I don't know why everyone thinks it needs to be released during a Christmas. Nintendo often releases big games at other times of year, including MK8 this spring. I think November 2014 is possible for Zelda, but if it's not quite ready i can see a spring 2015 launch.

As far as I know, every 3D Zelda was released during christmas or around it, even the latest portables:

- OoT Nov 1998

- MM Oct 2000

- TWW Holiday 2002 (japan)

- TP Nov 2006

- ST Dec 2009

- SS Nov 2011

- ALBW Nov 2013

Wind Waker released in the West in spring 2003, they rushed it for Japan and in hindsight that was a mistake as they had to cut out dungeons to make that release date. Zelda III: A Link to the Past was also released in spring 1992 for the SNES in North America.
