Nah.

I think they were expecting tantalus to finish twilight princess quickly, maybe end of 2014 to early 2015 similar to the turn around of Wind waker HD and still have Zelda Wii U for holiday 2015.

I suspect - going by the track record of tantalus (that is to say they are mix big of shit and decent), plus this being is their biggest project to date, plus Australia being a poor talent pool for the gaming industry and the high demands of Nintendo, that it took the team longer than expected to churn out twilight princess HD.

It just so happens that Zelda Wii U was delayed as well.

I don't think there is a conspiracy theory or Nintendo intentionally lying

The thing your wrong about though is Australia being a poor talent pool , you only have to go back through gaming history to developers like beam software , Melbourne house  ,Irrational, Pandemic and too many more to mention, it was this wealth of talent that had EA and the other big players clamouring to open studios there.

Sure that hey day has past, but that has happened pretty much globally since the gfc , you just have to look at the UK and all the  studios that no longer exist

there , it just means the work has dried up especially for studios not the talent.
