More like many people were wondering if Zelda wasn't going to be delayed anyway, and now looking at their potential 2015 roster, they have a pretty full potential lineup even without Zelda. It's open to speculation. It's not like they absolutely *need* the game for next year now.
I don't even think Zelda U really plays that integral of a role in the Wii U's ultimate fate ... that will largely be decided before. If MK8, 3D World, NSMBU, and Smash U can't get the system to sell above GameCube levels, then really Zelda U isn't going to either.
Yes holidays generally mean bigger sales, but moving it into the launch window of a new Nintendo handheld launch would also likely buoy its net sales for 30-60% extra if not more.
It's a logical scenario, much like moving Twilight Princess to Wii did make a lot of sense, mind you Nintendo at that time had no idea the Wii was even going to be such a huge seller and there were a lot of people initially upset by that decision, but really in the long run it just made way more financial sense.
