    As I said in the video, we would like to take this time so we can bring you a very special experience, by making the ultimate Zelda game. Since we’d like to focus on developing the game we’ve decided to not show the game at this year’s E3. Thank you for your continued support, and I hope you’ll look forward to the game!

    Now look Nintendo, many people were hyped to get a WiiU for Zelda U. Now you just threw away that reason. Enjoy your abismal WiiU sales this year again as you have "Nothing" to release as your big November game to December. I'm sure Star Fox will release beforehand, but really Nintendo. And you also choose not to show ZeldaU at this E3. #WhosStillOnTheHypeTrain

    It's great to hear that the development team wants to continue to work on making it the best it can be. It's just too bad this game will now most likely be releasing towards the end of the Wii U's cycle before the NX comes around. I do hope that since this game isn't going to be appearing at E3, we'll at least see some progress on it in a Nintendo Direct so that we won't completely forget about it

The “we just want to focus on making a great game” reasoning just seems more like an excuse, or worse, a way to not admit that the dev team had to scrap everything and start from scratch.
