-TP HD is HD Remaster, not port. Zelda U probably won't be Remaster, it will be port. You also forget that WW HD development last only 6 months by Nintendo, TP HD was done by Tantalus much smaller team than Zelda team of Nintendo.

-I dont see like problem if NX Zelda being port on NX succor, nowadays every second games gets ported or remastered, especially because successor of NX will have same architecture and probably also unified platform, also from same reason I dont think next Zelda will took 5 years of devolpment.

-This dont make any sense. You forgetting that Wii U even with great lineup of games is selling terrible, but this year will sell much worse than previous. Ofcourse that people will buy new Nintendo platform instead dead platform, you basically saying that after PS4 launch most of people buying PS3 in order to play Last Of US instead PS4 but we all know that isnt true.

 

Also poll doesn't make much sense, because Zelda U NX port really wants only people who dont have Wii U, most of Wii U owners are fine with Zelda U port for NX while game still coming to Wii U.

Gamecube - Wii U is both PowerPC architecture.

Wii U - NX will probl be PowerPC to X86 architecture.

So porting wont be easy, just because it might be just a straight port. As comparison: naughty dog said porting TLOU to Ps4 was "hell".

BTW: I doubt nintendo will do a straight port. If they port the game to NX, they wanna show NX´s Power. If its just as good as wii u that wouldnt be nintendo style. They NEVER released two similar  games on 2 home consoles. The only reason they ported TP to Wii was because of the new controls.

Porting will be easy and fast despite different architecture, 3rd parties were doing ports of PS3/Xbox 360 game to Wii U for 6 months.

Again, TLOU for PS4 was Remaster (from 720p/30fps to 1080p/60fps), not simple port, and it was done buy small team of Naughty Dog for one year.

I dont think Nintendo will invest too much time of resources in NX version of Zelda U game, they will probably make straith port with some unique staffs for NX version, something similar like they done with Wii TP version in comparison with GC. NX port of Zelda U cant be show case of NX power because game is build from ground for Wii U power, some new title we be showcase of NX power, probably new 3D Mario that will be probably be launch title.

Controls are not only reason why TV was released for Wii too, same like Wii U situation, GC as at end of life and TP was huge game, so they ported game to Wii and make it launch game, and that was huge success, it was great launch title and TP Wii become best selling Zelda game, Nintendo want similar effect with Zelda U.
