I understand the delay. It will be a huge game, and I expect it to be if not the best, one of the best Zeldas ever made. I would wait until its release to see if this delay is justified, I hope so. But, what bothers me is this: if you cannot say a realistic date, don't say it. Wait until it's safe. I know all the companies do that, but it's not justifiable.

It's right now a bad sign, but what can we expect? After holiday 2010 the decided to delay SS for holiday 2011. After that, we expect to see great games on Wii U at launch, and what we got? Nothing.

What's the chances of nintendo releasing Twilight princess HD this year to fill the void? They must have some kind of back up plan.

I'm leaning towards Holiday 2016,which is pretty sad

1) Yea but I doubt they would scrap the whole entire world for this... If anything, they are simply just adding in things...

2/3) I dont like delays either and publishers should just do a TBA if they really don't have a solid release window but it is what it is

4) Okay, I thought I read it was 10 people somewhere but WWHD was developed in 6 months and OOT3d and MM3d was co-developed by Grezzo and not to mention that HD development is a lot harder than 3ds development in terms of porting so I highly doubt those took very long or much man power

6) Well the transition from wii to wiiU is a bigger step than ps2 to ps3 or ps3 to ps4 and the wiiU has some dx11/dx10 (or equivalent) features which they can use in their next gen console where as since the wii was soo weak, a lot of the things were new to them with the wiiU. Whatever they learn now, a lot should be usable in their next gen console imo

I don't see the delay as a declaration of Nintendo reconstructing or changing the game they are already making. If anything, they only figured they needed more time for exactly that, and for adding the new ideas they came up with in the midst of development. Which has always been the case.

1) Delays are not always good for Zelda.

4) And people told me Hyrule Warriors will be completly third party and we know how that ended.

6) It will help for sure in case the future development tools are similar to the Wii U ones.

So youre done with consoles and are going to pc? but pc shares the same AAA games now...?

That was my original prediction before I went optimistic. Guess this is the last time.

The game is not going to be even at E3 because they don't want to show it. That doesn't ring the alarms for you?
