Of course it'll stand out, especially when central Zelda games keep such a clean track record despite antiquated controversies. Sword and Shield may have been the first mainlines strictly available for home consoles, but the Switch and its Mini variant blur that line well enough to break the case, and yet sold gangbusters anyway. Because it's still a mainline Pokemon game being touted in the not-so-1996-world.
Metroid is one very common example of a series receiving such unfortunate treatment.
