| Skullwaker said: If the wait makes it a better game, then so be it. It's taking about as long as TP and SS. Wind Waker -> Twilight Princess (4 years) Twilight Princess -> Skyward Sword (5 years) This will just be another 5 year development cycle (assuming they started in 2011), and it's the first HD one, so it makes sense. |
Twilight Princess was probably only 4 years due to it being delayed for the Wii. Its initial target was 2005 (3 years) and Nintendo didn't announce its delay til quite late, so it probably wasn't a developement problem they were having.
Skyward Sword didn't start development until 2008. So its actually 3-4 years cycle.
I think Nintendo should develop a second Zelda team. Ocraina of time, Majora's Mask and WindWaker all arrived within 5 years. Now we're waiting 5 years just to get one new console entry. Also it'd mean NX won't get its actual ground up Zelda game til 2021
