Also, how is it unfair? People that have a WiiU will have their Zelda game, and people who want the NX will also have Zelda. Wouldn't it be more unfair to restrict it to one system?

 

In that case you'll get one Zelda game per two generations, 0.5 on Wii U and 0.5 on NX. Before that you got 1, 1.5 or even 2 LoZ games per any generation.

Making a Zelda game on the scale of TP or SS isn't as difficult as a giant open world Zelda. It takes time and efford, and they'll probably reuse a lot of ZeldaU's assets to make the next it's so complex/expensive... OoT and MM reused a lot of assets and engine, they were almost the same game. The only game I think it pushed the limits of its hardware is WindWaker, and it's a relatively simple open world compared to today's standards.

Also, I would love to have more 2D Zelda titles, ALBW was fantastic.

Add to that is being first HD Zelda game that also impacted on development time.

I also think there is a chance that Nintendo reuse a lot of Zelda's U assets and engine and to make new game in for much shorter time on NX, same like they done with MM.
