Which makes me worry for the success of the game. Having what should be a cornerstone game for the Switch being released on year 8 of the console’s life span is not a good look. I want this to be good; I’ve been wanting this game ever since I finished Metroid Prime 3 back in 2007, I just hope it’s not too late to still find success.

I bet they will do this. I remember they did this with Twilight Princess as well.

In terms of gameplay I think the Sheikah Slate functions were mirrored on the Wii-U pad (at least that was likely the original intent.
The Wii-U emulator was also a lot more developed when BotW released, so if you pirated it at launch the Wii-U version was the one to go with.
