Zelda U is more likely to have shat or turd in the title than shard. That's a fake leak.

I'm inclined to agree. The title just sounds...wrong. Although, like Pavolink wrote, there have been some weird Zelda titles. 

Help me out here. "Shard" is a weird word now? A shard of glass or the like sounds completely normal to me. What sounds wrong is the lack of plural, it should be "Shards of Nightmare".

Shard isn't that weird in and of itself when used like you said, in its true meaning as a small piece of broken glass.  It sounds campy when used as a collectable in a fantasy story.  Not unlike crystals.  Every cheap fantasy story or fan fiction seems to involve collecting magical crystals or shards of something.  Zelda tends to be more original and less campy.  Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Phantom Hourglass, Twilight Princess... those are excellent and rather unique names.  The worst is probably Skyward Sword, but it's not too bad.
