Not only just first HD true open game with huge world (you never mentione that world is huge), but also in how many Zelda projects Zelda team was involved this gen while they were working on Zelda U, too many.

Well we cant be sure about that, maybe they delayed Zelda U because of NX port, but certainly even if that is main reason why is delayed, they will certanly use that time to implemente some new ideas and make even better game, than it would be if it was released this year.

And again, becuse next Zelda will not be their first HD, true open game with huge world, and becuse of new unifed platform, they could make new NX Zelda for around 3-4 years, but if they pull again MM, for 2-3 years. So in worst case I expect to see Zelda NX in 2020.

Implementing new ideas won't necessarily make it a better game though. For all we know, it might have turned out better if they'd stuck to the original plan, since we don't know what these new ideas he wanted to pursue were.

Well its not only about new ideas, they will certainly improve and polish whole game while in same time they implanting those new ideas. For instance Zelda U world itself will have more staffs, NPCs and quests than it would have if it was released this year.

One of those ideas probably crossed their mind when they worked on MM 3DS, It's very interesting that delay was announced after MM 3D launch, around same time when delay was announced we had info that Mask Salesman will return in new Zelda game. But personally I would love seasons mechanics, but Mask mechanics are always interesting.

Thats one of reasons why I think Zelda U will be great, becuse while Zelda team worked on Zelda U, they were involed in OoT 3D, WW HD, ALBW, MM 3D and TP HD devolpment and they probably taked some of the best things from those games and implated in same way in Zelda U, with certanly some completly new staffs and mehanics. I am pretty sure that Aonuma dont calls Zelda U "Ultimate Zelda experience" with out any reasons.
