When I hear "overhyped" I think "the game that will get way more hype than it deserves". But I'm seeing a lot of answers that make it just seem like "the game that will get the most hype." I couldn't tell you either way, but I don't think Zelda fits into either of those categories as a lot of people seem to think. If Zelda was at the top of such a list of hyped games the Wii U wouldn't have a problem.

I think the only way to really quantify hype critically is through the expected metascore of a game before launch. For example, the gaming media is hyping Evolve to the point it feels like it's going to be a GOTY candidate and get at least 90+ metascore. Anything in the low 80s or lower would probably mean the game was overhyped.
