It was one of the reasons given. Porting it to the Wii is the reason why the game was delayed until November and December of 2006. But the doesn't change the fact that the game was still being altered and refined in late 2005.

Indeed they were, they were refining it with Wii Controller gesture controls and changing the hand which Link was carrying his sword in ;)

If you saw all the screenshots and videos I saw during that game's development, you would knopw that between 2005 and 2006, A LOT was changed. Entire bosses and dungeons disappear. Enemies are changed. A lot of areas are altered. Even the game itself goes through a change in art direction. So it was getting delayed regardless. 

Anyway, this whole theory of Zelda U going through the same changes has to rely on a few things. First, NX would have to be a Wii U successor that's powerful enough to play Wii U games. Second, the NX would have to be out by the end of 2016 since that's when Zelda is going to arrive. I don't think it is. If NX is more of a 3DS successor, then I could see a late 2016 release date being possibly since the 3DS would be almost 6 years old by that point, although the question of it being able to play Zelda U comes into question. However, if NX is more of a Wii U successor, I don't see it being released before the end of 2017 and there's no way Nintendo is going to push back Zelda that far. In that time, they could release Zelda U and start work on a new Zelda that could possibly be out by the end of 2018.
