Yes they were. MM was originally announced as an OoT expansion called Zelda: Gaiden and planned for '99. TWW's original release date in both Japan and NA was '02, and while it barely made that in Japan it was delayed to '03 for everywhere else. Had Nintendo decided to finish the two dungeons that were still being worked on in TWW and never saw release, it would have been a typical year delay. But that was one of the rare occurences they didn't opt for a big delay to finish a Zelda game. |
In the case of Zelda Gaiden, they have to delay because the N64DD never made the overseas.
And with TWW, they actually needed more time but at least they released in the promise date. This one is not going to be released in 2015 even in Japan.
