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!
03/27/2015 6:15 PM ·Spoilers
I'm okay with a likely end of 2015 release (Christmas. duh), but no E3? :< I must see more amazingness.
03/27/2015 6:15 PM ·Spoilers
It's okay Aonuma. Take your time to bring us an amazing game. S2
03/27/2015 6:16 PM ·Spoilers
Depressing, but fine......... Just maybe not TP it and have it for 2 consoles.
03/27/2015 6:17 PM ·Spoilers
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
03/27/2015 6:17 PM ·Spoilers
Sad it won't be at E3. Even a tiny bit of footage would be cool. As long as this doesn't delay as much as Twilight Princess did, I'm ok with them needing more time.
03/27/2015 6:17 PM ·Spoilers
NX = Maybe Nintendo should make the NX a smartphone 3ds & Wii U controller.
03/27/2015 6:17 PM ·Spoilers
I'm fine with this since it only means that the game will be better when it's finally released.
03/27/2015 6:18 PM ·Spoilers
With that said, I'm looking forward to Star Fox this year. Crossing my fingers for Metroid/Mother 3/F-Zero announcements too ;)
03/27/2015 6:18 PM ·Spoilers
Not surprised. 2015 sounded way too early since they just revealed gameplay footage just last year. I'm okay with waiting until 2016, but I was hoping to at least see another teaser at E3 this year.
03/27/2015 6:19 PM ·Spoilers
Im kinda sad but i understand. Its always bout the quality :) Thank you for sending us this message
03/27/2015 6:20 PM ·Spoilers
one.... two.... three.... Tears!!!! Everyone freak out!!!!! It's all good I rather have something to play leading up to NX instead of suffering a year drought.
03/27/2015 6:20 PM ·Spoilers
Thanks for telling us mr Aonuma! I wish you and the developers best of luck on Zelda wiiu and I can't wait to play it!
This comment contains spoilers.

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
03/27/2015 6:22 PM ·Spoilers
I'm cool with this. I've got plenty on the shelf to catch up on.
03/27/2015 6:27 PM ·Spoilers
I think the disappointment everyone feels in the delay will be rewarded when we actually get to play the game. That said, I wish you would show it at E3...come on, just give us a taste of what we're waiting ever so patiently for.
03/27/2015 6:27 PM ·Spoilers
Oh well, guess I'll just have to live with Hyrule Warriors for my Wii U Zelda action for now...
03/27/2015 6:27 PM ·Spoilers
Ocarina of Time wouldn't have been as great of a game if it weren't delayed so I approve of this decision!
03/27/2015 6:27 PM ·Spoilers
I was going to go to E3 for the first time this year. I was most excited about The Legend of Zelda Wii U. It is my favorite series, after all. This hurts me.
03/27/2015 6:28 PM ·Spoilers
Dang that sucks to wait longer but Hopefully it will be worth it.
03/27/2015 6:28 PM ·Spoilers
I swear, if you delay the Xenoblade Chronicles X localization to 2016...
03/27/2015 6:29 PM ·Spoilers
I hope its a great game. Take time and make it better than Link to the Past and MM combined!
03/27/2015 6:31 PM ·Spoilers
I am fine with a delay, though. If it makes it a better game in the end, I am okay with that. I really wanted to play it, though...
03/27/2015 6:32 PM ·Spoilers
not even in E3?! Mr. Aonuma, plz don't disappoint us with the finished product....
03/27/2015 6:32 PM ·Spoilers
I could see this coming from a mile away. A 2015 date seemed kind of ridiculous for a game of such a large scope. And guys, remember what Miyamoto said: "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."
03/27/2015 6:32 PM ·Spoilers
Super bummed to hear about the delayed release date, but if it results in a better game, I'm all for it. What is harder to get is the decision to not present at E3... 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. Sad news, but I still can't wait for it!
03/27/2015 6:36 PM ·Spoilers
haaaaa! Poxa! Mas se vai melhorar jogo tudo bem! E se for fazer como no Zelda TP q saiu pra Wii e GameCube, vai ser muito bom mostrar o NX com Zelda rodando nele e no Wii U, pois vamos poder comparar a evolução de hardware! Esperemos então 2016!!!
