This site is hardly an accurate cross section of the gaming community. We have a very high concentration of Nintendo fans here. And yet you can still find plenty of apathy towards the game.
At this point Nintendo have left it too late to build up a massive wave of hype. No matter how much they stuff into the 5 months from June to November, they'll still be limited in their ability to build momentum. If they try to put a year and half worth of material in 5 months, they'll just oversaturate their audience and people will be numb to it. Nintendo have allowed apathy and negativity to congeal for so long that some of it will stick no matter how positive things are from E3 onwards.
Pacing is key to a well orchestrated hype campaign, its too late to fix that now.

Of Course, some people don't care about Nintendo consoles or Zelda at all but that could be said for about any console or franchise.
I am pretty sure moment Nintendo release full trailer with name at E3 you will see huge hype about game, and it's not really hard to maintain that hype and momentum or even build bigger in 5 months before release of game.
Point is that you dont need 2 years to make hype and momentum, Fallout 4 was reviled and launched in just 5 months.

Fallout 4's hype train could've been handled better, and they never had to work against the weight of a year and a half of accumulated negativity and disenchantment like Zelda U will.
Zelda U can never attain a hype wave like UC4 now, it's too late for that, they missed their chance.
