is sort of the opposite it sells on it's gameplay, and not the story.
Take the gameplay of a game that doesn't sell on gameplay.
And the story of a game that doesn't sell on story... and i feel like there is a problem brewing.
If the Zelda Team made a game about Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fighting Cao Cao it'd probably sell better.
