There is absolutely no way this game will live up to the hype. We know this already.

Therefore, Nintendo needs to ride that wave high and damage control later. Most importantly they need to take advantage of the hype first, and the game second. Hype it, hype it Nintendo.

Why do we know it won't live up to the hype? Damn near every Zelda has.

Because they will be overcompensating this time.

A lot of the people who will latch onto Zelda are not very happy with Nintendo, so their emotions are resting on the idea of this Zelda being absolutely fantastic, and they want it to happen. If Nintendo gives a teaser, and it looks good enough, that will be sufficient to initiate an upward spiral of hype and imagination, that will eventually carry over to the rest of the Zelda players, that may not have had as many hopes.

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. In my opinion Nintendo needs this badly as a matter of system momentum. That aspect of hype in advance is something all the consoles have had plenty of, and it does play an important role. The reason why I don't think it will live up to the hype is because by the time it comes out it will be set way too high. Probably higher than even the most anticipated Zelda games from before.
