Why do Zelda Console games take 5 years to develop.... ?

That doesn't strike me as a particularly apt comparison. In terms of sheer scale, these games are very different animals. And Zelda dungeons are, with very few exceptions, not exactly complex, or even particularly deep; they aren't bad, but they're pretty simple overall.

its not only world size.

All the things you can do in zelda . Example Skyward sword:

Flying, swimming, diving, diging unter the earth, driving boat, driving minekart and much more.Thats compareable to an gta (where you can fly, swim, etc).Annual games in general doesnt have this freedom.

Not even close. I've played quite a bit of Skyward Sword, and the breadth and depths of mechanics is paltry.
