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

So development of last two Zelda games was around 4 years, so having 5 years for first HD and most biggest and ambitious Zelda game ever dont look like big difference. I expect next new Zelda after Zelda U around 2020.
