And having your resources split in not two (Wii U & NX versions of BotW) but three? That makes little sense.

And will having two Zelda games at launch, one of them a remake, really make the console more desirable?

Nintendo has outsourced all their recent remasters, they wouldn't be loosing any man power to a SKyward Sword HD and it doesn't have to be a launch alongside Breath of FIre, it could launch later in the year.

Although a SS Remaster doesn't sound like the most appealing thing at the moment, it would be kind of negligent to remaster all recent Zelda games except for SS, especially considering its not the best selling Zelda and could be a new experience for many. At this point a Zelda Collection is kind of needed, I wouldn't be surprised if that was a holiday 2017 title. 

Skyward Sword is a different remake than Twilight Princess (Wind Waker HD was made by Nintendo themselves if I'm not mistaken). The original game was designed around the Wiimote Plus, but the remake would have to use whatever controller the NX has, which would mean a complete redesign of the gameplay mechanics (remember that the game forced us to not only slash horizontally, but also vertically or in diagonal, something very hard to to with a regular controller unless you use the cameera/right stick to that task).

I doubt Nintendo will outsource the remake of Skyward Sword, or at least not without a small (but important) team supervising the project 24/7.
