Skyward Sword also had the largest dev team of any Nintendo game ever when it was made, but still took 5 years.

And even if they try to step up the pace this time, HD development takes longer than Wii-level development.

Skyward sword took that long because of motion plus, wich was implemented when the game was already several years in development.

I don't know why people pretend to ignore this fact and use SS as an example. 3 years is the usual zelda dev time.

Wrong. There has literally not been a single console Zelda that released 3 years after it's predecessor. Here are the Japanese release dates of every past major console Zelda:

LoZ: February 1986

Zelda II: January 1987

LttP: November 1991

OoT: November 1998

MM: April 2000

WW: December 2002

TP: November 2006

SS: November 2011

Average time between two console Zeldas (not that it matters): 3,7 years
