Another POV ... if NX is more powerful than the Wii U ... maybe Aonuma looked and that and concluded that an NX Zelda would allow him to achieve his vision better than a Wii U version would?

Lets be honest, the scale of the game they've described, probably is pushing the Wii U to its very limits ... maybe even beyond.

An NX platform that has 2-3x the usable RAM for starters could make a huge difference in an open world game (and that's just factoring in the RAM difference).

Obviously I think business interests also are key here, but this could also be an issue where Aonuma looked at Zelda on NX versus Wii U and given the possibility of the game selling better, and being more in line with his vision, and also helping Nintendo more (NX launch is simply more important for the company than how the Wii U finishes) ... well y'know.
