based on the information provided above, does anyone have a realistic estimate for how much development time is left? Obviously no one will exactly know, but is it unreasonable to believe that a Holiday 2010 release might happen?

Nintendo seem to be operating on shorter development times for some big games these days, so I wouldn't be too surprised.

 

This is the only contender for their "big game" of 2010, if they manage to make it into a bridge game in the vein of Mario Kart Wii and NSMB. I'm skeptical that they will achieve anything like that though. It would be perfectly doable, but I don't think the way they seem to be approaching it is going to result in that.

From what we've heard so far, I agree (though I couldn't say for sure, we don't have much to go by).

The thing about Zelda is, more so than any of Nintendo's titles, it is the core game. By that I mean, if they "screw" this up (by reviews / metacritic standards) due to making it more accessible / a bridge title, the internet would literally explode. Ha, I wonder how Eiji Aonuma would feel about that... considering how he still goes on about topping Ocarina of Time.
