Right.  Because the spin off, developed by a 3rd party, is going to completely change the release date for one of their most anticipated titles on the console.

Since you seem to know their release schedule plans so well, tell us what else is coming and when and if any other titles played a role in when they release too.

This direct was supposed to tell us that. And you must be joking if you believe they will release the Musou spin-off and the real entry the same year at the same console.

It wouldn't even surprise me if this is a an emergency game greenlited to fill the gap because Aonuma wanted more time. Just as the greenlited TWW at the last minute.

The Direct was about next years early releases, not end of year releases.

And yes, they could easily release both games in the same year.  Why wouldn't they?  They've done it with other franchises.  A spin off is not a end of year release.  Look at WW HD.  That wasn't the end of the year either.  And that was followed shortly by A Link Between Worlds.  Different console but THAT was an end of year Zelda title.
