It should be noted that now that they're dealing with HD-level development,it will take longer to make than an equivalent Wii-level Zelda.

It's pretty clear that they have learned some things and are much quicker at it now. WWHD did only take 6 months (I know it's a remake but that is still really quick for a pretty small team of developers).

All that really needed was a graphical overhaul though.

A new game requires everything from ground-up asset creation, to dungeon/world/character design.
