Reasons why none of this matters:
1. Zelda shouldn't be considered the big holiday title for Nintendo. Yes, the core love it, but it's sales won't hold a candle to 2009's trio of 10m sellers. Nintendo has other unrevealed titles that we should consider more lucrative. If it gets delayed to 2011, it won't be that big of a deal.
2. Metroid is an even smaller franchise than Zelda, so it wouldn't make sense to delay that game just to "make up" for the lost sales of Zelda. The last Metroid sold less than Wii Music.
3. Metroid was delayed to the end of august, which isn't the holiday season.
