No. Zelda is not going to change the fact that Wii U is going to finish at a mediocre 15-17 million units and be the worst selling Nintendo console.

The only thing changing that is a new Wii U controller that gives people orgasms. Price cuts, Zelda, no. I know the denial of how bad a failure the Wii U is really runs deep among some people, but it's time to accept that that system is not bouncing back. It's over. Done. Finished. 

People will see NX announced/shown and that will cause whatever remaining Wii U sales (and 3DS if it's a unified platform) to crater. 

It isn't the fact of Wii U finding a second breath, it's giving Nintendo enough time to release a decent next system that doesn't put them in the same situation as the Wii U. 

They already had enough time for next hardware, we didn't see announcement of new big budget 3DS/Wii U game 1-2 years. In last year-two we got announcement only for smaller games, spin offs, sports or games that doesn't require big budget and long development time (Pikmin 4). You can bet that new Metroid is in develop for NX, new 3D Mario game too, probably new Mario Kart...basically all Nintendo teams that already released WiiU/3DS games are currently making game for NX (of course expect teams that are working on Wii U games that yet need to come like Star Fox Zero, Zelda U, Mario & Sonic at the Rio, Pikmin 4..).
