Two teams? Where did you get that information? Both console and handheld Zelda games are done by EAD Group No. 3. I'm sure the team is diveded whenever a handheld and console version of Zelda is in development at the same time, but if you look at the release dates, it supports the fact the team as a whole works on whatever needs to be worked on at the time. That being said, it would make sense for ALBW to start in 2011 because they were wrapping up development on Skyward Sword. In fact, here's a cited source from wikipedia regarding the development of Skyward Sword: 

 "In April 2008, game designer Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed the Zelda team to be "forming again to work on new games".[22] He later clarified at the E3 2008 trade show that the staff members had been working on a new installment in the series for the Wii.[23] The development of Skyward Sword started between the production cycles of the two The Legend of Zelda games for the Nintendo DS: it began after the completion of Phantom Hourglass and before the development of Spirit Tracks.[1] Director Hidemaro Fujibayashi and his team developed Skyward Sword and Spirit Tracks simultaneously until the latter was completed and all staff was transferred to work solely on the Wii game.[1] A report of Official Nintendo Magazine pointed out that the developers were still in the planning stages in November 2008, and that a first screening at E3 2009 was considered an optimistic prediction."

Well how about that. The team who developed Skyward Sword were previously working on the DS games. Development on Skyward Sword didn't even begin until late 2008, exactly three years before the game was released. So when you consider the facts, it has to be said that Zelda games, for the most part, have the development cycles of normal AAA games and that Aonuma's management of EAD Group No. 3 is really good. We get a new Zelda game every 2-3 years. We never have to wait too long for them and Nintendo doesn't have to rely on yearly releases like Activision and Ubisoft do with their games. 

Also, wether remakes affect development schedules or not is almost completely irrelevent since the Zelda Team had absolutely nothing to do with remakes outside of Eiji Aonuma's supervision with the exception of Wind Waker which was developed by the Zelda team.

That has been mentioned since ages ago. They released both The Wind Waker and A Link Between Worlds in the same year, just a couple of months apart, both developed by the same team? No. They have mentioned before that there are 2 teams, and sometimes they trade people, part of the staff of the hh team goes to the hc game and viceversa. In that way, they keep fresh the development and add new ideas.

But you originally claimed that there was a handheld team and console team and there isn't. As I pointed out, the teams are created depending on what needs to be worked on. The whole point of this argument that I'm making is it goes entirely against your claims that the development of the handheld games have no effect on the development of the console games and the long development times for the console games is all because of Aonuma's incompetence. You tried to say that under Aonuma's leadership, it takes many years for one handheld game to be finished and many years for a console game to get finished and It's been proven already that much of the team will often work on both console and handheld games and if you look at what comes out of that team as a whole, we get a new Zelda game every 2-3 years, meaning that these games actually have the development cycle of an average game. You also tried to blame the long development cycles on the focus of remakes even though the 3DS Zelda remakes have nothing to do with what the Zelda team works on.

My point still stands. Aonuma is doing a great job with the Zelda team and we'll probably see at least two more original Zelda games come from that team in 5 years or less.

As you can see, this proves my point. And in many ways. Skyward Sword development cycle is 5 years, not 3. A Link Between Worlds is 4, not 2. On top of that, this image also proves how the development cycle of past games are shorter than the new ones, which, once again, proves my point.

You realize that statement can easily be turned around, right?

and to really claim that GTA's artistic process is all done at the start is laughable. I don't like GTA at all, but I don't see how you can dissrespect the work that goes into them.

Don't give me that. I'm not going by team size or man hours. I'm going by when they started and when they finished. It even shows that I was right about the development times. Of course the newer games are going to require bigger teams. The facts still stand. Skyward Sword's development started in 2008 and stopped in 2011. A Link Between Worlds started in 2011 and ended in 2013. Besides, what does any of this do with explaining why Aonuma isn't fit to run the Zelda team?

1. Why does new games will requiere bigger developmente cycles if teams are bigger?

2.And the full cycle of Skyward Sword is 5 years. Even if development was just 3, pre-production was 2 and that counts also.

3. As already explained in many other threads, he doesn't know what to do with the franchise anymore. Zelda HD is based on Zelda NES (open world). This is most likely their own version adding some new features from previous games and some new ones like Hyrule Warriors. This game is not a new concept, like other games, from example The Wind Waker or Majora's Mask.

1. Because you're dealing with newer, more spohisticated technology and bigger games. That requires more man hours. It's a common issues the industry is having. All things considering, development times for the console games have been somewhat consistant.

2. I don't like to count pre-production times. Pre-production is done during the development of the previous games, meaning that they couldn't start working on the next game until the previous one is finished. In pre-production, a teams size, development cycle, and budget are being considered. Again, this is a normal thing in the industry and has nothing to do with Aonima's inability to get a game out at a decent time.

3. He's not creating an open world game because he's out of ideas. He specifically said he has always wanted to create an open world game like what was on the NES but the technology wasn't there that allowed him to do such a thing in a 3D environment. If anything Aonuma has ideas that are thought of years ahead of time but he has to pick the right game for those ideas to be utilized. With Zelda HD, his ideas for that game could not be done before.

1. Not all of the new games are bigger than the predecessors.

2. Zelda team was able to have a more consistent release schedule. The entire industry struggling doesn't excuse Zelda team for doing the same.

3. He specifically mentioned the open world and Zelda NES. If the NES was able to handled an open world there's no excuse for the subsequent hardware. Also, he doesn't have any idea ahead of time as his ideas are from other games or it comes during development, not before.

3.91 mil, so true a little more than I though (and a little less than you were saying) and true 11 months which is a little longer than a release title, but still earlier than any must have on the console. (that would come in Nov with 3D World). So the truth kind of lands in between. Still, even for a little less than 4 mil, 1.5 is pretty freaking good.
