What was the budget for the new Zelda they have not completed yet?

We'll never know but they have said that this Zelda is the most they have spent on any game.

They never said that,  some supposed rumor - obviously now false - said that. Since we don't know their budgets we can't really get into that. In terms of scope of the game and effort, no, of course not. Zelda is their benchmark series. It's like asking if Chevy will make a car faster than the Corvette. Close to Zelda? Sure. The next 3D Mario or maybe Retro or Monolith games, though Xenoblade releasing next year probably means nothing by 2017.

Smash bandicoot > Jack and Daxter > Uncharted > The Last of US

Ratchet > Resistence 

Prince of Persia > Assassins Creed

Knights of the Old Republic > Mass Effect

Watchdogs

Titanfall

Division

The Order 1886

Gears of War 

People throwing everything budget wise at new IPs is not unheard of. When publishers trust in the devs, its a big opportunity lost if they only ever work on established IPs which tend to decline in popularity over time.
