You are right then, but then Zelda Wii would have had more than 5 years before release considering that Zelda TP was mostly done before it's release date. This time around they really were slow with the production, and it all seems slower when too few titles worth playing are getting released. By next year it will be all good, but the constant and long SW droughts really make these 5 - 6 year development cycles seem terrible.
