They don't release Zelda titles on the hoem consoles outside of the holidays.  They ARE the end of year big title much like the mainline Mario series.

Which proves they are able to delay games to fit the traditional release date. They could well have finished at january 2015 and still release at holiday. And we don't know how much resources is Nintendo putting in this title. We though someone else was doing WWHD and in the end it was the Zelda team.

Yes, they will delay it to fit into the end of year schedule but not delay it a year simply because a spin off exists during the same year.

As for WW HD, that team also developed A Link Between Worlds.  Those 2 games would have a far greater impact on the release date of Zelda Wii U than will this spin off (especially as it's not even developed by Nintendo at all).

It took that team 5 years on an standard definition console to go from Twilight Princess to Skyward Sword.   Did you really expect a quick 3 year gap on a high definition console between Skyward Sword and Zelda Wii U?  And that this game, out of all 3 noted Zelda games, would be the one that pushes the release date back a year?

SS took 5 years because Aonuma changed the artstyle and controls with the motion plus implementation, not because it was 5 year development cycle. Also, from TWW to TP (which was a bigger jump) there was a real gap of 3 years. Don't see the point to not be released 3 years after SS.