03/27/2015 6:36 PM ·Spoilers
I'd rather have a great game than an okay one rushed to get out on a deadline so keep up the good work.
03/27/2015 6:37 PM ·Spoilers
Wow! I've never seen anything like this! Thank goodness I probabally won't have to pay with my own money because of my birthday in September or more expectabally, Christmas. This also makes me relate back to my own coding (which is NOWHERE close to your amazing games!), how new ideas continuously come forth into mind, and you have to adjust the whole game because of it!
03/27/2015 6:38 PM ·Spoilers
Well, not gonna lie: I'm disappointed that they won't show anything at E3. I mean, everyone was expecting a trailer that would get us all hyped for the game. However, I can understand. I'd rather have a complete and "ultimate" Zelda game like Aonuma said. I'm sure the final product will be well worth the wait. In the meantime, I guess we'll have to keep playing SS, aLBW and MM3D.
03/27/2015 6:41 PM ·Spoilers
Im not unhappy about the GAME being delayed, considering X will definitely be keeping me busy, but I am worried about what Nintendo will release this holiday, because if they want better Wii U sales, they NEEEEEED a big holiday game
03/27/2015 6:41 PM ·Spoilers
Thank you for the update! Please take whatever time you need to make Zelda U the best experience it can be! I look forward to playing it even more now!
03/27/2015 6:42 PM ·Spoilers
The new Zelda game sounds more and more promising every time I hear about it. I'm sure that the delay with be worth it. Looking forward to the end result. Keep up all the good work.
03/27/2015 6:43 PM ·Spoilers
I bet you, in truth, they're delaying it because they didn't reach a deadline. xD
03/27/2015 6:43 PM ·Spoilers
I will add that I am 100% for the delay. Wind Waker HD was so much better than Gamecube version. GC Zelda was rushed & dungeons were cut and later used in other Zelda titles.
03/27/2015 6:43 PM ·Spoilers
As Miyamoto once said... "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." Take all the time you need. It will be worth it in the end.
03/27/2015 6:44 PM ·Spoilers
So this leaves room open fir a surprise Metroid game right!! But seriously The last time they did this with a Zelda game was with OOt and look at what they delivered to us a true classic in Zelda Ocarina of Time thank you Nintendo. Still the best standards in gaming.
03/27/2015 6:45 PM ·Spoilers
Nintendo it hurts. It hurts man. I can live with no E3 footage believe it or not. But the pushback, man. I just let my guard down & actually thought you would get it out this year. I had previously thought pushback was inevitable but you were so convincing. *Sigh* Well I know you'll do good work so carry on.
03/27/2015 6:46 PM ·Spoilers
Well, more time for X! Better yet, a new Zelda on the 30th anniversary!!!!
03/27/2015 6:48 PM ·Spoilers
Its perfectly fine, you guys stated your reasons and that's good enough. Also people really need to stop thinking its going to be like twilight princess release, NX is a concept of a console, it isn't coming 2017 because its way to early.
03/27/2015 6:49 PM ·Spoilers
For some odd reason, as much as I was/am looking forward to this game, I'm not THAT affected by its delay. I'd rather have an amazing, mind-blowing Zelda experience than a title that's similar to all the others. Of course, the open-world aspect will be completely different on it's own, but hearing they've come up with new ideas along the way is more than enough for me. It'll be worth it!
03/27/2015 6:49 PM ·Spoilers
...No, please...take your time...I'll understand...and I gue-I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE DOING THIS TO US!!!!.......*sigh* Okay, okay. What am I saying? You're doing your best to give us a great experience and I believe you'll deliver. I...apreciate it and we'll all have to be patient.
03/27/2015 6:51 PM ·Spoilers
I'm disappointed it won't be at E3; but does that mean there won't be a new trailer to quell our appetites too? Anything'd be nice, really. Regardless, I commend you, Mr. Aonuma, for taking this extra initiative to go above and beyond making this definitive Zelda experience the best it can be. I'm looking forward to ZeldaU more than anything else, and wish you and your team the best of luck.
03/27/2015 6:56 PM ·Spoilers
Just pull a Wii and put It on NX in the fall of 2016. Have a 3D mario alongside It, mario kart 9 confirmed for spring 2017 and a matroid announce for fall 2017 alongside splatoon 2. That right there Is a winning strategy and microsoft and sony won't be able to react because there two paperweights would have just started to get games unlike the Wii U that has had great NEW games since launch!
