But that's not correct. BOTW is being as well received as TP or OoT.
Between Switch and Wii U, Breath of the Wild has already outsold OoT's N64 run in less than a year.
It has also sold more than 2.4 million more copies on Switch than Twilight Princess sold in on Wii during a similar period of time.
Hell, more copies of Breath of the Wild (2 million for a total of 6.7 million on Switch) were sold from Oct-Dec 2017 alone (the period beginning 7 months after Breath of the Wild's launch and ending Dec 31, 10 months after launch) than Twilight Princess sold (1.25 million for a total of 4.7 million on Wii) in Wii's
entire first full fiscal year on the market (which began 5 months after Twilight Princess's launch and ended March 31, 16.5 months after launch).
Breath of the Wild sold much better at launch, and it's continuing to sell
much, much, much better after launch.
Breath of the Wild's popularity blows Twilight Princess's out of the water. It will break Twilight Princess's LTD sales within the next six months, and likely go on to sell several million more units after that. It is a massive growth phenomenon for the franchise.
Odyssey so far is nowhere near the more popular recent installments of Mario (namely the NSMB games), and it's on the way to maybe overtake Galaxy. But then again, someone will argue that Odyssey can't be compared to NSMB for whatever reason.
On a launch-aligned basis, Odyssey has an even greater lead over Galaxy than Breath of the Wild has on Twilight Princess.
It's absolutely a new height of popularity for 3D Mario games. People generally separate the 3D games from the 2D games, since they have generally been substantially less popular than the 2D games. But Odyssey has moved the needle so much that there's a smaller gap between it and NSMB Wii than there is between Galaxy and it.
