Also for people that saying we didn't see any image from December, it's similar situation with Twilight Princes.
In August 2005 we had some Twilight Princes pictures and next pictures we got at E3 in June 2006. |
The problem with this comparision is that at this time we had from TP 3 trailers, a logo, a name and demos, while from the new one we have a 40 seconds teaser and a couple of minutes from off-screen footage that doesn't look as good as the teaser.

That make me think they delayed TP for whole year was because of Wii releasing, but with Zelda U we still didnt see any logo, name or more trailers, so it seems that delay was really because more development time.
Also I think that of-screen cannot be compared with E3 teaser, and I think even if it was of-screen looks great.

It was delayed a full year only because the Wii version. Aonuma admitted at GDC 2007:
"However, if we put Twilight Princess on the Revolution, we ran the risk of those looking forward to playing it on the GameCube. For this reason, we knew that we had to release it for the GameCube as well. But doing so meant developing two versions, a GameCube version and Revolution version, and we knew that it was impossible to create both before the 2005 release as promised. Miyamoto negotiated with the higher-ups, and in the end, while it would disappoint those users who were looking forward to the 2005 release, if we really were able to create a 120% Zelda game that could be played both on the GameCube and on the Revolution, then even if we did release at the time of the launch of the Revolution in 2006, we could make even those users happy. This was Iwata’s response and the decision to create Twilight Princess for both the Revolution and the GameCube."

And this time it's exactly the same. At least it's not as cruel as with TP.
