BoTW is not a backport. It was announced originally for Wii U and came out the same day. There's not really very many remakes or remasters on Wii U, there's some enhanced ports of PS3/360 games but if you remove enhanced ports a lot of DC games disappear too...

The 783 game list also doesn't include any of the virtual console games and there's some really good stuff there that getting a hold of on the original system is pricey like Metroid Fusion and Ogre Battle 64.

Wii U games have the benefit of still being good today. Most DC games you need to add the caveat "for the time". There's also plenty of trash on DC too. I'm sure if you actually picked any random game it would more likely be trash than good. Wii U also has that problem but all consoles do.
