I think they could hit a 2014 release date is they really wanted to (outsource the grunt work to an outside studio).

Skyward Sword will be 3 years old by then.

No one knows how big the Zelda team (EAD.3) really is.

A 2015 release date is more likely, but it isn´t entirely impossible (considering that Aonuma said that the new Zelda WILL be revealed at E3 2014) that they may hit 2014.

He said it will be shown at E3, the reveal will probably be before that. and it looks like monolith is helping the zelda team too. anyway, I don't know why people keep insisting that nintendo won't have competence to finish this game in 3 years total.

Monolith Soft probably doesn't do much with the Zelda games, even if their company name has been mentioned in every Zelda credits since they were bought. If they had anything important to do with it their names would be listed (maybe some are, there are a lot more people mentioned in total in SS than in the credits in TP, so the Zelda team certainly has been growing a lot.

From an interview published just a few days ago:

Siliconera: I’m seeing that Monolith Soft is popping up in a lot of games. To what extent are they involved with the main company now that they’ve been assimilated into Nintendo?

Reggie: They may be there [in the end credits of those games] but I would be careful looking too much into that.
