Zelda U will release the Friday or Sunday before Black Friday in November 2015. Calling it now. It COULD appear or be teased in a big Nintendo Direct early next year, but most likely it will be shown at E3 2014...they'll say, "we would like to take a little more time to make sure it's ready...please understand this situation." It will reappear at E3 2015 and finally get a Holiday 2015 release window. Like others have said, they have plenty of high-quality exclusives slated for 2014 already. 

It will be one of their worst mistakes for this console. Unless they replace this game as the big holiday 2014 delaying SSB. Or what do you expect them to release off next holidays?

I DO expect Smash Bros. to be the big November Holiday 2014 title actually. Nintendo has NEVER given any indication that Smash Bros. would come in the first half of the year. And I honestly feel like in Nintendo's mind...Mario Kart 8 (arguably the Wii U's single biggest potential "system seller" in the long run) releasing in "spring" (ie. March or April most likely) makes them think once that's out, they can afford to have a month or 2 without any other major games leading up to E3. Obviously I hope that's not the case, but I could see Nintendo thinking that way. So that would then leave Smash Bros., Monolith Soft's "X," and Yarn Yoshi as the most likely fall/holiday lineup. Bayonetta 2 is a mystery at this point as it could realistically fall in the first half OR the 2nd half of the year, and depending on Platinum's projections, could determine when Nintendo releases some of their own games. Either way though, while as a HUGE Zelda fanboy I would LOVE to believe they could have a Zelda ready for Holiday 2014, I don't expect that to happen in the slightest.
