I told people here that Smash would be Nintendo's holiday title for 2014, not Zelda. Looks like I'm right.

I was right there with you on that one. There was no way they were going to release Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros really close together. Wii U is already pretty set for the 2nd half of 2014 now with Bayonetta 2, Monolith Soft's "X," Super Smash Bros., Hyrule Warriors, possibly Yarn Yoshi, etc. Zelda will be shown at E3 and they'll say coming in 2015, with no concrete details on when...and then it'll wind up being the big title for holiday 2015. Now, the real problem is that big, gaping hole between DK in February and MK8 in May...I REALLY hope they have SOMETHING for the gap, but I have a feeling they'll probably release Boxing and Baseball for Wii Sports Club and mention some of the Indie eShop titles that could release in that period as if those will be enough. 

I have always fully believed that Smash Bros will be the big holiday 2014 title, however, it's worth mentioning that SOME people have reported that Miyamoto actually said Smash will arrive BY the end of 2014, not AT the end. So, it's possible they just haven't locked down exactly when it will be done (which is understandable because Sakurai is a perfectionist). And if that's the case, then maybe it could come sooner, or maybe they'll release the 3DS version sooner or something. Either way, I still think Zelda is 2015 100%.
