Maybe, depends on how good it truly is when it launches

But I do honestly think that it will beat Majoras Mask

It will certainly not be the worst selling Zelda. That is definitely something I know for a fact. If Smash Bros has an attach rate of 1/4 on the Wii U and has already sold over 2m in a little over a month, Zelda will definitely sell at least 3m in over a month. Then you have legs to consider. It will probably sell over 6m.

lolno.. It will surely outsell Majora's Mask, Skyward Sword and even Wind Waker! For the record, that 4.5 million figure for the WW is not accurate.

Well vgchartz had WW at 4.55m and that information posted on neogaf the other day had it at 4.43m and that was apparently nintendo's own data.

Weird.. Every site I found says that the WW sold 3.07 million..

Attach rates tend to be meaningless for marquee games, as these are the games people buy the console for.

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Why do you believe this? Aside from the obvious I'd say Zelda is less popular now then its ever been.

Smash Bros is significantly bigger then Zelda, whatever smash sells, cut it almost in half and then you probably have Zelda Wii U's LT.

Brawl: 12.5m >>> Twilight Princess: 7m

Melee 7m >>> WindWaker: 4.6

I'm certain that 3.07m figure was during 2003 after only a few months on sale, it continued to sell well throughout gamecubes lifetime. Nintendo's million seller list had it at 4.43m on gamecube so i think vgchartz tracked it pretty well.

I believe Minish Cap sold like only 1 million no? That must be the worst, will means Zelda HD is going to sell less than a million according to OP?

Edit: Home console, my bad.

Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Actually vgchartz has WW at 4.6m not 4.5m but still pretty good tracking.
