Breath of the Wild is by far the most ambitious Nintendo title yet, and the new physics engine and sandbox systems will mean the game requires a huge amount of testing to get it up to Nintendo's usual polished standards.

The only bright side of all these delays to me is that Nintendo will have a ready-made engine to use towards the creation of games of a similar scope to BotW.  That alone should significantly lower the development times for those games compared to BotW.
