A new console Zelda comes out every 5 years, last one was in 2011, so next will be in 2016. This year is too early to show it I think. If they show it this year, and it comes out holiday 2016, it will be at 3 E3s and old news by the time its E3 2016.

Ocarina - 1998

Majora's Mask - 2000

Wind Waker - 2002/2003

Twilight Princess - 2006

Skyward Sword - 2011

Only one console game of the last five has taken five years, and that was only because it was introducing a brand new control system. Besides, I believe Aonuma said that five years between games is too long and that they are taking measures to speed up the development cycle, but I can't find that specifc quote in any interviews based on just searching by headlines.

It didnt take that long because of the motion controls. Control scheme is not even like 1 percent of development I reckon. And they really should've left it out. Besides, WiiU games take longer to come out, look at all the delayed Nintendo games and the software droughts.
