How likely is in your opinion a Zelda U port on the next Nintendo home console ?

But it would be a port, which would obviously not even showcase the NX's power. 

NSMBU helped push Wii U sales the first year of the Wii U's life, and it's first year sales were actually pretty good. Add to it the fact that NSMBU and NSLuigiU combined far outsold any LoZ and port (or remake) with the exception of Ocarina Of Time (best selling of the franchise again since the 3ds entry) it should paint a pretty clear picture. It we are going by financial success, LoZ is not the best route they could take (looking at numbers).

You cant compare launch of NSMBU port game that is basically NSMB HD from Wii that will be old 4 year next year, and launch of completely new game that will be first HD, real open and most ambitious Zelda to date. NSMBU port probably wouldn't move any consoles, but Zelda in this case would move tons a consoles.

Also NSMBU was terrible Wii U launch title, it was basically NSMB HD for Wii, I am pretty sure that only small number of people buy console for that game alone.

I would hope only a small number of people would buy any console for one game alone.
