That's not my opinion. Laura Dale has already leaked it is going to come SEVERAL months after launch, and basically holding the Wii U version until the Switch one is released.

Since when does several mean November? 

Since several is a lot and not just 2 as you are hoping.

Let me get the definition for you: 

"more than two but not many."

As I said Zelda will be released when Nintendo see's it fit, there is no doctrine that the franchise must release in holiday. If it does release holiday 2017, it means they've got the summer covered.

Do you want to bet that if this leak is real, Zelda will be the holyday title?

No, I never said Zelda will not be a Holiday title. You said Switch will have a massive drought because Zelda is looking like a holiday title, I asked why, you said Zelda always launches during the holiday, I said false and that its release will depend on what else Nintendo have available for the respective seasons (launch/summer/fall/holiday).

Lol. Zelda has been released on holidays the past 13 years, outside of Hyrule Warriors. Even SS was held until holiday in 2011.

 

But it is ok if you want to believe this company cares for their fans even when the leak has already prove the Wii U version is in held until the Switch version os released. Just like 10 years ago with TP.

No, I believe Nintendo care for their own success and so will judge accordingly. If the game was finished instead of Mario, it would be a launch title. Their thinking more strategic than Zelda= Holiday. If Zelda goes gold in April and their other Switch titles like Pikmin 4 and Luigi's mansion are still months away from being finished and looking like they won't go gold til August/September, do I think that they will force Zelda into the holiday season and suffer a drought in the meantime? No.

 

Where was said that the Wii U version is being held back? This was my presumption but the current reports suggest otherwise as neither version of the game is localised or began thorough testing.

Laura Dale already leaked that the Wii U version may not hit the intended launch until the Switch version release, even if it is several months after launch.

Don't want to crash the party but I think I should mention one more time that this leak you all speak of is flawed. Testing and localisaton don't interfere with each other. So there is no reason for a delay, at least not because of this explanation. January 12th, folks. Everything will be fine.

Yes, but that is us assuming Nintendo don't operate in bizzare ways. I wouldn't put it past them. Ultimately I trust Eurogamer. Maybe the reason Emily gave was slightly off.

What we can say for certain is that rumours are nonsense until confirmation. Let's just wait and see. I don't believe a single word that girl tweets.