03/27/2015 6:57 PM ·Spoilers
Yas!! More time for XENOBLADE!! I was thinking I was not gonna have much time to play both games and The last time they did this with a Zelda game was with OOt and look at what they delivered to us a true classic in Zelda Ocarina of Time thank you Nintendo. Still the best standards in gaming.
03/27/2015 6:58 PM ·Spoilers
INB4 Obsessed consumers start to riot & call nintendo a failure (bunch of losers the internet has, doesn't it)
03/27/2015 6:59 PM ·Spoilers
Dear Nintendo, if you try to slip this to the NX, I will never buy another console from you, and thus far I've bought every single one except the Virtual Boy.

As many are already saying; this just gives us more time to play more games, so I support this decision 100%.
03/27/2015 7:04 PM ·Spoilers
Will be worth the delay?I hope so, but I´m a bit disapointed. Anyway good luck!
03/27/2015 7:04 PM ·Spoilers
So no Zelda game at E3 better have a bunch of other games ready because after Splatoon, Xenoblade, and Starfox you don't have much else left.
03/27/2015 7:05 PM ·Spoilers
NX IS A HANDHELD YOU GUYS WHY CAN'T PEOPLE GRASP THIS. NINTENDO HAS NEVER RELEASED A NEW HANDHELD BEFORE A HOMECONSOLE (AND GBC IS A REDESIGN SO NO IT IS NOT A NEW HANDHELD) Also I doubt they will slip it to the NX if it IS a home console, since they are delaying Zelda U to 2016, and NX is being ANNOUNCED in 2016, AKA NX will launch in 2017.
03/27/2015 7:06 PM ·Spoilers
The last time they did this with a Zelda game was with Oot and look at what they delivered to us a true classic in Zelda Ocarina of Time thank you Nintendo. Still the best standards in gaming FACT. well more time to play Xenoblade!!! I was thinking I was not gonna have enough time to play both!!As Miyamoto once said... "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."
03/27/2015 7:08 PM ·Spoilers
I didn't even know the release was announced for 2015 in the first place!
03/27/2015 7:08 PM ·Spoilers
This is the true way games should be developed. Not so much to aim for a release dates and add DLC to complete an uncompleted and rushed game, but to create it in the ultimate quality that will eventually blow gamers minds. Take all the time you need Aonuma. Good luck to you and all the hard working staff dedicating so much of their time to this game.
03/27/2015 7:11 PM ·Spoilers
im very ok with the game bring delayed and heay making the ultimate zelda game is a bettet reason to delay it then just needing more time
03/27/2015 7:11 PM ·Spoilers
Absolutely disgusting. Why make a big deal about it releasing in 2015 just three months ago to go back in it now? No E3 either? What wrong with Nintendo. I'm thinking they gave up on Wii U.
03/27/2015 7:17 PM ·Spoilers
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.

It's better to delay it than deliver it like Assassin's Creed Unity. Nintendo is no Ubisoft, we should be proud of this decision!
03/27/2015 7:20 PM ·Spoilers
It will probably be so much exploration like lego the hobbit, but I understand. Take all the time you need to make it amazing. Also, like other users said: You cant rush perfection. It will all be worth it when it comes out. For now, keep filling us in on the info. *bows*
03/27/2015 7:20 PM ·Spoilers
This will be a NX launch title because Nintendo knows Wii U is a failure and no one wants one. Then people will be smart enough to not buy NX because they will lose all loyalty towards you. RIP Nintendo.
03/27/2015 7:21 PM ·Spoilers
I do Understand™, but please throw us a little bone at E3, Aonuma-san!
03/27/2015 7:21 PM ·Spoilers
Are you guys mad? The Wii U NEEDS this game. Have the Mario team or whatever help out, so the game can be great and still on time.
03/27/2015 7:22 PM ·Spoilers
We literally JUST got a Majora's Mask remake fans have so desperately cried for. It's impossible for me to mad at the development team. They're investing all of their time and resources into an experience that'll not only challenge their creativity, but redifine what we percieved to be standard for a Zelda game. I know this game'll be worth the wait.
