No, I do not believe the Wii U version will be cancelled or will even be a digital-only release. Nintendo has promised outright on many occasions that the Wii U would get a mainline Zelda starting with E3's as early as I believe 2012. 

Yeah but they also promised it would come out in 2015. Then in 2016...

Yeah, but Nintendo almost always delays their Zelda games because (right or wrong) they hold the belief that it's OK to delay a game to make it better.  That said, Nintendo home consoles have always had mainline Zelda releases and BotW has been getting insane hype since E3 2014.  It's simply a matter of PR for Nintendo to demonstrate to fans that they have kept their promises even though the Wii U has been a complete disaster.  For example, take a look at this video which was released in early 2013.  Nintendo has been actually surprisingly good during the Wii U's lifetime about delivering the games that they have promised (heck we even got games like Yarn Yoshi and Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem and everybody back in 2013 thought those games would be vaporware).

Just be patient, I really don't think that Nintendo is going to screw us that badly on this one.
