I think I know what's going on with Zelda U/NX

I personally don't think they ever had any intention of releasing it a ways back. What they showed a couple years ago was pretty but, in my mind, perfectly reflected a game that was about two to three years from release.

It would make sense that the game would seem somewhat empty at that time, as anyone who has played an alpha or even early beta version of a game (and with Steam that's a pretty common experience now) will tell that really fleshing out the world with content happens fairly late in the process.

Even if those rumors didn't exist, I believed the same about the game following the footage they showed. That was a world with great potential that needed time to develop, and I'm glad they've had that time.

Then this makes me mad if the only thing they can do since Dec 2011 o Jun 2014 is just that 15 seconds teaser.

I think it's fair to say the development of this game has been difficult for them, but that's not exactly unusual for an open world game. This is really their first entry into the large, 3d open world genre that, these days, takes a good half decade to develop.

Still waiting on the next Elder Scrolls, for instance... Skyrim came out in 2011.
