I'm surprised development is taking so long, considering they appear to be using the first game as a base. I think this delay actually makes the gap longer than between skyward sword and BOTW.

That may be what they say, but that isn't necessarily what is happening. Botw 2 uses the same engine as 1, uses the same map (with additions). Absolutely no way it takes that long to make, in my book.

Nintendo really likes to focus on strategically releasing their big hitters. Launching during the holiday of a year when Switch devices are already going to sell out didn't make much sense. Spring is usually the dead period for console hardware sales, so this will really push their selling capabilities during next Spring. They already have a new Pokemon generation launching this holiday. Spring needs Zelda.

It all depends on the ambitions of the game.
