I hope you are not refering to zelda. The ONE game that will be supporting the wii u during 2017 (third party and first party). Speaking of 2017, the game was supposed to come out in 2015. Zelda shouldn't have even been shown at this E3, we should be playing it now as we speak. But of course the game was delayed (like many many other wii u games) because of development struggles presented by the hardware. Other big delays include but are not limited to: starfox zero/gaurd, pikmin 3, wonderful 101, watchdogs, rayman, donkey kong country tropical freeze and wii sports hd. Let's not forget about all of the cancelled third party games due to inferior tech such as all of EA, Bethesda, and Slightly Mad Studios. 

Did zelda look fun? yeah. Did it look graphically impressive? HAHAHAHA. The tech is the bottleneck. Had nintendo worked on zelda with the ps4's hardware, it would be out now looking better than any other game this gen. Instead we're settling for delays and subpar graphics because of the wii u's relatively poor GPU performance. 

I have every right to complain about the wii u's hardware after it's performance this gen.

It seemed to impress digital foundry with its visuals, take home IGN's best of E3, and was by far the most talked about game after E3. 

I'm pretty sure digital foundry was impressed with what Nintendo managed to do on the wii u's hardware. Big difference from being technically impressed over other next gen games (they even mentioned the frame drops into the low 20's).

Zelda got best of E3 from one source. That really doesn't mean much. Remember when Titanfall got over 60 E3 awards when it was shown. Doesn't mean I can now say Titanfall is now the best game in the world.

I love how people quote that ONE source to say zelda was the most talked about game. According to another source, God of War was the most watched video (Even with zelda being the ONLY wii u game shown). Does that mean it was best of show? NO. These surveys aren't meant to rank games. Just to show interest. 

I want you to take a step back and notice how your entire argument hinges on ONE game with a massive budget that was delayed by TWO years. Better yet, you are using Zelda's popularity to somehow prove that the wii u's hardware hasn't been a challenge for other developers (There's no correlation there). As if that somehow invalidates all third party from leaving because of the horrendous hardware. With better hardware, not only would we have gotten better looking games, we probably wouldn't have had these GIANT droughts since there would be less delays.
