No. Outside of Ocarina of Time and Skyward Sword, the other games were ready in a more reasonable cycle (2-3 years).

 

That's not quite true, there are some games where the time between releases are quite long, at last 4 years, that is if we don't count spin offs, handhelds, or majora's mask, haha.

The Legend of Zelda - 1986

Zelda II - 1987 (1 year)

A Link to the Past - 1991 (5 years) (it was released at the end of the year while Zelda II at the beggining)

Ocarina of Time - 1998 (7 years) Two expansions were developed too: Zelda Ura and Zelda Gaiden

Majora's Mask - 2000 (2 years)

The Wind Waker - 2002 (2 years)

Twilight Princess - 2006 (4 years) This game was ready in 2005, and with development problems, so it was ready in 3 years.

Skyward Sword - 2011 (5 years) Monolith needed to come and help to develop it. Lanayru Area is Monolith's work.

Zelda HD - supposed to come this year (5 years) Some rumors or hints point that Monolith is again helping it.
