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

But they themselves said the NX was delayed from late 2016 to early 2017 because they wanted to make sure it had good enough software in it's launch window. If Zelda wasn't going to be ready until around then, that is probably why they delayed it. Zelda is huge, and not just for sales. It's a word of mouth kind of game and it makes the press and critics give it a lot more attention than they would have if they only had something niche like Pikman 4 or Diddy Kong Racing 2 or something.

They never said they delayed NX. They need more time to prepare NX games, but that doesn't mean they needed more time specifically for Zelda, like I wrote, I am certain that only reason why Zelda is delayed from 2016 is NX launch, I am pretty sure Zelda si almost finished and they just polishing it now and waiting for NX release.

I do believe that they said they initially were projecting to launch in late 2016, but decided to wait until March 2017. I suppose, since it wasn't public knowledge at the time that they were planning on launching in late 2016, that one could argue it wasn't delayed, but it was internally, which is all that matters.
