Do you want to see more of the game? Are you wondering what it looks like and how it will play? Has the year of only 13 seconds footage made you forget about the game or do you desperately wish to see more of it?
There you go.

Nintendo knows how to keep our interest with this one. They've shown us juuust enough to assure us that it's developement is going fine and is steadily on the way, while keeping the audience craving more. That's how you keep interest high, that's how you create hype for a game.

As a counter example, take Ubisofts: Tom Clancy's The Division (on a side note, that was just the stupidest title to have to write just now -___-). They've showed off this game so much already that I was literally bored of seeing it at E3. Especially since they didn't show anything particularily new about it.

Too much exposure to a game before release fatigues the audience and kills the excitement. There is a curve you have to get right, and it's usually a gorgeous early trailer, followed by information tidbits and a loong slow burn of showing just enough to assure people that developement is going well, until about half a year before release, when you come out with more infos, show gameplay, tell people what the meat of the game will be and start up marketing for real.

If you ask me, the next time you're going to see ZeldaU in a big way is probably E3 2016 with gameplay footage, followed up by a holyday 2016 release.

And we don't have a gorgeous early trailer?

Edit: And at this point we knew a lot more from TP, OoT, MM, TWW and SS and as far as I know nobody complained about it, in fact it help to build hype.
