I'm calling it now. 

Zelda U will release (like Twilight Princess) for two Nintendo platforms ... for Wii U and also a new Nintendo portable that's capable of handling ports from the Wii U at a reduced resolution (540p for example). 

So you'll be able to play it at home or on the road. Both the next Nintendo portable and Zelda U will launch in the second half of 2015. 

EAD will take lessons learned from Zelda: ALBW's development (specifically pacing/non-linear design) and incorporate that into Zelda U, much like Mario 3D World combines elements from 2D Mario and 3D/Galaxy games into a 3D Mario game. 

This will also let Nintendo gain at least an extra 1-2 million WW sales for the game which will help recoup development costs and maximize profit potential. Other (by 2015) older Wii U games will also be ported IMO like DKC: TF for portable play. 

I believe the next Mario from EAD Tokyo (Mario Galaxy 3?) could also follow the same release pattern ... for both Nintendo Next Gen Portable + Wii U release. 

LMAO what?

Note I wasn't on this board back then, but I was saying Zelda: Twilight Princess would also be repositioned as a Wii launch title and back in 2005 or so a lot of people were saying that was crazy. Look at how that panned out and in hindsight it was a smart business move too, Zelda: TP released only on the GameCube would've probably sold maybe 3-4 million WW tops. 

Oh stop it with the dumb predictions.

As i said in another similarly imaginative prediction, the worst case scenario is a cross system zelda like twilight princess, but that is also very unlikely. The Wii U wont be going out of the market until 5 years in. The next Zelda they make is the one that is likely to be cross system, if anything.

Re-read the OP. I didn't say it's not coming out for Wii U. 

I see. i edited my post. Jumped the gun but i still think its very unlikely.

sometimes your posts make a ton of sense, and other times they're ridiciolous. this time it's the latter

Note a lot of Nintendo fans in particular said Twlight Princess on Wii was a crazy idea and would never happen because Nintendo would never, ever release a Zelda for Wii unless it was made from the ground up for Wii, Zelda is a special snowflake, GameCube fans have loyally waited 2 years for this game, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 

Money (or more accurately profit potential) talks. Looking at in hindsight releasing TP only on the GameCube would've been a monumentally stupid move on Nintendo's part.

Not only could did TP launch with Wii but Nintendo didn't even release the GCN version day and date at launch, which had to be like a slap in the face to some GameCube owners ... people got over it, Nintendo sold probably 2x as many copies of the game as they would have otherwise. 

I really doubt the next portable will be released in 2015, unless they announce it this e3... while it's true the GBA had a 4 year lifespan, it was the only Nintendo handheld to die so young.
And there's no way a Wii U game could run on a handheld even it was ported, Aonuma said it was going to use the gamepad in unique ways : if the next Zelda somes to next handheld it means that they will have to make another DS + use all the other tech found in the gamepad.

Twilight Princess was ported to Wii because it would be stupid to let the most anticipated Zelda in years be released at the end of their worst selling home console's life, and not use it to add even more hype to what would be their best selling home console ever.

unless the WiiU somehow dies in 2015 (which is 99% not going to happen), maybe there would be a slight possibillity, but even then i think they would release it on their upcoming home console instead.
