Still 2 and exceptions. SS was made from the ground for the wii, an overclocked gamecube. WW and TP too 3 years or less to develop and SS was no different, but an EXCEPTION happened, causing dev time to increase to 5 years. Now Zelda U is the first HD Zelda and has a huge open world. Next Zelda will take at least 1 and a half year less than Zelda U to develop.

Again, 5 years in the norm for the last 9 years and 2 gens.

The dev times for TP/WW are irrelevant when discussing future projects because game development back then was totally different to now.

TP and WW were developed for gamecube hardware, same as SS. So how can you deny SS taking 5 years was an exception? If you want to talk about now, Zelda U probably took one extra year minimum just because it was the first HD Zelda. How can you still call 5 years the norm when it's clearly an exception?
