From what? It was pretty much assumed a launch title and the same source which is telling us it might miss launch is saying testing will likely be 4-6months starting the new year which means April-June. 

Furthermore Zelda is not the only thing Nintendo can use to sell systems, so I will wait for their official games line before making any comparisons to the Wii U which launched with nothing more than 2D Mario and the promise of Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101 arriving later in the year lol

Zelda has been constantly released during holidays. Remasters not, but new games. Also the past may games are multiplayer online focused.

Majora's Mask launched first in Japan in April, Windwaker launched in Spring for NA/EU. There is no strict timetable Nintendo adhere to, they just do what they think makes sense for that year. BOTW has been the primary game marketed with Switch, its already had 2 major delays and Nintendo  have spoken numerous times about not repeating the Wii U's software issues. I don't see them intentionally pushing the game to the holiday and if they do, it means they've got plenty of games to fill up the summer/fall months.
