2. Appropriate HD resolution and frame rates

If they find a way to make the grass look as good as the gif above then I can accept 720p and the standard 30 fps for 3D Zelda games. 

I wouldn't worry about resolution; Nintendo have never released a Wii U title that runs in sub-HD. Worst case scenario we are looking at 720p with no AA, a la Mario Kart 8 or Splatoon. 720p with post-process AA, a la 3D World/Captain Toad/Xenoblade X, is a strong possibility.

I do confess though, now that it's likely going to be a cross-gen title, I am concerned about how well the Wii U version will look and run. Some games that were cross-gen between PS4/X1 and PS3/360 looked and ran quite badly on the latter.

I wouldn't worry at all. Nintendo have 2 platforms, not 5 like most third party devs. Its 1st party so of course quality on the Wii U version matters more to them then 360/PS3 version of games third parties are working on. The WIi U version has likely been the primary platform for 3 years and will still offer them  a fair portion of the games sales. This isn't a  scenario where the NX version will sell 10x more then the Wii U one like we've seen with some cross gen games. Lastly this is Nintendo we're talking about and this is their flagship title; they won't take shortcuts on any platform. There is no precedent of them being lazy when it comes to Zelda.

I Imagine that just like Tomb Raider, people will be surprised by just how good the "last gen" version looks.
