Lol. Zelda has been released on holidays the past 13 years, outside of Hyrule Warriors. Even SS was held until holiday in 2011.

But it is ok if you want to believe this company cares for their fans even when the leak has already prove the Wii U version is in held until the Switch version os released. Just like 10 years ago with TP.

No, I believe Nintendo care for their own success and so will judge accordingly. If the game was finished instead of Mario, it would be a launch title. Their thinking more strategic than Zelda= Holiday. If Zelda goes gold in April and their other Switch titles like Pikmin 4 and Luigi's mansion are still months away from being finished and looking like they won't go gold til August/September, do I think that they will force Zelda into the holiday season and suffer a drought in the meantime? No.

 

Where was said that the Wii U version is being held back? This was my presumption but the current reports suggest otherwise as neither version of the game is localised or began thorough testing.

Laura Dale already leaked that the Wii U version may not hit the intended launch until the Switch version release, even if it is several months after launch.
