Time, yes. 3-4 years for example would have been acceptable. 5 years though is just too long in my opinion when we consider that other devs have managed to craft very high quality AAA games in less time.

Most of nowdays AAA titles have a 3/4 year development unless they are repetitve games with ENORMOUS budgets such as FIFA or CoD so I don't see where's the problem with waiting 4/5 years for the next Zelda. Also considering the time it took to make Zelda U, for 2 platforms (Wii U and NX) on a totally new engine, beeing the first HD project for the team aswell as their first open world game I think it's a given that they took so much to develop Zelda U. Also Nintendo might very well decide to throw at us another MM re-using the Zelda U engine to make a NX exclusive Zelda game in no time (probably they could do it even in two years...)

The problem is the development. The problem is that they delayed (most likely) for an NX version despite having the game already to be released. The problem is that accepting 5 years now will be like accepting 7-8 years in a future. The problem is that Aonuma doesnt know what to do anymore with the franchise. The problem is that they change a lot of things during development that prolongue the dev cycle because they dont have a clear idea of what to do.
