Twilight Princess had shown two substantial trailers with actual gameplay, not an uneventful off-screen gameplay sample and two short cutscene teasers.

The harsh truth of the matter is that Nintendo is not mainstream any more. Hardcore fans like you and me, we're the minority. Mainstream gamers in 2015 have to be regularly bombarded with something to get excited for it. 

Again, look at how Naughty Dog/Sony are hyping Uncharted 4. That's how you do it in 2015.

Nope TP had less gameplay, most of it was from cutscenes. Don't seem to understand the mainstream do you, they follow the names of franchises not the media shown, only time they get bombarded is when the game is a new IP again Fallout 4 highlights this as well as showing you straight up that Uncharted's way of doing it is no longer required, look at the recent Tomb Raider despite all the media it was quite a luke warm release it had and it had a similar approach to what Uncharted had.

Only 1 of the 3 clips of Zelda U has shown actual gameplay, and pretty much nothing happens in it. All 3 show the same grass field area.

Twilight Princess had shown gameplay in a variety of locations against a variety of enemies intermixed with its cutscenes. We'd seen bosses, story beats, dungeons, characters.

The cold hard truth is, the mainstream is not hyped for Zelda U. Only us hardcore Nintendo loyalists are. The lack of impactful new material means it has faded from the public consciousness.
