They had delays that dealt with brand new game engines, completely fresh starts and new hardware (Wii Motion + for Skyward Sword, Switch for BotW).  None of those are applicable here.

No way Motion Plus should've necessitated a 5 year cycle, especially when the were reusing the engine and likely much of the code from Twilight Princess, and only having to build assets of Wii quality. They're just very slow at making games.

Engine doesn't matter, they were reusing OOT engine. SS took extra time because it was already 3 close to finished when they decided to implement motion +. This required reworking a good chunk of the game.
