1. We might not play the game as it was originally planned. We might not be lost in enormus forests or battling against epic octopus machines. Game is in reestructuration. Did you enjoyed playing on those beautiful forest in Twilight Princess? No! You just walked in long barren corridors. Do you remember that epic fight with the spider? No. Let's delay that until Spirit Tracks and put as a miniboss in the tunnels.

2. Nintendo doesn't have anything to celebrate the Zelda 30th Anniversary. With all those new dates announced for the Symphony of the Goddessess and this delay (expecting the game is coming next year), it's clear that this game is their celebration. Let's start the celebration with this holy delay!

3. The game is right now is just TBA. No date. Just that 2015 release date is not their highest priority. Could it be next year? Spring? Autumn? Holiday? 2016? No one knows, especially when we consider the game will not be even at the E3.

4. Nintendo prefered to focus on Ocarina of Time 3D, Majora's Mask 3D (4 years for a worse version!) The Wind Waker HD and A Link Between Worlds! Do they believe we will enjoy more those games rather than a new Zelda?

5. They are clearly struggling with HD development. This is the 4784787 delay in the Wii U. How many more? Star Fox? Mario Maker?

6. If they are struggling with the Wii U, what can we expect of the next console?

The sadder part is that my bold prediction may be truth. If this game is delayed to the NX or next consoles, this will be the first Nintendo console without an exclusive Zelda game. But hey! At least we can ask Twilight Princess HD, right?

Hyperbolic yes. Realistic? Also.

Jezus i dont think i can hold it in anymore, i really really feel bad for some Nintendo fans now :-/

Its the end of the world :0

1) Well.. They delayed it cause they got some new ideas and stuff so I doubt the game itself will go down in quality and expectations

2) Isn't that in 2016... It kinda makes sense if it got delayed to 2016 when its Zelda's anniversary...

3) Probably in 2016 cause 30th anniversary makes too much sense

4) That took like what? 10 people?

6) Master the HD with the wiiU, get an unified OS, speed up development time

it will not be on the NX.

thats all i have to say for now.

Maybe.

You are being too childish, sorry.

One game delayed =/= 3º World War

Pretty sure I'm done with Nintendo and consoles in general now. I'm going back to PC full time. I'll get Zelda when it eventually comes out, but it's the lack of Metroid that sucks the most tbh.

There is a chance that it will go multiplat like Twilight Princess, though I doubt it..

I think the main reason why they didn't say 2016 is because there may be a small chance it can still hit a 2015 release..

But your predictions are possible, though I hope they will always remain as a prediction..

I'm not angry though because I was expecting this to happen. Unless it isn't released for the Wii U ever, then I would be angry.

My thoughts.

This isn't an NX title. They are just wanting to make it the best game it can be on the Wii U and they've come up with new concepts for the game, and rather than scrapping those ideas and making it a worse game as a result, they're delaying it so they can fully realize the game's potential. And next year is the 30th anniversary, so I highly doubt it will be delayed after that.

1.- They changed the art style in Skyward Sword. That alone changes the vision. They cut forests, bosses and missions in Twilight Princess.

2and3.- That's what I said. Asuming they delay is just for only year, they can be doing only for that. That's lame here and in Jupiter.

4.- How do you know that? And asuming you are right, that's 10 people's work for 4 years.

6.- All those remakes were made by 10 people and the rest of the staff can do an HD game? What will you expect next gen when they have to develop prettier graphics?
