Most people expected we would hear about it at E3 '14.
Here's hoping for a fall 2015 release.

overreacting? so expressing something that is as clear as day is now overreacting. very mature response. you tell me, has nintendo's marketing strategy been any good? there will always be hype for a franchise within its fanbase, but outside that fanbase you need to market the game to get other gamers excited about it, and nintendo's efforts in that regared has been utter shit lately. |
You are so far away from reality. Damn. So because he said more Zelda U information in 2014 means no marketing? "As clear as day" LOL.....you should hear yourself sometimes...talking about stuff like you know everything all the time am I right? And it was clear they would show something about Zelda at E3. And don't act like E3 is the key for a successful game, cause it isn't anymore.
I would love either an HD remake of the first or another top down but seriously massive scale Zelda, maybe even other planets/worlds, similar to light dark but not limited to just 2 worlds.
I guess a holiday 2015 release is all but confirmed. Just you wait. I'm extremely confident of that.

If you are a gamer, you will hear about any game announcement throughout the year, E3 is no longer this "magical" place is used to be.
If you want to surprise people, you can do it whatever the hell you want. Post on Facebook or Twitter with a link to a video of a new game on a random date, with a Nintendo Direct, etc. It has the exact same effect as announcing the game during E3.
You are mentioning people outside of a fanbase, but guess what? those Sony and MS fans also check gaming news, just a quick look at IGN and you will see "Nintendo announces new Zelda Wii U [Trailer]",just to give an example; that has the same effect as showing the game at E3.
But if you are talking people who don't check gaming news, then E3 covers you, what we knew about months in advance, for them, it will be a surprise. But at any rate, what Soriku said is true, a surprise means nothing in terms of sales, unless you release the game the same day or a day after the announcement.

Hopefully they get a bunch of their big guns and return to E3 glory like the old days. They need to come out swinging like it's the n64 era.
Here's my top 10 wishlist for the next Zelda...
1: No hand-holding
2: No hand-holding
3: No stupid "tutorials" at the beginning that take hours to get through (see 1 and 2).
4: No annoying companion constantly yelling at you and stopping you dead in your tracks to tell you shit you already know (Navi, Fi)
5: No hand-holding
6: Stop reusing and remaking the same ideas from LTTP/TOOT (light/dark world). This shit's getting old.
7: No hand-holding
8: No mandatory motion controls (I highly doubt this one'll happen).
9: Overworld and dungeons that can be explored in almost any order.
10: Did I mention no hand-holding?

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
