I predict we'll SEE Zelda U next year...either in a Nintendo Direct early in 2014 or else at E3 at the very latest. However, I think they'll announce at E3 that, "we need a little more time before it's ready...please understand this situation," and tentatively give it a Spring 2015 release window. Then, much time will pass without a peep and then come E3 2015, they'll finally show an update on the title and announce that it's been delayed to Holiday 2015, where it will indeed release on the last Sunday before Thanksgiving in November 2015.
To the OP, were it to come out November 2014, I would be overjoyed...though given that they'll likely have X, Yarn Yoshi, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, Bayonetta 2, and possibly Super Smash Bros. (Sakurai tends to delay just like the Zelda team in favor of polish and quality assurance) all as potential 2nd-half 2014 games, I think I'd rather they took the extra time on it anyway to really make it something special.
