It's also on every platform, including the Switch, while TotK is just on the Switch.
Yeah this feels like a Look What They Have to Do (release on every system) to Mimic a Fraction of Our Power (be Zelda) meme.
More like: Even a bland game will sell more if it is released on multiple platforms, no matter how good the other game is.

Yep it's an unfair comparison. If Zelda was available on all platforms then it might have been a different story.
But it isn't, and that is the problem.
